Hi,

I have been asked to begin a new thread as the last post on the old thread was in 2009.

It's great to have Steven/Aaron back. He looks so different I thought it was a new guy at first.

There have been differing opinions on his new hairstyle. I personally don't like it as much. His hair was great back in 2007, but grew too long in 2008 and now it looks a bit strange.

I do worry though that they will find it difficult to come back from the bad writing of 2008. The stalking/kidnapping was great (storyline wise) and I accept the mental breakdown as an explanation for that. I also accept that the shooting of Jane was accidental but I didn't like him behaving like an attention seeking prat in trying to keep Lucy away and then trying to murder Pat in cold blood and then lying avout Christian. Steven going from a ladies man to gay at first seemed like bad writing but given that he was a virgin and he wasn't able to perform with Stacey when he tried to it's just about plausible

Ha - Ian can't complain now that Steven and Bobby are both as messed up as each other and out of the only two sane children he had only one is alive.

Hmm - Ben and Steven - that would be an interesting combination/situation. Ian's half brother dating his stepson and both as messed up as each other (though to be fair Ben has mellowed out a bit and possibly Steven may have too)

He looks great, there's something about the styling of him that makes me think he's going to come in in a bad boy vien. Be quite nice to see Ian's world made even worse if that is the case.

Love that he's back in EE again!

Has anyone seen the new spoiler picture of him? Whoa 😉

Personally, I love his hairstyle. It really suits him. He looked amazing at the BSA.

I'm slowly getting used to his new hair now.

I must say he has been very mature lately - not asking for forgiveness or acceptance but just doing what he can to help out and otherwise staying out of everyone's way. He could be a male fairy godmother only appearing to help people in trouble.

Loved his scenes tonight. He interacted with lots of characters. Favorite was when he was at Dot's sitting next to Kathy, and of course his scenes with Ian. Fantastic scene when Ian found out about him & Lauren. Wonder what he'll do now?

That was a bit harsh of Ian - throwing him out just for kissing Lauren. Still, I suppose he can stay at Dot's, although her council storyline seems to have been conveniently forgotten.

Steven has got me watching EastEnders again after a gap of a few months where I couldn't take it any longer!

However I am now hearing worrying rumours that Steven is only back for a few weeks... Can anyone confirm or deny if he is permanent? He and Johnny would be so hot together.

Second this.

I want Steven to put his hands down Johnny's trousers in full view of everyone in the Queen Vic and give him some deep snogs.

Imagine Linda's face.

Aaron is doing so well in the role. I really hope he's going to be a permanent character.

Filth!

I'm sure this wasn't what poor Lizzie had in mind when she created this thread.

Aaron Sidwell is a wonderful actor, and Steven is a great character. I've been waiting for his return for eight years, and now it's come, I couldn't be happier! I PRAY HE IS PERMANENT!

Having said that...

We need the scenes we've been waiting for! Spare us any kissing scenes between Steven and Lauren.

We want Steven getting it off with Johnny in numerous locations around the square. We also need Steven to turn Andy!

We'll devise our script together in private and then post all the sordid details for everyone to see in this thread.

I couldn't help feeling sorry for Steven yesterday when Ian disowned him just for being in a relationship with Lauren. The previous two times I understood because Steven did wrong (though Ian eventually acceted mental illness as a reason for it the first time) I think perhaps Lauren should have tactfully explained that she and Peter drifted apart and split up - she came back to help Max but Peter has chosen to stay on in New Zealand for a while because he would like sme space but Lauren hopes that Peter will eventually contact ian himself when he feels ready. Steven could then say truthfully that he offered to accompany lauren because he wants to make amends with his family and he grew close to Lauren in New Zealand.

I was surprised at Ian disowning Steven again as I never got the impression that he welcomed him back as a son this time - they were merely being polite to each other or trying to. While I understand Steven and Lauren's reasons for keeping their romance under wraps it may have been better if Lauren had found a way to tactfully break it to Ian and assure him that she and Steven will stay someplace else out of Ian's way. because Steven was bluntly honest about Peter's decision in a moment of anger Ian felt angry and hurt and it was easier to take his anger out on Steven because of their past history and the fact that there will always be trust issues with Steven - as Lauren is Max's daughter, Ian does not have the freedom to yell at her and throw her out like he did with Steven.

I felt so sorry for poor Steven when Ian threw him out on the street!

I can't believe how into EastEnders I have got again all because of him. He is such a brilliant character portrayed by a good (and gorgeous) actor.

I'm slowly getting used to the new look but he looked best back in 2007 imo - he was also charismatic back then;

Peter: So why didn't you call? Tell us you were coming back?
Steven: Tried a couple of times. Phone was engaged.

Steven: I'm sorry about all that stuff Lucy was saying.
Jane: oh it's not your fault.
Steven: Not much help though is it? All these faces turning up from the past. it's bound to upset her.
Jane: Steven, you're here because you care about your dad and I know things haven't been easy between you in the past but if he were here now, if he could see....
Steven; I'd better be going

Lizzie, would you rather that Steven continued to be in a relationship with Lauren, or that he ended up with Johnny or Andy?

Didn't Steven look hot as he munched on that toast? A full gob.

I preferred him later on in that grey top with his nipples poking through.

I wanted to pinch them. Hope he has one of them pierced.
