It probley will be but it still won't make me like her
She will probably tell him but only after talking Brendan down for an hour, you are not going to take him back are you love, he's bad news you know.
Ste will probably have to shout at her a bit. I hope.

Of course it was a disappointment not to have Ste involved with Later. But he has years left for that if the story's right. He's just been involved in the show's biggest and most high profile stunt and week in years, I don't think he's hard done by. You know how right it is for both Ste and Brendan's characters to reunite so I'm surprised you call it fanservice when it's clearly been the plan all along. I wouldn't call the journey cheating at all either, I'd call it soap. It's exactly what I'd expect from a soap. It's unfortunately not the medium with ten characters that get an equal exploration where everything is driven by character. It's about twists and shocks and keeping people guessing. And even if the stories and plots haven't necessarily been what we'd have chosen for Ste - you know I'd watch him deal with family stuff all the time, but there has actually got to be a reason for it - he's still massively at the forefront of the show so he's clearly valued.

Well, getting hit by the van and being put into a coma was dramatic for him, but it's to serve Brendan and Doug. He isn't getting to do anything. And he's only at a forefront because he's in ships with the show's star and now a show favorite too. And will another Later ever be as massive and relevant to his character as this one was? He needed the development this year to go with the bigger picture of Stendan. Coming off of that storyline and with Amy gone, he's got nothing and no point for anything they do with him after. And I'll always be bitter about January and Jubilee Week, and the just getting tossed Doug. Doug.
And we can't even know for sure Kieron won't leave. That he isn't.
Like I've said before, I'm not built for soaps if that justifies this.
But I'll just shut up now since there's no point.
Thinking about it, I think if Brendan leaves for Dublin and properly leaves (sells the club etc.) it will be his absence that makes Ste realise he can't live without him. If he actually sold everything and showed no signs of ever coming back, that would do it I think.
.... I've just got this image of Ste calling him and the phoneline being all "This number is no longer in use". And that's it; he's properly gone from Ste's life.

Morning or afternoon now....
Just popping in for a quick visit, but please can someone tell me how we know that Ste isn't a popular character?it hurts my heart and mind to think this, I mean how can anyone be disinclined to not like him..I mean look at him and he has really grown in his development from hiw he was to hiw he is, despite the stress stug can cause.... Where have people read this? Thanks x

I'm not sure about him actually selling the club, maybe putting it up for sale and Ste sees the signs but I think Brendan will still have to be owner of the club for when they come back from Dublin.

Unless he leaves it to Ste
*will forever want this*
Or he sells it, and upon returning, opens a restaurant and lets Ste head chef.
*will forever want this also*
*tries to forget the damn deli*

Danny Houston!
Seriously, Jimmy vs Danny.
Jimmy was a bit of a rubbish villain really, Danny would make mincemeat of him if they met as their characters.

I imagine tonight's episode won't pick up straight after last night's,as it's after the weekend at C4 pace. So I'm expecting a sort of 'reveal' that Ste's alive, like they did after Later when we found out that Brendan hadn't died.

I wonder if he'll still be at risk though and we get Bruglas bonding.
No doubt Doug will be a brat and Brendan will skulk off alone.
Oh I hope that was it for Bruglas bonding, I can't abide the idea of them having a deep and meaningful conversation when neither of them has ever had a proper one with Ste.
Don't make me sad HOs.
Don't make me sad HOs.
Twitter does my head in 
it's like you can't have an opinion on a character (Doug) without someone indirectly tweeting some comment about it & and then they have the cheek to moan about themselves getting indirect tweets 
think some unfollowing may be in order

They could cry in each other's arms.

Well we've no idea what kind of drama post-coma will bring for him. Even if he's not single. You could argue every half of every couple is just there to be a catalyst for the other and their stories. Even if characters are single, they're used to fuel the development of other characters. Esther fuelled Maddie's character and vise versa.
We hate the Stug stuff and might argue it's failed in our eyes, but Doug is there to give Ste a stable relationship (although arguably, not often) and a successful business. And it's not popular with us and we didn't enjoy it, but it gave him dramatic scenes to act, and now he seems to have the kids back and that might bring other stories, so that's good - surely?
Personally unless the main show and Later shows were completely different from what we saw, no, Ste wouldn't have fitted in this year's Later. I highly doubt Kieron will leave any time soon, he's had years of grittiness and I'm sure that will continue long after Brendan's gone. It might even include a Later with a fitting story for him involving something which is out of the realmns of speculation right now!.
You don't have to shut up, I just think you're setting yourself up for disappointment this way! Ultimately it is the nature of soap, for better or for worse, but it's enjoyable escapism TV for 30 minutes every week-night designed to make people tune in every night to follow the twists and turns and make them desperate for killers to be discovered or characters to consummate their feelings and that's not going to change. It's not an issue that exists just for this story. I'm sure every fan of every soap would tell you the same.

Completely agree. Great post.
He'd leave the club to Cheryl though most likely. And Joel still owns half.
I think he'd just collect on whatever money he's still got floating around and leave, start another business in Dublin. Cheryl will tell Ste what he needs to know when the time comes, she'll get a call from the airport for the address, or Joel could tell him. I don't want to believe he would leave his kids with Texas and Leanne, but they might have some babysitting experience by then, this is all a month away. He'd still be coming back with or without Brendan.
