I know, it's a shame. I guess it was just very rushed, to fit in with the timetable for the stunt. But I didn't like how they played it at all, so I can't really root for them. I only care about Jacqui and Tony.


Well, he's definitely not there in any of the publicity. There was just that one tweet about him working with a lot of people, but that might not have been this. Such a shame if he's not though.

I really don't think Brendan will be there. He's not involved in any of the promotion and they never leave Brendan out of promos cos he's such a big draw

I know most of us don't really want Brendan there but I honestly don't see him just letting the bus/cakes go without following them.
Cheryl has warned him not to ruin the day, Brendan just wants Ste to be happy and therefore surely he would have to follow the minibus to make sure that happens??

Unless he's busy doing something else that would give the teens enough time so Brendan literally knows nothing about where it is etc

I can't see hollyoaks not taking advantage of this though to be honest

I don't mind Brendan not being there at the scene tbh

As long as he weeps by the bedside, kojan

Awww He's gonna be devastated ain't he? *sigh*

It's bloody great drama though

So Ste's 'loved' ones will probably consist of Cheryl, Doug, Brendan and the kiddies? I don't know why but I'd want to see Vile!Pauline's reaction to this, especially after the way she treated him recently. I'm so glad kieron got to do this stuff

Me too. He's never really had a big gritty plot to show how amazingly talented he is apart from the DV plot. So happy for him

Awww. Not many love Ste

Maybe Tony will come. If he's alive...

I just don't understand how they could do this and not have Amy come visit. I get that ASD isn't working for it anymore, it just seems a bit far fetched.

Hopefully Daddy!Brendan will be watching over Leah and Lucas.

TONEH! He's not allowed to die! I don't allow it

Everybodeh loves Steeee.... They just don't show it

They'll think of an excuse. Amy hasn't got her African phone working for example

Amy is in Namibia, with some random bloke, she would be there if she could but apparently Namibian Airlines have a very strong policy against plot devices flying with them.

Too many timely aircrashes apparently.

The most ridiculous thing Hollyoaks did once was not have a mother go to her two daughters' funeral because she'd left the show. So this is nothing

I think the way they've made it acceptable for Amy to not be able to make it to the wedding is because she's in another country, as for the same reason for Ste keeping the kids and why she can't come back and look after them whilst Ste's in hospital.

Clever really, for Hollyoaks

And I think they've kept Brendan out of the promo and the articles because he won't turn up until later and he obviously isn't going to get injured again so soon after Later, so there is no reason to heavily involve him, as he isn't really that involved. I do think he'll turn up though.

I know somewhere it said this will be the highest death toll meaning at least 6 would die.

Am I the only one who can't see 6 dying??
Id say 3/4 at most personally. Or they could do it like the corrie tram crash where randomers died and they counted that in the death toll..

Hey guys! I've seen the preview clip and the Soap Scoop article...blimey! Poor Ste! This is going to be unmissable tv!!
Is there any more news apart from these two?
And I see you are discussing whether Brendan will make an appearence during the wedding episode or not...do you think he might do??

I don't get it. People think that just because the kids are staying for 6 months with Ste, it means that Dublin is a Dream sequence/ Dublin will end in a disaster

What's so unbelievable about someone like chez looking after the kids? And anyway, since when did kids mean anything on oaks, It's all about whatever the plot requires, they make them disappear without a trace, nor an explanation, remember the time when Ste took his kids to the park and Lucas was no where to be seen?

Is this the same policy which stops Doug's parents being there as well?

Yep they are cute plot device kids. Even when you are a parent you have a life too. And even its not like Ste is gonna stay in Dublin for a month or anything is it. Few days at most

That annoying moment your mum wants to go shopping and you might miss the start of keebro ahh

Yep c&s, the same policy that stops Mike from coming to see his grandchildren take part in a wedding as well.

Damn that plot device policy.

I didn't realise Amy was in Namibia, because all I heard in that scene was:

Blah blah some singing about a wedding.

Oh the kids are here, and for sixth months, and then something about Amy with some teacher guy or something.

Doug is unhappy.

Guess I should pay more attention.


Haha true


Can't endanger the people.


I'm sure she was off somewhere doing something far more important than mourning the death of her children. Obviously.

Once Dublin happens, I hope not to ever see the words dream sequence again. I even had an anon asking if I definitely knew it wasn't one. I have a sense of logic though .

Ugh I know. It's so annoying. After Dublin happens, I kinda wanna go up to every single person whose been spewing this stuff around and give them my best bitch face/ a slap

I suppose a lot of them don't really believe it their just bitterbut it is annoying because it makes some people second guess and panic.
