BIB: We're going to get lots of awkward situations where they do things like reach for the same olive and their hands brush, aren't we?

On the subject of Ste's writing, you'd think they might even be able to write something as simple as his reluctance to get involved with someone he works with again, after how complicated it got last time. But I get the feeling that it's going to be very Doug-focused.
But Maya, that would be recognizing his feelings over Brendan and we know how much of a no-go that is, don't we?


ETA: I honestly wonder where the "He's a character in his own right" Ste has gone.

Out the window, presumably, because I'm damn sure he won't have anything else to do other than the Doug/Eventual Brendan stuff.

It confuses me a bit, really, why they chose Ste and Doug to do this story with. Most likely for the drama it's going to cause. But drama is not necessarily good drama when it's written rubbishly! They should've had Doug lust over a new character or something that he'd just met, rather than Ste, cos they both deserve a story of their own - that is about them, and not a story that turns them into a bit-part character.

Oh it's annoyed me so much. Nowt is written well these days, Ready. Especially not where Ste is concerned.
I think maybe they thought they were being clever, and killing two birds with one stone. Doug has connections with Brendan, he's a loveable character, a good actor. He's actual competition, and it creates a love triangle which people are already divided over. Doug and Ste are similar in the sense that they're both very underused characters, who had barely any aftermath to big stories - Doug's suicide and the punch. But like you say, it's a load of rubbish really. It's unrealistic, twisting the characters for storyline purposes. And I have very little confidence that it will be explored in the depth that it should.

BIB - Completely agree. Remember when Ste used to beautifully written? Those were the days.

You big flip flopper.

You're not alone though, Ayla was saying the same to me recently.

Everything is so insular again. Ste's back to having Amy and a boyfriend, with Cameo!Brendan.



Oooooooh.

I think he is.

Walker?

He hot?
He looks alright to me, fairly youngish id say about Cheryls ages and yes it seems his name is Walker. Pretty cute and he doesnt look nasty in the slightest if it is him.

You watch him turn out to be gay, like that doctor bloke, and by unwanted - they meant he's an ex of Brendan's or summat.


ETA: Their reasons for having Ste and Doug together are laughable, really.

They've been involved with Brendan, so that means they should be together.

So all those other people Brendan has been involved with, is Ste going to get with them, too?

That new character that Cheryl and Cindy lust over is called Walker, there is a pic of the three of them one of the mags but no hint over whether he is also the same unwanted visitor.
Thanks Helen. That's interesting. He could be completely unconnected to the new villain..hmmm....

I'm so ashamed.

Just popping in to say HUGE CONGRATS to all you amazingly talented, witty, warm and crazy people on reaching PART 100 !!!!!!!!

Long may it continue.

Oh and Brendan is the sex and long may he continue.
Aww, how lovely. Thank you

I love all the Dodgamuh shipping that's happening now
Not that it's out of love for Amy, but you take what you can get
It must be part of the storyline for that on-location filming with the Savages and Allamy and Leanne we discovered awhile back. And it'll probably turn into a triangle, with Amy having feelings for Dodger, else why would she cheat on Ally if all she wants right now is sex and he's giving it to her?

And thing is with Doug, I don't even think it's about Ste really. I'll be pissed if he gets a better exploration on his love issues than Ste's ever gotten out of this, but I think Doug just sees Ste as someone to love. Someone so easy to love that he just found himself doing it in the midst of how incredibly close and comfortable they got, and how much Ste needed him and how protective it's made him than he's ever felt before. So maybe that's how Doug isn't gay, but it doesn't matter that Ste's a bloke, because Doug can somehow overlook that and is satisfied enough emotionally.
I wonder if that's why PJ called it a sexuality storyline. The kiss might have made him physically uncomfortable and he has to come to terms with whether he'll ever be ok with being intimate with Ste.

Hmm. I wonder if that is the unwanted visitor? I'd imagined him to be Brendan's age. Well, the vicious character, I mean. If he's not Pa. But there's nothing to say the unwanted visitor and vicious character are the same person, so who bloody knows?

I have no clue what I'm trying to say. I'll stick to hmm.

Yes, which is a shame. I don't see how they can't seem to be able to write a story from multiple perspectives. Surely alarm bells would be ringing in Ste's head?

Hey now, he'll get to speak to Amy too.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I hate the name.

It is a dreadful name, isn't it LMan? I hope he becomes BFFs with Wardy. Wardy and Walker.

Me too! And mine's out of love for Amy. She's my third favourite female character. BIB - that's immediately what I thought of. I hope they're camping and they do it in the tent.

Completely agree on your thoughts about Doug.

On Stug? A little. I thought it would be told as a story about both of them. Ste wanting to move on, and being written well, and Doug trying to come to terms with who he is, and what he wants, but I don't think I'm getting that and it makes me really sad.

I suppose asking for them to write two characters well at the same time is too much to ask now, whereas it used to be something we got all the time.

Yes, I thought it would be written more like that, with their perspectives both shown equally. I guess we shouldn't judge too early though (look what we all did with the Kieron interview!) It could end up that Ste's shown well. Although the show sucks at this currently, so I'm not feeling all that positive.

Well nothing is shown from Ste's perspective, is it? The Stendan stuff never is anymore, the Declan stuff wasn't, so I don't see why they should change a habit of a life time, really.

Hmph. This has made me sad.


ETA: Oh would you look at that. I've tweeted ES.

Yes, they probably all go on a trip and Amy and Dodger sleep together. Or they sleep together, then it all comes out on this trip? Either way, they're isolating Ally quite badly. He's already moved in with some mystery mate and now he's cheated on.

Their ship name is impossible.

Oh god , hilar.
I'm Maddie, babes. ~

I really felt they were doing well with him though. They mentioned his mum, his dyslexia, him wanting his kids to be proud of him, and wanting to achieve independence for himself. It's a shame that might disappear The online dating thing was dealt with so poorly yesterday.

Their ship name is impossible.
Walkdy? It's not good at all. It's not meant to be. *cries*

Happy 100th, folks.
Happy 100th, Lila!

I don't think it's actually the uniform that looks odd in the picture it's that they look so similar. Like Doug is smooching a mirror.

He could be Brendans ages I guess but hes sort of boyish looking to me, means nothing. Hes around all their ages basically.

I think they could be one of the same myself. That said there is no proof this unwanted visitor wont just simply be someone Brendan owes money to or something and not the villain.

Maybe plans have changed and there is no longer a new villain coming into it, that interview was a while ago afterall. The new person Bronagh was talking about could just be this Walker person.

Also, I know not many people would want this but is Ste just never going to get any?!

God give the boy a one night stand. Who cares if the character would never realistically go for it. He can't rely on lamposts forever and he hasn't had any since July and it doesn't sound like he's getting any with Doug any time soon, either.

I wouldnt judge going on these interviews myself, they were from PJ, hes there to talk about Dougs side only. It doesnt mean at the same time they wont be showing what Stes thinking. Im worried but I wouldnt right off as being completely about Doug just yet.

Oh, well, we know he and Doug go all the way in a fortnight. Even if it doesn't lead to an immediate relationship, right?

I don't really mind about this - and not just because of my Stendan shippy ways. I'd rather his character was worked on. But LOL at lampposts And he sleep with Doug soon, doesn't he?
