*dies flailing at Dodgamuh* If I start gushing about it, I'll never stop, so I won't
And the getting jiggy's just a kiss, and an actual relationship's not rushed, and then not even for definite, depending on what both Ste and Doug come to realize about how they feel by the time Brendan finds out. I wonder how he will learn about the kiss though.
The source of the deli money will for sure be revealed then, and Ste will be mad at them both, but this could be Brendan's chance not to overreact after that and prove to Ste he just wants him to be happy no matter what. And I just know Doug's going to come to the conclusion he really does want to be with Ste, it wouldn't be soapy if he didn't. So somebody's getting hurt.
So I'm guessing Ste will choose Doug. Or rather, try to be happy with Doug as the 'better' option, but hopefully they'll grow to mutually feel like what they have is friendship, not love (and that Ste's still in love with Brendan/*whispers* and that Doug wants Lyns). And that'll give Brendan a little more time to sort himself out while that's going on and somehow resolve the abusive issues and draw Ste back to him for good now.
I can so see all of this happening in time for Later. Oh Jesus please.
