Someone who got a lot of photos with the cast in the last week or two got a picture with Andrew didn't they? Or am I making that up?

I can't remember who it was though.

Joellums.

Lol me neither tbh. He's alright looking but not for me ty.

No, I remember that too.

OMG Radio is that really what people are saying? Stuggers seriously are delusional arent they??


TBF I dont get why either of them wouldnt let him talk about it - I mean Ste has a right to know what happened! But yeah if Doug was really there for him he would have let him! (he just came across cold in that line). Where as Brendan had pretty much had that conversation in his head, imagining hugging him as he poured out all he needed to (Because that was the only way he thought he could )




BIB: It was a beautiufl scene I did go into mental meltdown but please tell me someone else had a niggling voice say "I hope were not expected to think thats Brendan it looks nothng like him".

I love how the Doug hate is diminishing as Stendan realms Yeah, I have to say I think I've been fangirling too hard to care much but I think you're right - the last two eps we have seen Doug trying really hard but not quite getting Ste and Brendan trying hard to not try and getting him completely (kinda like what it was like with Ste's Mum tbh)

Everytime somebody says the word Dublin now my stomach flips..

Catching up on Alan Carr chatty man and john bishops talking about the o2 in Dublin.

Dublin is Ste and Brendans place. Shh

Ummm well you won't get Doug hate from me

Yeah I think that's what they're trying to show. Doug can do all the right things but it's not quite what Ste wants/needs.

I agree. To be fair to Doug, although he seemed blunt when Ste tried to talk to him about the wedding, otherwise I thought he was good with Ste, helping him and the suchlike. But I'll be honest, I barely notice Doug if Stendan's in an episode.
And Ste was really showing the Brendan feels that ep
Aww you've made me feel all sad for Bren

i really did not like that LUCKY as well ...i just don't know why but Ste was not the luckiest one obviously
i got what Doug was trying still ....
Ste was trying to remember a bit maybe it will help him but no Doug was there to stop anyway ...

My "non Doug lover as long as he is with Ste heart " may be overreacting here ....i am only sure Brendan never would say you were lucky one ,haha...

I have a few concerns for the future after reading BK's interview.

If they want to change the show's direction then I think bringing back "old favourites" is taking a backward step.

Also I hope his "big plans" include casting new people for their acting ability rather than their looks.

Haha me too!

One of my mates was talking about wanting to go to Ireland and I agreed. They said they wanted to go to Dublin and I was like YES!
Then I wondered, if I ever did go to Dublin, if it would be weird writing 'Ste and Brendan' on a padlock and putting it on Ha'penny Y'know, cos I'm single and alone and I apparently care more about a fictional couple's relationship than I do about getting one of my own

It's not Dublin anymore.

It's Stendanland.

Get it right guys, god.

Doug is out of his depth, but he is trying his best. He held Ste. He's been at his bedside holding his hand. He'd been there all night hadn't he? Presumably he took the kids home yesterday then went straight back, because he hadn't even changed his jumper. He's giving him drinks through a straw. He's probably wrong in not answering Ste's questions and telling him what happened, but that's partly through wanting to save him from the distress. However it's also partly because he's frightened about jogging his memory about the recording and the rows. His paranoia hasn't gone away.

Oh, and I've just remembered Ste saying sorry when he dribbled some water down his chin

Okay here we go...

Yer wot?

And again

Now thinking of Brendan...

Ste

He looks so sad

Oh I totally have the same thing! They had a Dublin set of questions on University Challenge last week (its a family thing dont judge ) and I was like - "Seriously? Are you kidding me??!"


Yep thats all me, nothing to do with Emmetts perfect acting Brendans a broken man isnt he? A broken man with a receeding hairline (must stop with the hair comments).

I quite like his receding hairline.

I want him to go grey at the temples now.

#daddyissues

Oh my baby I missed how swollen his face was! It was all so perfect. Thank yoyu for capping

Doug was sending Cheryl a message with his eyes, wasn't he, sort of pleading not to say anything about the row? I wonder if Cheryl was meant to have been there and witnessed it?

I don't think he was doing that to protect Ste. He's doing it because he knows if Ste remembers it, he'll lose him again.

Meh, Doug. Meh, Cheryl. But at least Cheryl told Ste Brendan had been there. If she hadn't, the world would not be able to contain my bile. And it did seem like she wanted Brendan to go and see him as well.

Bless.

Ardluck, I don't think we have to worry too much about Bryan casting for looks rather than ability. He made some great finds during his last period at Hollyoaks.

I LOVE grey, but I have to be honest receeding doesn't do a lot for me...at least it didnt before Emmett.
I really want a conversation between Brendan and Ste where Ste teases him for going grey hehe itd be beautiful.

Aww, brilliant. Poor wee lad. Man, I mean man. He's tougher than he looks.

Happy new thread everyone

What can I say about tonight that hasn't already been said, nowt, so I'll just say STE WANTS BRENDAN I really hope the next couple of weeks whizzes by, cos I am so looking forward to Decisions/Dublin/Declarations. The love was just so real on both sides tonight.

I reckon Ste has a bit of a daddy fetish, you know. I only read one fic where Brendan gets glasses and Ste really likes it, but I don't remember who wrote it. Which is sad, because it was good.

Yeah I think that 'lucky' was a slightly bad line choice. If anything Ste was the unluckiest person that survived the wedding.


I do agree, I think mostly Doug was lovely to Ste that episode, it was just Ste's reactions to him that had changed. The straw bit was really sweet actually! But I agree that some of the reason he wouldn't discuss the wedding was about his paranoia at Ste remembering, particularly when Ste asked if they had been together when it happened.
BIB: Aww poor Ste

He's struggling to form any coherent thoughts except the thought of Brendan.
