What I found so amazing about that scene was Doug admitting, essentially, that Ste is the purpose he's been searching for. That is a HUGE statement to make considering where Doug was last year and how lost he felt. That statement, to me, goes way beyond just a crush or attraction or even friendship...Doug is so in love with Ste. I just hope the writers don't throw this all away. See, that is why I don't think Stug is just a plot device to reunite Brendan and Ste. The writers have showed us that there are very deep feelings between Doug and Ste. What is the point in building such a strong relationship with Ste and Doug if their purpose was only to let Brendan be able to win Ste back? I think the writers know they have something big in their hands when it comes to Ste and Doug's relationship. As you said, penny it is a pretty big statement to have Doug say he found a purpose in his life thanks to Ste and his feelings for him. Too good to be just a bumb on the road for a Stendan reunion, IMO.

I'm sorry Penny, but I loved watching that scene of Doug crying his heart out over Ste. PJ was amazing in that scene. Oh, it was brilliant! PJ is brilliant! Just....those eyes! He's so expressive with them that when he cries, I cry.

It is a huge statement and something that Ste probably LONGED to hear from his ex, way back when Ste was willing to take any sort of behaviour from him, because of how much he loved him. Here's Doug, basically putting his heart out on a platter to Ste saying, "Here I am. I am yours. I want to be yours."

Riley, Texas, Leanne and Lynsey are awesome mates to Doug. "Don't Wait Around to be LOVED" should be marketed on t-shirts, posters, etc. Thank you so much for that. I have been trying to figure out what Lynsey said to Doug right then but with now luck. All I could get out of it was just "loved"

I have been trying to figure out what Lynsey said to Doug right then but with now luck. All I could get out of it was just "loved" No problem. I can understand most of the different accents on the show and I was so into the scene that what Lynsey said to Doug was exactly what he needed to hear. Between that and Doug putting on his "Smiley Face", HOL is really doing a wonderful think about being true and honest with who you are. That you can find some peace, joy and relief in being yourself and that you can be loved for who you are. Something totally crazy, but I love how Kieron pronounces Doug's name. Even when Ste's upset and yelling at Doug, Kieron's accent gets me me every time.

Argh, as the spoiler discussions been locked again, just I guess I can tell you the Stug segment was like, 2 minutes? And was adorable and lots of GPOYS from Carmel, but I wish we'd see more. Won't do my normal best lines from it because I don't want to spoiler y'all. Watch it, the two minutes are worth it.

So excited, can't wait. Please be careful about posting spoilers. If it hasn't yet happened on screen, it's a spoiler.

Here's today Stug video.
My thought: That was it?

I miss the McQueens and their brand of crazy.
Yes...that was it and it was way too short, but I liked that it wasn't made into this big deal by the show. That Ste and Doug are the same people, they're just a "proper couple".
Carmel is still the one who'll start up Chester's first Pride Parade to support everyone due to "their John Paul". Loved how truly happy she was over their news. ;D

Can somebody tell me the dialogue after Doug puts down the cake? right before the blonde woman goes 'are you together?' I can't get some words, no matter how many times I listen to it

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

As annoyed that I am, that Stug only had one minute. They are together as a happy couple, so I will forgive Hollyoaks considering all they had to fit into the episode. But hopefully they won't do it again.

Doug: a super special jubilee cake, fit for a McQueen Jackie(¿): Was that supposed to be funny, Doug? Doug: ..no...

Thanks =) Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard I try, I just can't get what they say due to their accents, some are so heavy! When's the spoiler discussion thread gonna reopen? I'm dying to write something about today related to the spoilers

You're welcome - although she really was mumbling (I had to play it twice and I'm English They are so cute together, even in that tiny little scene they actually looked like a couple!

I can't stop myself from watching the May 31st episode over and over again. It's perfection. I haven't felt this strongly about HOL in years.

It really is a perfect episode. It goes throw a very wide range of emotions and the kiss at the end wraps it up perfectly.

What I didn't get though is why Ste feels the need to tell everybody about them like he is 12 year old and wants everybody to know he has a boyfriend... He wanted Doug to not feel like they have to hide, but now that they've established that they are a couple is it necessary to go and announce it? I would have expected them to bask in their happy little bobble, and say yes we are a couple if anybody asked

I would have expected them to bask in their happy little bobble, and say yes we are a couple if anybody asked I had the same impression, sister . I really thought they'd keep their - very incipient- relationship almost like a secret, considering Doug is a newbie, and that they're also business partners. Add into the mix the potential menace that BB represents Maybe Ste wants (in a subconscious level) this relationship to be the opposite of the secretive one he shared with BB? Who knows

Maybe it was Ste really testing Doug to see if he was comfortable being open about the relationship, although considering we're not even sure they've actually sexed yet, it might have been a bit early - still they are soooo sweet together ^^
Has the spoiler discussion board been locked for this long before?

The way to get an answer about the spoiler thread is to send a private message directly to the moderator Zathras.

Guys, just. Go to PJBrennanFans on tumblr, just. GO FORTH. Spoiler alert if you do, though. But obviously I can't post them here, but if someone wants to message me when they've seen them so we can discuss them, please do because it's killing me not to be able to.
