No idea but I bet it was written in crayon.
Ha!

Grant Black. He did the excellent episode straight after Later, when Ste told Brendan about the proposal.
Oh, Surprising. I mean the ep itself wasn't bad, but Ste's characterization was so off. He was like a different person today

I know what you mean BH, but however lovely Brendan's being now, and despite him already beginning to change, he's still the man who beat Ste, and made him lose a lot of self confidence. Doug still looks the better choice.

Completely understand what you mean. The writing has been inconsistent. And I do think a part of Ste does want to get married, and have what he perceives as that safe and secure life with Doug. But for the most part, Ste's really been shown to love Brendan these past few weeks.

Don't be too down, everyone
Haha Aw I'm not too down to be honest, I actually didn't mind the episode! It's just a little frustrating that when Ste is with Brendan he seems to love Brendan, but when Ste is with Doug he also seems to love Doug. There's nothing shown to suggest he doubts his love for Doug, or that Doug might not be enough, he just seems to genuinely love Doug. It's only when Brendan is in the room or if he's just with Brendan that the doubt is there...but I'd kind of like it to show when he is with Doug too. That everything isn't perfect. Even just a little look when Doug is talking about the Wedding, like a worried expression or something.

I do think we'll get this as the Wedding gets closer though. I really hope he doesn't look ecstatically happy on his Wedding day, it'd be a bit too hard to swallow!

Yeah sure, if you want to come to Wales, climb mountains and do Geography coursework?

I think there's been quite a lot of signs - the episode after Later where Doug was moving in, and Ste looked miserable, and so scared for Brendan. The kiss where they were in College Coffee after Doug came back from America, and Ste looked so unsure. And when he got drunk last week.

But I do agree that we need more than that. I want sledgehammering sometimes

Yes, a lot of what he said didn't feel like Ste.

I just want Brendan back
The wedding spoilers though 'Ste finds out something shocking' then next day 'Doug can't let go of the past'

What past can Doug not let go of surely not Brendan again
It must be Brendan related

Stug's entire relationship has pretty much revolved around Brendan

Again, watching EE with the family. At least we haven't been as screwed over as the Chryed fans. I think I'd be in a complete state if I were one from what I can see on tele.
They're getting a divorce, aren't they? And Syed cheated on Christian?

Yeah I know what you mean, and I'd be fine with that if that's what they were showing, but it's not really. I guess it's kind of implied, but that's what I mean by saying I'd prefer it if Brendan did something to spook Ste off. Not hit him or anything obviously, but do something that reminds Ste of why they're not meant to be together. I'm not quite sure what, but something to spook him back to Doug. To me it's not really being portrayed that Ste doesn't want to be with Brendan for those particular reasons. I feel like it's more he loves Doug too, and he doesn't want to hurt Doug, and that's why he doesn't know if he wants to be with Brendan. Also the fact that Brendan has lied to him and manipulated him in the past. I don't know I just don't get the impression it's because he''s worried of Brendan being violent anymore, I think it's more than that now.

Could be completely wrong, it's probably a combination of all those things. I know Brendan still has a lot of growing to do, and I didn't actually mind the episode. Stug annoy me but that was the extent of my annoyance.

SDay just pointed out that Rachel's tweet about doing a nice scene with Kieron, PJ and Bronagh from last week could of been for today's episode?

Just thought I'd let you all speculate about that too

If it means no Stug then YES I DO.
*packs bag*

Ok, meet you 12:30 on Sunday?

ETA: I have ter go Sarah.

And like C&S said, it's better than Stug...

Haha! I agree Oh there have been a lot of signs, I'm just being ridiculously greedy and it never seems to be enough.
I'll be the first to admit I'm greedy when it comes to Stendan. Too much is never enough

I love Wales, I can read a map and take bearings and if we all get stranded there is a good 10 days of food on me.

Yes, it's definitely changed from the focus on Brendan being violent to Ste just having the dilemma over him and Doug, BH. It would be so much better if it wasn't like that. But I guess we just have to fanwank that the choice is so hard because of the abuse. However much Ste loves Brendan.

Will the coach come to my house to pick me up? I have a rucksack and a flask and everything.

Anyway, I have to go and leave you lovely people. I've got a shipment of heroin coming in from the Balkans tonight, needs my attention. Ta ra!

Sure thing, I don't like the other people going anyway.

Anyone else?

Fanwanking is so uncertain I like my TV to spell things out for me

I agree, it would've been nice if it was more of a legitimate concern for Ste because he has to choose to trust that Brendan has changed or spend his life with 'safe' Doug. It's more like he just can't choose. At this rate we just have to fanwank it, you're right.

Does anyone else like to go back to part 152 and just relive the moment when we first saw that picture of them kissing on the bridge? I do.
