I went to see the E4 poll about who Ste should choose... most people are still in favor of Stendan, apparently. I would have thought otherwise, honestly!!! I was a bit surprised! I used to ship Ste and Brandon too, but not anymore, since I don't really believe in Brendan's love for Ste anymore, and I don't see him ever changing. Many shippers are loyal, though! When I went on there I was expecting a 80 to 20 percentage in favor of Stendan. But it's kinda close. Shows that both have a pretty good fanbase.

Especially if yoi consider that Stendan has been going on for years now, Stug has had barely 2 months. It surely has the potential to become something huge ;D

I don't understand why there needs to be an explanation or qualification when a man cries. I mean John Paul cried in every episode and no one ever questioned his manliness and Craig wasn't exactly Mr. Stiff Upper Lip. I think it's refreshing to see a character (male or female) who is brave enough to put it all on the table with their feelings. People play so many games when it comes to love and all it does is mess things up. Totally Agree. I've been wondering the same lately. I suspect that if Brendan wasn't in the picture, the fact that Doug cried wouldn't be such an issue

I don't care as long as Ste, Doug, their characters as individuals, their business and their pairing are developed onscreen, then coming on top of a poll is meaningless. Absolutely meaningless.

I've never watched that many clips about HO and Brendan in general, but is he always that..touchy? There's a gif of him and Doug where I swear it looks like he's gonna kiss him, he's standing a breath away from his face I think Brendan likes to get really close to people just to put them off balance (since most people don't do that). Perhaps in some cases to intimidate. I guess I see it as his way of trying to have the upper hand in any situation.

John Paul and Craig cried all the time. Kieron (STILL miss him) had the crying bug too. I think HO likes the gay boys to weep.

I am absolutlely LOVING this storyline! PJ and Kieron are fantastic together and I even enjoyed Emmet Scanlan's performance so far (I usually find him way too over the top).
I love how high the stakes are for Ste. He wants to be in control of his life but Brendan the master manipulator has put Ste again in the place of being coerced and told what to do. Excited to see if Ste can turn this around to his favor without completely losing Doug in the process.
One scene I found fascinating a couple episodes ago:
When the McQueen sisters found out Doug was gay, there was not one mention of John Paul! This would have been a great acknowledgment of the past but I guess the show didn't want to go there. Curious.

Yes, there was a mention... in the episode after Ste and Doug first get together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqM4Iboah54&feature=relmfu

I really liked the episode.. Ste is playing a very dangerous game, I hope for his sake that he is up to it! Is it wrong for me to feel a little bad for Brendan at the end? I know, he totally deserves it and more. Still, I have a soft heart!

Great acting from all of them again. I´m just overwhelmed now... yay ;D No problem! ;D LOVED today's episode. Yes, I still have my issues with the pacing, but I didn't care today because Ste's letter was just so epic! Brendan's reaction was even better. I actually cheered when they showed his face. I actually didn't feel bad for him. He totally deserved it. He was so proud of himself about being able to win Ste back that I wanted to punch him in his smug face. Oh, and I have to add: I adore Texas! I always thought she was drop-dead gorgeous and sexy, but didn't think much of her character. Then she started making out with girls and suddenly I was interested. Now that's she being such a sweetheart and the best friend Doug truly needs, I think I may need to marry her.

I have to admit that, even if I knew Doug wouldn't have left at the end of the episode, I cried like a baby when he was packing his stuff and talking with Texas. Gosh, PJ is an amazing actor!
Loved every single word Ste wrote in that letter, particularly the last part when he revealed the love letter wasn't for Brendan but for Doug instead.
BTW, the expression Amy had when she saw Ste and Brendan kissing was priceless! ;D

I'm writing it because I'm happier than I've ever been. Your actions in the last few days have had a life changing effect on me, they've made me feel stronger than I've ever been before. you decided that u wanted me and you claimed me as your own. You shred every bit of selfrespect out of me until I didn't know who I was anymore. Do you know how long it takes to get over that? I started to wonder if that day would ever come. but it turn out, it's today. Like I said, this is a love letter. But it's not to you. You money s gone, you'll never gonna get it back. and that goes double for me. Steven*very proud of herself for having understood everything ;D*

Btw I LOVED Amy´s wtf-face when Ste was kissing Brendan ;D
Right now I don´t want to think about Brendan and a possible "revenge", a triangle, Stendan or anything like that... Finally there is happiness for Stug and I don´t care for how long (at least for now)... Ste loves Doug, Doug loves Ste, the debt is gone, they are free... and I´m happy, too lol
And speaking of cuteness overload... have you seen this video?
Make sure to watch until the end... I´m so in love with them ;D

I was not expecting a happy ending on this episode. I kind of thought that Doug's rash decision would be to leave but it still managed to kick me in the heart. Felt so bad for Doug because he felt that he could not stay there any more and then for Texas and his other friends because you know they were going to be devastated that he was gone. Also it seemed a little weird that Doug wasn't going to say goodbye to Riley. Maybe he thought that he wouldn't be able to do it if he had to face him. Saying goodbye to the best friend can be rather difficult. But the ending totally made up for the heart break. I apologize Hollyoaks for losing faith in you. You totally proved me wrong.

I guess she's so freakin' gorgeous everybody would want her ;D She's been so great with Doug, you can clearly see how much she loves him when she just zips up his bag and hugs him. Heartbreaking. And that video...Oh my, they snog even when they're off screen *Goes in her corner thinking dirty PJ/Kieron thoughts*
