oof that was difficult to watch. Oh Brendan

Watching it on +1 again cuz it really was amazing. Cheryl going on and on so blindly... It actually hurt to watch it. She just...lives with the bloody faeries. It's like she's literally not capable of recognising something with any kind of complexity. She may have a big heart, but she's so shallow. I've no idea how she's gonna deal when she finds out.


So I'm assuming he's gonna be going back for more sessions, right? And walk out of one next week?

I think Cheryl's just in such strong denial. Pa probably influenced her in other ways. Maybe he's like Brendan himself - manipulative and charming. She was blind to his imperfections for a long time too, not wanting to see the truth.

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
Right! Exactly my thoughts, there was 1 or maybe 2 moments when her eyes would kinda squint and she felt that something was off but then I think she shrugs it off

I'm sad while everyone else is happy.

It's a good sad though.

Emmett was so good tonight.

I'm not sad so much as angry at the way they are writing Cheryl.

I know she is supposed to be shallow but no one is that dense.

Counsellor woman I condone you to pummel her in the face until she wakes up.

Oh, that part about the cake was so sinister. Poor Brendo ran away because he was scared of his dad. ): And worried for Cheryl I guess. And I think people are right; if the counsellor hasn't guessed that Brendan was at least traumatised in some way by their father, then she's probably not a very good one. But knowing her, she's probably dealt with abuse survivors in her career so I would be surprised if it didn't come up, maybe when Cheryl's not there.

Did Brendan say he had asthma in one part of the episode as well?

Oh Cheryl, thick as a plank of wood
She really is. I do find myself wondering if it is some sort of denial situation. Up until it effected her first hand she was always completely in denial about Brendan in every way, shape and form. His criminal activity, his sexuality, his lies, everything.

Until he told Pete everything and she overheard.

Yes at the end of the day what person wants to see that in their father? Much easier to see it in Brendan because shes seen with her own eyes what he can do but her Dad as obviously been nothing but loving to her.

In that respects it was very clever what they did in later with the body, it gave Cheryl something to hang on to in her belief that Brendan is a monster. There must be drama for this reveal and what better drama than Cheryls utter denial that it happened.

See maybe I would believe that, but Brendan was pretty much crying during the whole thing. Did it not occur to her to maybe ask why? After all she hasn't really seen her brother get overly emotional about anything before!

Though I must remind myself this isn't real sometimes...

Evening.

Right the tears are flowing in the Sutts house - Emmett is just amazing as Brendan. The escalation tonight was just heartbreaking and in my mind, of course Chez is oblivious - he's made sure she is, he's done that for her and carried all the weight of it

AND then the photographs from Dublin just finished me off and yes, I am blubbing - yay!

Haha! Who actually is Frozenstrawberries? She seems quite elusive. Is she on Tumblr or forums or anything else?

No I can't cope with this Cheryl is so shallow business, well she is shallow, and self obsessed.

Sometimes they write her as really wise and kind though, those are the bits that annoy me.

She was understanding to Steph, eventually, Mal, Gilly, Rhys, Warren, Eggy and some bloke that was wandering by.

They write her like a sad, desperate, bitch who would kill her own granma (beaten to it) for a sniff of a nice looking mans toilet roll.

They have made her a stupid, vain, monster.

Redeem her HOs, Bronagh deserves so much more.

I agree, at Xmas I expect Brendan to do anything in his power to ensure Cheryl doesnt find this out. I expect if Ste finds out there will be problems there but he will not want Cheryl knowing.

Tell her I F*CKING love her!
She honestly saved me from FF all their scenes


Also: MissC, are you about? Can you ask Emma if the Dublin ep is a Stendan special/two-hander? I'd ask her myself but she never replies to me, so... you, on the other hand, are royalty

He did say he had asthma. How cute and human.

I will kill Cheryl myself if she doesn't wise up soon.

*Obviously I won't kill the fictional character that is Cheryl, I will merely wish she was a dead. #hyperbole

I do wonder if Ste and Brendan have a barney about whether Cheryl should know or not.

Oh god. Just think about it, how much amazing stuff we have to come. It's going to make post-Brendan stuff even harder to watch

Maybe they'll redeem her when all the Pa stuff comes out? Her dealing with it all could redefine her character?

Totally. She doesn't know because he has made sure of that and protected her. The things that he has done to keep her from knowing this, basically he's sacrificed himself, puts up with her sh*t, but essentially is always there for her AND turns up to bloody counselling which is like the knife in his heart all for her. They had better knock it out the park when she finds out and write her properly is all I can say...
