I think someone else wondered the same, a while back. Like Brendan makes a deal with god to go if Ste pulls through.

It would explain why he leaves.

Oh dear, this is all going to be very emosh.

What's the betting Doug will bin it when he realised who's it it? I swear I won't be responsible for my actions if that happens..... and he'll get more than a "piss off, Doug" shouted at him from my living room, I can tell you....

I made this like a week ago but 100% the same cross.

It's a really strange distinctive shape, with a sort of band diagonally across it, and a box style chain. So yes, expect meaningfulness and angst. Poor Brendan. Poor Brendan's baby.


No one need that Sarah. Specially not just before bed. Nightmares.

Omg Ste!!!

I've now realised when Kieron said 'I don't even have a job anymore' He probably said that to make people believe Ste does die and put people off the scent of Dublin.

We know what you're doing Kieron but it's not working

Also, made this stupid little fic up, not as good as Ayla's but I'm bored and Stendan is running through my brain

Oh god this is going to break brendan and brendan reacting to it is going to break me god everyone will be broken

Hmmm, I was just saying to Ready, I wonder if Doug will feel guilty because it's his fault Ste's outside in the first place because he goes out to get away from Doug?

Yes, and there's no way they'd have put so much focus on it if it was just some cross. It's not A cross, it's THE cross.

Yes, your right.... just looking at the close up and it has like a band around it, and the whole cross is darker than the chain, so it IS Brendan's, the same one that drapes so wonderfully around his neck, meaning HE'S the ONLY one who can put it over Ste's hand. I want that scene, if we are lucky enough to see it, to be so ridiculously emosh, even though I can't take much more.

Maybe. But to be fair, Ste wouldn't necessarily have had a better chance of survival if he was inside the venue.

I wondered if Doug would take it away, but there's a spoiler about settling differences with Brendan, so maybe he lets him in? Anyway, he better not, or there'll be trubble.


Is Doug ever guilty about anything? Even cheating his own grandma? He'll blame Brendan. :sleep:

Hope he does

Looking at the photo again, and even though Ste is battered, bruised & in a coma, his hand looks really delicate and lovely with Brendan's chain draped over it.

Ah, Hollyoaks. They do like their symbolism.

*strokes collection of discarded chess pieces and bullets*

Oh Ste I don't think they'd have this whole religious thing with Brendan right before the crash and then not have the cross be his it ties in. We've always been shown Brendan has that cross and HO normally only uses stuff for a reason so It should be Brendan's. Being that he seems to be the only one of Ste's loved ones who would turn to God in a time of crisis.

Saying this Doug could always walk in with a cross unless they come to some sort of truce I think it's likely Doug will hide the cross from Ste

True, but if that was me I'd definitely still feel guilty


If he does, I hope Brendan sets him straight. The man is seriously pissing me off with his lack of owning up. Boy needs a slap.

Can't remember who said it and can't be bothered to scroll but I agree if Doug bins that cross then shiz is going down!!

Do you think he's just playing him, knowing how he's trying to stitch him up, and trying to look like Mr Innocent? I'd not trust him as far as I could throw him, to be honest, but all I will say is that IF he so much as looks at that chain with his disdainful, snotty face, my TV may get damaged....

I hope you've got the half-eaten grape too.

LOL.

It amuses me that after being hit by a minibus the only scrape he appears to have is on his ring finger.

Although to be fair, I imagine it's his head that's the problem. Hence coma.

Got to say, he does make a beautiful coma patient. No actual visibly broken bones. Like Mal, he is just poorly in a non-specific way. But not with the same outcome.

I questioned the fact that he might bin it.... sorry.

Oh he won't feel no guilt he'll blame Ste for running out there in the first place and expect an apology later on.

Snap Maya, I just posted the same.

He received a slight graze to the finger and sank into a beautiful coma.

Good job, seeing as he's got his big love scenes in a few weeks.

God, I'd forgotten about the grape metaphor.

Now that was a head scratcher.
