I know they have a lot of fans but without meaning to offend anyone, I just don't get why. Brendan is a wonderfully complex popular character who has been overused in the past because of this and Ste is just annoying. :yawn::sleep: |

Hopefully it will end soon .Brendan is a character who deserves to be alone.

I think they should make a choice between Ste/Brendan and Ste/Doug and just stick to it.
For while now they've been having Ste have these 'moments' with Brendan but then he always runs back to Doug in the end. It's constantly going round and round in circles and doesn't reflect well on Ste's character. I absolutely hate the 'Stug' pairing and think Doug is a far better character on his own. However, I think Hollyoaks would fear a backlash by reuniting 'Stendan' so I have no idea where this is going. Personally, I wouldn't mind Ste being single for a while. I'm pretty much in the 'anyone but Stug' camp. |

They ended it 12 or 18 months ago when Ste said something along the lines of "it's over", outside his flat, I think it was.
The rest of the so called "Stendan" moments have either been just two people in a scene together or the producer of the show at the time giving in to all the twitter begging and pleading. |

It was never going to end until Emmett decided to go, seems like that will be sooner rather than later now so the answer is soon. I predict that it will play out for another few months, while building up to an exit storyline for Brendan, they will get together for about two minutes happiness until Brendan dies or has to run for some reason. Unless Kieron leaves too, of course.
Admittedly i've found the majority of 'Stendan' tedious but I really have enjoyed their scenes since later, for the first time I saw some proper chemistry. |

But it will have to end soon and I suspect the Stendan fans will just have to bite the bullet, which I am sure they are pretty much prepared for, whilst they (the fans) await their moment of coming together.

They will never end until Brendan leaves the show. The writers will tangle the carrot in front of some Stendan fans thinking that they have found the heavenly triangle that will magically pull viewers to the show.

And Hollyoaks' most popular couples that have created the most discussion points and biggest fan bases are Stendan, Stug and McDean. All of which are same sex couples. For some odd reason the same doesn't happen with lesbian couples. This isn't a popular opinion or popular theory, but you only need to look at the most popular soap couples and characters that create the most discussion points. Hopefully, one day people will stop putting sexuality on a pedalstal and see it as a big deal, either consciously or not. It's not a big deal, it's just who you are. |

In my opinion, mostly yes. Same as real life, for some odd reason with a lot of people "coming out" increasing that individuals popularity. Same with Hollyoaks when Brendan, Ste and John Paul when they all "came out". It didn't happen with Doug because the whole storyline is ridiculous, plot driven and contrived.

What I also noticed was a soon as Esther tried to kiss Maddie that time people started 'shipping' them (oddly some still are) |

I am soooo bored of this whole Stendan thing. Just keep them apart - Brendan is a far better character without Ste and to me Ste is almost tolerable without Brendan because when they are together they are just annoying. I feel that these characters are so much better and stronger when they are not together and in their own storylines.

Just to point out that I have seen a massive amount of support for Tilly and Jen on twitter and tumblr, you don't seem to see it on here but they seem to have quite a big fanbase actually.
What I also noticed was a soon as Esther tried to kiss Maddie that time people started 'shipping' them (oddly some still are) wow, people shipping Maddie and Esther, oh dear, oh dear ![]() That answers the question and proves the theory. |

I noticed the Jen and Tilly thing when I went on the Hollyoaks site to watch the first 12 mins of Later. I kept seeing 'Jelly' being mentioned in comments - it took me a while to work out what they were talking about.

this. I'm not sure about the backlash thing though because if they break up definetly I can see even more backlash from stendan fans so really they have to make a decision and stick with it. maybe they think this love triangle is good drama but it's not.
I think Hollyoaks are well aware of these views and the backlash it would cause, which I think is one of the reasons they have worked hard to change Brendan in recent months. If they ever wanted to get Ste and Brendan back together then they knew he had to change. He's less of a 2D panto villain and actually has some depth now. For example, someone clearly stepped in and changed the 'landlord from hell' storyline they were planning to do with Brendan buying Ste's flat to 'they were going to knock it down so I brought it so you wouldn't be homeless'. However, I think Hollyoaks would rather deal with backlash from upset 'Stendan' fans rather than one which suggests they are condoning domestic violence. That is why I'm not sure if they would ever reunite them for good but I'd love it if they took the risk and just went for it. The love traingle is never ending and I have no idea why Ste and Doug never split despite how miserable they are together? They should either make Stug work, make Ste single or make Stendan happen. |

I read somewhere that some of the fans were thinking of complaining if Stendan were ever reunited, on the basis that it would be 'glorifying abuse' and 'condoning domestic violence'.

^ Aye aye, you two must be condoning domestic violence by liking them then!...that's sarcasm. Even although i'm not a Stendan fan it really annoys me when people say that about those who are. I wish people would stick to arguing the point and not the person.
