Whether you detest it or adore it, you cannot deny Brendan's depth of love for Ste. So of course he's going to react to him possibly dying. 
It's not as if he did a Doug and became completely hysterical.
Oh, that's so funny.

Oh I really didn't find him overly dramatic at all.
I was sitting with two people (one in particular) who would have had no problem at all telling me if they thought it was OTT as well. My one friend (the one I talk to about Stendan) would absolutely relish in telling me if he was being OTT haha. He would tell me that just for badness to get me to react! But all he had to say was good things and even said that Emmett is clearly a very good actor and 'one of the most developed characters in Hollyoaks,' High praise

I thought it was really believable to be honest. Much more than Doug's overly dramatic scenes. The thing is maybe it would have been strange if we had never seen Brendan react that way before, but he has reacted that way before. He reacted the same when Declan was found overdosed!
I don't know, I'm trying hard to figure out if I'm being biased or not, but I really thought his reaction was believable and my body got goosebumps. You could tell he was overwhelmed with it all at once because he wasn't even at the Wedding like Doug was, so it was hitting him all at once and he didn't even know how seriously Ste was hurt until he got to the hospital.
