HG75 - I'm absolutely giddy at the anticipation. Macari - Ste, the lovesick puppy was cute for awhile, but I just couldn't stomach seeing him constantly being hit on the nose all the time, because he didn't" fetch" fast enough.

Poor Doug but at least he did the right thing and came clean. Ever since Doug agreed to the deal with the devil I have been worried that it would have come back to bite him in the ass. But at least that is out in the open. Ste was pissed when Doug told him but it would have been ten times worse if he had heard it from Mr. Mustache.

LOL, man, I’m sure I’m in the minority, but it’s amazing how Brendan can sometimes unintentionally make me laugh. Rather quickly after I started watching him, it’s been half the time annoyance, half the time utter inability to take him seriously with the always unmistakable head bobbing and mumbling and strutting. Instead of feeling the doom and danger announced by the ominous music and all, I was divided between rolling my eyes and chuckling endlessly. Unintended viewing reactions are really the best. ;D You're not the only one! I agree with you, scissorknot. It is better for both Doug and Ste that Doug spit it out about the money. This way Brendan doesn't have an hold over their relationship (well, they're not in a relationship right now..) and Doug can try and win Ste back because he knows he's been honest and Ste can forgive him. And for Ste because, even if now he thinks Doug is the same as Brendan, he will come to the realization that it isn't true and that Doug was honest despite risking to lose him. The only I see who won't win this "battle" is Brendan, actually. Ste's reaction was pretty harsh, even Doug could see how much Ste was hurt by the news and how much he hated the fact that he still owed Brendan, that he (once again) couldn't get rid of him controlling his life. I think in that moment Doug realized he screwed up big time, even if he did it for Ste.

I think Ste compared Doug to Brendan in the heat of the moment. I hope that, after he calms down a bit, he'll realize how different Doug is. But I do understand why Ste was so upset and angry, and why he thought that in that moment. That's right. I believe Ste's anger has clouded his rational thinking. If Doug is as manipulative as Brendan and wants to control Ste, he wouldn't have come clean with him about the loan from Brendan. I believe Ste will see how much Doug wants to the person beside him through the journey to his success in his life. I should go back and watch the scenes leading up to Doug getting the money from Brendan; I expect Doug got the money any way he could entirely for Ste's benefit. It's unfortunate that Doug made that choice. Ste said today that he thinks Doug should know what Brendan is like. I think that nobody understands Brendan as well as Ste does. That's true. Maybe Cheryl do understand Brendan at a certain extent. I think she pretty well know why Brendan is like that anyway. It's funny to think at that point of time when Doug is trying all his means to get the money, it wasn't so clear then that he is doing entirely for Ste. But now, it seems that unawarely, he has already developed the feelings for Ste then and wants to prevent Ste from being disappointed. But actually come think about it, Doug DID NOT accept Brendan's money as he eventually he underbid, which caused them to lose the deli. It was Brendan who threatened the agent to cancel the deal with Tony. Yes, Doug is aware where the money comes from but I wouldn't call it that he accepted the money on his part per se. Just watched the episode... good for Doug for admitting the truth,, he needed to even though pyscho manipulative Brendan expected Doug to tell Ste hoping that would break up the new couple. Emmet is so good at playing Brendan and he did great again today but this is what obsessed Stendan fans want,, this Brendan,, unchanged,, unrepentant.. manipulative.. obsessed with control.. for Ste. I don't think that Brendan feels that Doug has it in him to admit the truth. What I got from that scene was Brendan threatening Doug with the knowledge that he, Brendan is still holding all the cards and pulling the strings of Stephen Hay and that he's still a major obstacle for Ste and Doug's happiness. He doesn't see Doug as much of anything, other than a "bit limp" thing that Ste's using to keep him from Brendan. Personally I think Brendan's intentions is to threaten Doug (until Doug gives in and gives up on Ste), but somehow he half expected that Doug will take the bait and come clean with Ste. I believe he does not want to be the one to do the "dirty job" - teling Ste about the loan. I bet he knows eventually when Ste learns of the truth, Ste will break up with Doug. So why not have Doug do the honour. But little did he know that, by doing that, he is giving Doug a chance to be honest with Ste. Yes, Brendan did get the results he want, but I doubt it will be a permanent one.

Call me crazy, replace the doll with a real kid, and they look like a happy family. LOL! I forgot to mention, I love it when they showed the drawing of Ste's kid, which shows Doug and Ste. This show the kid loves Doug (who doesn't??). But weird that there is no Amy in the picture.

I think the kids have grown to like Doug, because both their parents like him. Remember, Amy never wanted the kids around Brendan. Thanks for the screen cap . Love them.

Regarding this gif, that's the only moment I didn't like that much about the episode... I know it's Brendan we're talking about but Doug shouldn't care who sees him and Ste kissing, or shouldn't be afraid to kiss Ste even if Brendan is watching and is jealous.

That was adorable, I'm planning to gif it when we get the HD version from AL's YT Channel, I couldn't read if it said Doug and Daddy or Daddy and Daddy, though. [Opp okay, pretty sure it's Doug and Daddy, SO cute and precious though.]

This is the picture I am talking about. Should be done by Leah since Lucas is only 3 years old. It's like Doug is protecting Ste from Brendan. LOL.

Oh, sweet! Thanks for the picture harmonium. From my pc I couldn't see there were Doug and Daddy written above the knights.
LOL! Hilarious, including the name of Brendan under the dragon. ;D

You know kids have a funny way of expressing their true feelings about things, situations and people in their drawings. ;D

Since today was a horrible day for me, you know one of those "you'd rather not doing anything so that you can't make mistakes" kind of days...
I decided I'll just close up in my own world and wait for tonight's episode, which I already know it will be terrific and very well acted. In the mean time, just to cheer me up a little, I'll be watching Stug's storyline from the beginning when Ste and Doug didn't even like each other that much, because I already loved them at that time.

Hope your day will get better! Don't forget this one: always a good one to cheer you up. ;D OMG! I didn't know PJ did such scenes. LOL! I knew he has done partial-nude scenes before, but I always thought it's just frontal with his pee-wee covered. Didn't expect him to do nude from the rear. LOL! Actually come to think of it, Hollyoaks like to do male rear nudity. I don't remember seeing the female actresses doing that. ila Hope you will feel fine eventually. Tomorrow is a better day.

Thanks, mycatfox and amber! Hope your day will get better! Don't forget this one: always a good one to cheer you up. ;D That clip did cheer me up! I'm gonna save it in my favorites! ;D I thought Doug got naked whenhe ran through the village with another guy. I didn't know he also stripped in front of Theresa and the other girl, he must be a really good friend.
