Holy. Crap.

Tonight's episode was so amazingly good! I was just not expecting that much intensity at all! I really didn't think we'd get Ste's realization so soon (if at all!) I really thought it would be a more gradual thing where Ste slowly thinks to himself 'Hey...why has Brendan not visited?' But my God, as soon as he woke up it's the first person he wants to see.

Oh Ste The whole thing was heart breaking.

I'm so glad they decided to go down the route of 'Ste nearly died and now realizes that he was only kidding himself by ignoring his feelings for Brendan.' I dare say that Ste will now only continue with Doug because (1) he doesn't remember their fight and (2) because he thinks Brendan doesn't want him anymore. He won't realizing that Brendan is doing what he THINKS is the right thing to do, and by the time we get to Dublin we're going to want to explode.

I definitely think the cross will be relevant. Once he realizes what him and Doug were fighting about it will be like 'Oh God, this guy was going to send the love of my life to jail!' then when he finds the cross it will be like clarification to Ste. It's one thing Cheryl saying 'Yeah Brendan was here when your were admitted,' but it's another to find the cross (something Brendan takes with him everywhere he goes. A sign of his love and faith) and realize Brendan's heart has been with him the whole time and had been hidden from him by his 'husband.'

God this is going to be epic.

Also Ste's eyes at the end of the episode. Are you trying to kill me, HO's? His eyes were burning with the desire to see Brendan. They looked on fire, it was so intense. You could just see how much he wanted to see Brendan and how much he wanted to hold him.

What I would give to know what would have happened if Brendan had walked in in that moment. I think Ste would have told Doug to leave because he wanted to be alone with Brendan and he wouldn't give two flying f**ks if it hurt Doug or not. I don't think he was thinking about Doug at all tonight. He couldn't wait for Doug to leave the room so he could ask Cheryl to bring Brendan.

Oh my God it's seriously like someone just wrote about this in a Fanfiction. It doesn't seem real. Way too good to be real. They love each other. I'm so happy Ste knew it as soon as he opened his eyes and there was no wait. He now knows his days are numbered and he knows who he needs more than anyone else.



BH

Brendan knows. He touched his heart and said he understood what goes on in there. That's the basic truth - they're connected.

It's like my guinea pigs. They share a bond, take one out of the hutch and the other squeaks and gets upset. I'm renaming them Brendan and Stephen


Brendan KNOWS Stephen. End of. Doug *pah* he knows NOTHING

Aww at Kieron and Ela. Think they're in The Slum here

@demircl: @kieronrichardso @Elamay06 far 2 cute together x http://t.co/uktMGJI9

I totally noticed that. Especially Danny and Jeremy, really close match in eye color. And their stuff was good.

Lol

what a strong love they have, then

Oooh, PJ's and possible night shoot tonight? Can we hope for something Ste related at all? Even thought it's in the slum, they need actual night-time for some scenes?

I don't think Kieron is in tonight, he was going on about watching Cheryl Cole on ITV earlier, I think.

They are so cute.


It was good I am intrigued as to what happened with his mum now. I also liked having Darren there with him - Dadger - I like

I'm sorry.

Although I do have Emmett as my wallpaper on my phone - which led to an interesting question today if the man was my father.

It baffled me that my friend actually thought my FATHER could be 33 years old! 33!!

I can't get over his eyes. I know Kieron's good, but that was just something else.


Aw, Sutts. That's adorable.

Oh yeh

Then again, night shoots can be any time from 16:30 these days. Dark, so early!

hmmm there was also a spoiler about two people embracing unexpectedly if I'm not wrong

it's great you found a streaming for hollyoaks I don't know if I could be able to watch live because there are always people at that time at home and I wouldn't be able to watch in peace

That's lovely.

I'm still so glad they gave Ste his kids back.

He looked all battered and bruised.

The mirroring was so strong tonight. Brendan wakes in the hospital after the explosion - who does he want? Stephen. Who does he imagine he sees? Stephen.

Tonight was the same in reverse for Ste.

It really was special.

I won't rename them actually, they're too old and would get confused

I wonder who's next to Kieron in that picture...

Hmmm...

Me too! Amy always used to annoy me, but I miss her now Ste needs a friend
A proper friend.. not one he so clearly still has the hots for

To be honest, it looks like PJ's hand/shirt

What will Ste and Doug have to reconcile about though? There's no fight between them right now while Ste's lost his memory, so maybe he remembers? But with Doug having been the attentive husband that won't leave his side, he forgives him? I hope not, but Brendan won't have come and Ste will need help.

And then it could still be the cross that comes out later.

It's totally plausible OverAndOver. Dodgers dad is after all!

LOL at kieron and his mug
Bless him

Only Brendan isn't going to appear at ste's hospital side and tell him he's marrying another dude

I think what will happen is Brendan won't come and Ste will think that it's over. He'll decide that he needs to try with Doug, but the cracks will show. I think the cross will appear very late on as people have speculated and possibly come out with Ste remembering what Doug did.

It's very interesting. I think they will portray (in a sympathetic way) that Doug is willing to withold things from Ste because he thinks he loves him and Ste will realise and this will just reinforce the wrong of it all forhim.

We know PJ's in NY anyway at least for now.

To be fair Jeremy Sheffield is 46 and Dodgers like what? 23/24?

Not that Jeremy looks 46 at all tbh. Sexy hunk
