I don't think he'll go as far as touch them/molest them, but he's definitely gonna threaten them at least. I'm already bracing myself for the inevitable "Steven's children are so pretty, they remind me of you when you were little..." scene *vomits*
Oh, ugh. I can really see that happening. This is going to be a tough watch. But amazing.

Well I'm glad that we're meant to be confused by all this.

Nothing has made so little sense in a long time, even Ste marrying Doug made more sense than this
I just don't even know where to start really. It's obviously all meant to hinge on the fact that Brendan does the punch deliberately, so that somehow makes it all fine. I honestly think they've taken leave of their senses with this punch. But they've done it now. They can answer for it.

I know just annoys me haha.
I actually dont like how any of that article is written or that husband is written in quotation marks. I dont even know.

Keebro better be hilarious today and I want lots of Kierons amazing singing to cheer up my miserable week.

It's not the same but like the Brendan/Walker sex scene not everyone will see this in the same light so they better have some explanations ready

I guess maybe they use the quote marks because technically, they are civil partners, not husbands. But it does smack of discrimination, yes. Most people just accept it as a form of marriage, no different to hetero, except under the law.

I doubt it dodi. I think being a horrible abuser is probably enough. But who knows?

No, no idea how long it's been since Brendan saw Pa last.

Do we think KeeBro is live today? If it is and we can ring in, rest assured I'm going to try

Totally agree - it'd be a great story for Ste, but even better with Amy in the mix. Something tells me they won't get her back again though. She already took a long break with the post-natal depression story, then was due to leave Xmas 2010 and got tempted back. Unless ASD doesn't mind coming back occasionally as a recurring character, or for a one-off?
Well maybe ASD would be willing to come back for a few episodes. It just seems odd to introduce this story without her around. Billy can't just take Leah, Amy's her mother and we don't even know if Ste's on the birth certificate.

Dodi are you asking if Pa will murder Brendan?
I will forever hate hollyoaks if they did that. The storyline is about Brendan facing up to his dad etc.
So no I don't think will happen. Hope Pa dies though, slow and painfully being my preference

We're obviously going to get a scene with Brendan distraught over what he has had to do or maybe telling someone why he did it and we're all meant to go 'oooo, I get it now' but I just don't understand it. Why would the fact that Brendan did it to push him away make it any better? Surely even in Brendan's f*cked up head that's a rather stupid think to do. I'm glad they aren't making him completely violent again, but why even do this at all?

But that was blatantly clear to me. Walker initiated it. End of story. There was never a second's doubt in my mind about what was happening, or why.

With this punch, they are playing OMG games with it. OMG, Brendan punched Ste! Oh, it's OK, he did it deliberately! I think it's really iffy, to be honest.

See, we might get a regret scene, yes, where he spills out his heart to Cheryl. But what difference does that make, really? Abusers are often sorry afterwards, and cry. Brendan cried the first time he hit Ste 2 years ago.

But I'm not going to hurt my head over this before it hits the screen. They'll have to be very clever to pull this off without making Brendan look like he's reverted. I hope they do.

I really dont understand why they didnt wait for this Billy storyline. It would be good for next year once Ste's got used to Brendan not being around and doesn't have his own storyline.

Leah might even not know Ste's not het real dad even though they don't have the same surname but she's like 5 might not understand etc etc?

It just feels rushed, a quick ploy to make Ste go to America.

I also love how he decodes to go to America to get the kids away from Billy but ends up flying to Dublin and leaving Leah in the village where Billy can find her.

WTF hollyoaks??



Also, no I dont think Keebros live. Wish it was every week though

I'm starting to wonder if the punch is supposed to be viewed in the same way as killing Nana. Except I'm not entirely sure how we were supposed to view that

What I mean is we're meant to remember Brendan's incredibly messed up and making bad choices and in his mind he thinks this is what he has to do, how he has to 'sacrifice' but really it's not.

Am I making sense?

Yeah, exactly. Nothing they do will make this any better but I've either got to accept it or walk away and I'm pretty sure we all know which one of those choices I'm going to take.

I think this would of been a tiny bit better if they hadn't of made them kiss either. Why would Brendan be ok to kiss him, then lash out after the kiss? I just can't get my head around any of this.

Okay let me explain that a bit better

We aren't supposed to think Brendan's done the right thing with the punch, like we weren't supposed to think he did the right thing with Nana. It was dark and horrible but we understood the motivations.

My head hurts trying to make sense of it

Yes, you make total sense. I'm sure that's what the show are getting at, that in Brendan's messy head, this seems like the thing to do.

I guess I just have real problems with it. And I don't see why Ste would accept that. But it's happening, so I guess I have to literally roll with the punches.

I get ya, kind of
He's just doing what he thinks is right for Ste, that Brendan is bad news and Ste would have a better life in America with Doug. And,he thinks letting Ste go would be best for him in the long run. Silly man..

The kiss makes it worse I dunno I suppose it could be Brendan knows he has to push him away but needs one last kiss cause he thinks he'll never get it again.
Either way this whole situation is shit are we meant to be rooting for Stendan, not that it matters but still

I'm actually annoyed about the kiss. Ruined their whole reunion for me. I wanted their first kiss on the bridge, publicly. Beautiful lights on the bridge and them kissing
But no, the kiss I've waited like 16 months for is coming straight before a punch.
Nice one hollyoaks, nice one

Oh phew

I'm sure Cheryl will tell him he's an idiot (let's hope) and Ste will do the same. But yes I have serious problems with it as well. They're really going to have to work hard to make us believe Ste going back to him is a good thing.

I get ya, kind of

See when I first heard of it though I thought how ridiculous it all is. How can Brendan justify to himself that he's doing the right thing keeping Ste away from him when he's doing the very thing that's the reason Ste must?

From that star article it definitely sounds like Brendan actually might also admit to some feelings before the punch with the heart to heart stuff so yes I imagine this is exactly how its meant to be viewed.

He wants Ste to hate him, words wont do it, he has a foolproof way he knows will work, make it look like he hasnt changed. he knows Ste will move to America faster than ever if he hits him so does it.

Its incredibly foolish and it does show just how messed up Brendans is so from his side it actually makes stupid sense.

Its Stes side thats the issue, just why in gods name would he go back there. Why do both Cheryl and Doug push for this too even after the punch. I mean Doug could say look I wont be second best but he doesnt just do that, he buys a ticket for someone he loves to go back to someone who just hit him. Thats the tricky side for me not Brendans

I think Brendan kisses him because he has no self control when it comes to Ste, he can't resist him even though he wants to, and by punching him he thinks that Ste will walk away from him for good and he won't have to resist him anymore.

Yeah I;m interested to see how Cheryl and to an extent(because he buys him the ticket) Doug excuse Brendan's actions. There's no way they can't find out he's hit him. All very odd but i guess that's just another part of the puzzle we don't know yet.
