I'd love this. I have a secret fantasy where Ste kills for Brendan. And I say secret to avoid being laughed at because it's so unlikely.

Agreed. I imagine they'll bring Walker back for Brendans demise and they'll be some crazy shiz going down. And they'll both die. Because I think Walker deserves to be killed off and what better time than to do it at the same time as Brendan, the man who made him who he is today.

Is it bad that I now want Brendan to die so that they can't do what they're doing with John Paul in the future?

BIB Yes, even when he was a prostitute-hiring married sleaze, he was far more interesting than he needed to be, and that's down to Joe.

I think I would die if that actually happened. Like, outright flail and die and my heart monitor would explode and I would die happy in a cloud of sparks. *sigh* Yes, I stand by my last post verily much.

What do you mean?

Is Daddy Paddy, the disciplinarian head teacher, gay? Go hug him, Dougie, and find out.

Well, I'm not a fan of them, But McDean got their nice sunset ending and now that they're bringing JP back, it just means it all went to pot.

I don't want that for my boys . I like to think that once they reunite, that is it. There is no-one else..... Ever.

ETA - So if one of them dies, they would have to move on at some point. I dislike the idea of them splitting.

See I've always thought that maybe the loving of Paul was made easier if you didn't really like Lynsey...I really loved her and thought Karen was great so maybe that's why I can't like Paul...

I like to think of this as Doug's test.

He could melt Patrick's frosty heart.

Or get disciplined. Either or.

Yeah I'm not a Mercy fan because they overuse her but Paul made me like her all over again. I do adore the McQueen's generally.

Aw don't worry about me! I've dealt with it a looong time, I have no issue with it. People have their reasons and I have to respect that and I like you all too much to get too bent out of shape over it


I really can't wait till they bring him back

Aw I know, things will definitely improve when he's given his own stories again

He always will be Brendan's, just the way it is. It's not really a Brendan issue I have with Stug anyway, I doubt I'd have rooted for them much regardless. But then I've never seemed to think anyone's right for Doug (except those he didn't get with, like Lynsey or Ethan )

I think we're screwed either way because Ste will be around when Brendan's not.

I do hope BK has a big story for JP though to justify this return and he's not going to be here and then disappear into the background.

I loved Lynsey and Paul...

Oh and also. If they do go down the route of hooking Doug and JP up, Doug will forever be known as the OTP ruiner.

Paul is awful but Joe Thompson..i'd ride him like seabiscuit

Oh I know. But I'd just rather Brendan were dead and Ste were alone, than for Brendan to leave him. Cruel? I don't care haha.

Warren 'died'. Nothing's sacred in soapland.

Brendan and Walker both deserve to die. They are awful (fascinating) people who wreck lives. Brendan more so than Walker, in fact.

Love them.

BIB Oh good....If it was me I would cry myself to sleep every night...

I always shipped Doug with either Lynsey or Riley and now they are both dead...*must stop shipping Doug with people*

Well aren't you special

I shipped Doug with Ethan.

Post of the day!!!

Um...

Me too.

Who didn't

ETS: Okay I was wrong about the Paul Lynsey thing...can we move on from here ...please...

I hope you are kidding

It's your fault


Why yes, yes I am

He'll have issues!

For me, it's how fast they have him move on. Like Mercedes/Malachy/Riley was way too fast.

True story..I have the gift..a murderous gift...
