Which episode is this picture taken from? Is it the one at Tony's apartment? (You know the one after the "he doesn't love you" "and you do, do you?" episode)

And I always love this part, Texas's forced expression and Doug's "WTH was I thinking?" expression after that. I do not know why but his reaction in the second one is making me giggle like a little kid.

Ugh. The ruination of this character is just sad and likely never to be fixed. I hope he goes. I never completely got the "turning gay will ruin a character" crap until Doug. They took a relatively popular character and made him a hate figure.

Well, since all the viewers that hate the character will probably go away with Brendan Brady's departure (which has been in the cards SINCE the character began), why should TPTB get rid of Doug, due to Smithwick's need to appease those fans?

If Ste is still around some of those fans will still be around. Even if Ste goes too, Doug's already marked. Kieron is still trashed, 4 years later, by fans. Doug has no chance. As soon as he came between another sexy, hot rib crushing, he was dead.

Why should or would HOL base what they do or cast on those fans?

Most of the Doug hate come from the need to blame anyone but Brendan for the reason why Ste and Brendan are not together, a lot of people still like Doug and Stug have a good fan base don't let one forum shape your pov and even there a lot of people are finally speaking up against the unnecessary Doug hate. Compare to Rae and Noah, Doug is doing well. I don't see why the show should lose a good character and a good actor because of one group of fans. While the character may never be loved by all, no character is a good storyline can change opinions.

As soon as he came between another sexy, hot rib crushing, he was dead. No, Stendan fans are basically fans of BB. In fact there's no reason why a Ste fan want Stendan to happen, why someone who likes Ste will want him to come back to his abuser? Characters on soaps change their behaviour a lot of times, and i don't think Doug is dammed, he didn't do anything beyond repair (in fact he is very far from the beloved Brendan), and PJ is a very charming actor. Maybe some people hate Doug, but from the love triangle, Doug is the only character i can stand right now

Does anyone know when Doug is coming back? I'm guessing from when they shot the Dublin scenes and them airing this week maybe we will see his lovely face by the end of January or at least mid February. I can't wait for the scene when Ste and him see each other for the first time after all this!!

No word yet, exactly. I haven't seen any articles or interviews about PJ leaving the show, so I would guess he'll be back in a month or two. You can keep an eye on the spoiler and spoiler discussion threads for more .

There has been photos of him in the HO green room ,they have been removed since, and a few tweets about him being at Lime. so if true he could be back by mid Jan

Thanks for the article.
It's funny, I realize that I've developed such a protectiveness for Doug as a character in a manner that's not common for me - not really pity or empathy, but just protectiveness - and I think it's sort of trickled down onto PJ in a way, which reading this piece sort of confirmed to me. It's also refreshing to see this kind of honesty both in regards to his craft and himself as an individual. I truly, really want the best for Doug and PJ, and as for the former, none of the current options on the show, including those spoiled, are it IMO.
