Aren't you a Stendan shipper, lulu? I'm not a very active member so am a little clueless about some things
No. I don't really get the concept of 'shipping'. I'm all about Brendan.

Ste is inevitably involved with Seamus. He knows about Brendan's violent past - albeit not the full story yet and now he's his boyfriend. It'd be weird if he wasn't?!

So many lovely smiles mojo, they are just all over the place.

I don't see the point in arguing about it anymore, people are entitled to their views and all that but since I don't agree with them, and I can't see either them or us changing our minds anytime soon, it seems like a very pointless exercise even discussing it.
Agreed. Lets just take and enjoy from this Storyline what we will.

Okay my bringing that up wasn't to cause any problems, I just wanted lulu's opinion on it from a different perspective.

You're right, ally. I've been avoiding other places. It really drained me reading all that and I'm just not interested in seeing it.

That's fine, I agree it is pointless. But I am still a fan of Brendan, so feel reasonably entitled to look at his Appreciation thread from time to time.

It's not pleasant to know that you are being indirectly criticised and attacked for not seeing, or enjoying, his SL in the same way that most of you do. I don't understand why seeing an alternative opinion makes people feel so threatened or angry.

ETA: Sorry Ally if you weren't referring to anything that's been said in the main thread, as is usually the case.

Hallo!
God, being in this fandom is such a joy at the moment
Kieron's interview was almost better than Emmett's, I love that our original captain is back
The Kimmett/Bronagh pic is adorable.
God, I'm so happy

Oh I so agree. It's the best time. So much fun.

But dammit I want the last two eps in HD. I have things to make but they need to be in HD

You didn't do anything wrong. We are all here because we like Brendan. Other than that, we won't necessarily have the same opinions on everything, and that's OK, is it not?

No one's doing that here, Bluebird. I'm sorry you feel that way. I was just talking to lulu, that's all.

I think ally was referring to those who dislike Brendan as well. Opinions that I'd rather not read, and nor would the rest of us. It's a happy time, let's leave it there.

ETA: Thank you, lulu. Exactly

Of course you are entitled to look on here and post on here and if I had meant you in my posts I hope I would have had the courtesy to talk to you directly.

I hope you know me well enough to realise that I wouldn't back off from talking directly to you.

I'm beyond thrilled Ste's involved, it is about Brendan's past and his life and Cheryl but because of what Pa did to Brendan he ruined a lot of his life and since Brendan loves Ste he also caused them vital problems for years without even being around. Surely as well as Brendan Ste needs to be there to finally understand and help Brendan get past it. He's the surprise person in Brendan's life that made him want to change and in a way to Pa that may be dangerous because he'll lose his hold over Brendan as Ste is able to draw him towards him (in a good saving way). Ste's a threat to Pa IMO

The fact Stendan get coupley stuff throughout this is a bonus to me.

Thanks Ally I did edit my last post, maybe you didn't see it, to say that I thought people were discussing things that had been said in the main HOs thread,

Yes, I know that you will normally respond directly to people, and I appreciate that. Sorry for any misunderstanding

There you go Laura, he said he would see #hollyoaks next year.

We can stop worrying for a little bit longer.

ETA No I didn't see it but no problems Bluebird I'm always getting the wrong end of the stick myself, famous for it.

I wonder if he'll go back to Ireland with Kayla

If Kieron and Bronagh are going to New York does that mean this is the last KeeBro until after Christmas?

Oh I know Mojo That's why I'm sticking to 245x140 gifs at the moment

Hell yeah gurl

It's great, isn't it? There's so much to enjoy right now.
I've never seen anything like this. Stendan are beautiful and perfect and everything I ever wanted them to be, Kimmett are shippy and are working together a lot, spoilers sound great and there's lots of good stuff coming. Even the writers/producers love our boys
It's got to the point where I can't even write fanfics anymore because I don't want to ruin canon

Hanni

What did you make of last night's Ep??
I loved it, obviously *O* Like I said last night I thought it was utter perfection. Seamus is a pig and a bastard, Stendan's relationship is truly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, the dialogue is spot-on and even the music is perfect
I'm just so satisfied and happy I don't what else to add.

Well said love.. That is spot on! Brendan has actually found someone he loves and actually wants to change for x

Yeah I agree. To be honest I think people who watch the show and possibly even the actors who work with Emmett know that Brendan is, like it or not, the star of the show. People who like him absolutely love him and people who don't like him love to hate him. No matter if you like Brendan or not, the truth is that he's completely fascinating to watch- whether you think it's for good or bad reasons. Even Kieron has acknowledged that the thing he likes about working with Emmett is that he gets to be in lots of episodes, because Brendan is popular and people want to watch because of him. I do reckon other actors in the show think this as well, it's kind of hard not to when he's been given such absolutely gold dust material and he's not been around as long as some of the other cast members. I was completely pulled in by Brendan (and I had previously openly loathed Hollyoaks)...took a lot of explaining to my flat mates over why I'd suddenly started watching it when I'd previously just slandered it! I think the thing that made me like Brendan though was I was curious about him. He was very strange and I watched on because I wanted to decide if I actually liked him or not...it wasn't love at first sight! Now the things that I started off thinking were weird about him are the things I love about him. He was never a sociopath, which is something I always found strange when they described him as that. I think in the beginning he was portrayed to be like that, but as soon as they started making him care about Ste he stopped being a sociopath.

P.S. I just re-watched the pub scene....God that is some seriously poignant stuff.

BH
Great post BH. Glad I'm not the only one who slandered HO and then suddenly got pulled in by it! I still 'don't like' HO and most of its storylines very much but I do prefer it to other soaps and think some of the HO actors are better than many actors/actresses on other soaps - HO doesn't deserve the bad rap all the time!
I so dislike all the 'evil Brendan', 'sociopath Brendan' comments that are stillll going around. I feel it's obvious from viewing, even from the beginning, that he's more caring (about his select circle) than any other character. I understand that it's HO initially marketing things that way but why not market him as a tormented character? Or.. is it better for us as fans and as a story that he's turned from portrayed sociopath into this caring lovely Brendan? I'm not really sure of the answer. All I know is he was always too caring and emotional to ever be sociopathic. Even when he killed Danny. The most scary I've ever seen him was when he was cutting up the body in Later.

the interview was brilliant and yes this fandom is brilliant though
I'm glad we have our little community so we can share the joy but also the pain (especially about the awful and vile seamus)
