Yeah, it has really awful and chilling connotations now! I don't know whether the writers did that deliberately.

Yeah I reckon thats how they will play it now, when it comes out you will have that little Cheryl remembering her brother and how he wouldnt say boo to a goose and how that suddenly changed and it will just click for her.

Yes! me too. Makes you think that everything he could have grown to just love and enjoy, it's all tainted, even the innocent things. Heartbreaking.


Bless you Hanni, just what I needed to cheer me up.

I know all the other soaps have a hell of a lot more viewers, but I just wish there was a platform to get people to see Emmett in these scenes.

I usually tut and shake my head when soap stars say they want to make in in Hollywood, but I will (sadly) shoo Emmett out of the country to make a big name for himself. He bloody deserves it.

Sure its deliberate, making even the simplist things Brendan enjoys twisted into what his Pa did.

Definitely.

Everything he should of enjoyed as a child, like cake, has been tainted by his father. It's sickening.

Oh that's so awful

Brendan NEEDS happiness. I don't care what anyone says.

What a wonderful script and excellent acting from Emmett, Bronagh and the councillor(name not know,sorry!).
I found myself talking at the telly for Cheryl to shut up shut up shut up during that "my da loved me best,I were his little girl until Bren came along", I know it's not her fault as she doesn't know but still and I really don't think that you could ever ever guess that someone you love and idolise could do that to a little child,not ever and especially Cheryl as to her,that world is so far off what she grew up in, bubbles and happiness and what not, that when she finds out, everything will change and i'm sure she will doubt it..who wouldn't. I'm sure she'll excel in those scenes as Emmett and whoever they find to play the da, it gives me chills just to think about it but somehow I can play it all in my head. Great anticipation to come and I like all you lovelies cannot wait.

He does.

But it's weird, because he still likes them as we've seen with Ste.

I'm trying to analyse it too much!


That gives me such warm feelings. Knowing that he experiences that one moment of pure happiness. And hopefully many more to come. And when he finally faces Pa, he'll be free. He'll die free.

The more I look at this pictures, the more excited I get
Our babies are gonna be so happy

Elizabeth Rider. And I agree.

I've come to realise when Cheryl finds out after she hasn't believed him and she tries to come for forgiveness i want Ste to come to the door and tell he to go away and that he believed him when she didn't.

Just for a bit but i do want him to be angry at her if she doesn't believe Brendan and for him to basically protect him from the world.

Ok so I see it as:

16 - sleeps with Egg
16 - Eileen miss carries
17 - has Declan
18 - tries it on with Peter
19 - marries Eileen

So Bren sleeps with Egg, and other guys, but feels like he has to be 'normal' so sleeps with Eileen and gets her preggers, she loses the baby and so tries for another one, they have Dec, and then tries it on with Peter, due to the outcome of that he panics and marries Eileen.

If we say Cheryl is 29 then Brendan will be 31, it does work, just about lol.

I know you might think Brendan is a bit young to be trying for a child at 17 but if he is really trying to prove he's straight then a child will about do it.

Aww, look at them.

but Lynsey was born in 1986 and her and cheryl were the same age

He married Eileen when Eileen was pregnant with Declan.

Emmett is the best, this stoyline is actually going to kill me.
I hated that line "he made me the man I was", and Cheryl's smile when everyone else was just like .

However this is happy-Stendan-squee 24 hours and I refuse to be sad and so I am goin to treasure the amazinng comedy:

HAND HOLDING PHOTOOOOOOS SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Brilliant! Do it! we need some more Stendan fics

I don't get why Cheryl was happy with Brendan saying 'He made me the man I am today'.

Cheryl, you hate who he is, isn't that why you're at counciling? You should have been insulted if you think so much of that rapist

He's all impatient waiting for Ste hehehehehe

I love this photo cos Brendan is smiling at Ste

I think something's you can 'forget' about, but the main points I've said you can't really mess with to much.

Elizabeth rider?
Oh councillor right. Thank you Sarah, glad they cast a woman and not a male councillor for some reason.

I suppose shes relating Brendans good side to her Dad, she is thankful for the protection he always gives her so perhaps she sees that as something he has picked up from their Dad?

Oh Cheryl, why did you not get that 'He made me the man I am today' is not a good thing!

You're at the Councillors because of Brendan being the man he is today!

Oh Cheryl, thick as a plank of wood
