Sorry, I'm going tread on some toes here. Just have to correct something from the previous thread. The icing sugar thing with the Rae, Doug and Brendan set up drug deal.
Brendan was after getting Rae out of the picture by setting her up with real packs of cocaine. He roped in Doug as a go between as Rae would trust him and go through with the deal. Doug double crossed Brendan by going to Warren and telling him about the set up and asking for his help. Between them they came up with swaping the coke with icing sugar, with Warren keeping the real cocaine. Doug gave Rae the icing sugar knowing she'd be ok when she was picked up after Brendan's tip off to the police. Doug was actually always intending to foil Brendan's plan to frame Rae, not knowingly set her up.
I only bring it up as it seems ok for Brendan to get away with such acts, but if Doug or anyone else does anything vaguely "wrong" to Brendan they're deemed tw*ts and scum of the earth for doing such things. What about when Brendan did his best and succeded in getting Noah out of Ste's life? If we go by the principle that Doug is a tw*t for trying to get Brendan out of their lives then surely that means Brendan is a tw*t for what he did with Noah. And what he tried to do with Rae.
Don't get me wrong, I love Brendan. I think he's a fantastic character and easily a legend not just on Hollyoaks but across all the soaps. But sometimes
HE is a tw*t to some people. I'm not saying what Doug has planned is bad, good, right, wrong, whatever. But if the suggestion is Brendan has done nothing to provoke it then, to me anyway, that's silly.
I'll await the wrath while laying low in my bullet proof bunker until the end of the year. Cos, y'know, I've heard you guys are crazy!
