Ste/Amy have ‘Steamy’ as their portmanteau.
That in itself is just brilliant.
“Tension rises between the pair as they both face big decisions over what they really want. A heated argument takes a surprising turn as they share a kiss.” (X)
Oh Stuggie. Can Brendan please be looking in from an open window, watching this? His reaction will be immense.

PJ Brennan: ‘Doug’s feelings for Ste are very strong’
Hollyoaks star PJ Brennan has promised that there is a long journey ahead for his character Doug Carter as he wrestles with his feelings for Ste Hay.
The pair have been getting along well while launching a deli business together this year, but viewers recently saw that Doug was starting to regard Ste as more than just a friend.
Brennan, discussing the storyline for the first time, told All About Soap: “He doesn’t really understand where these feelings for Ste have come from - they’re completely alien to him. All Doug knows is that it’s very strong and real. This is not a gay storyline - it’s exploring sexuality in general.”
Doug finally confesses his feelings to Ste next month, but it’s clear that he is still unsure about what he wants.
Brennan continued: “Doug tries to take back his feelings, because he thinks that’s what Ste wants. But Ste is also coming to the realisation that he may feel the same way about Doug. It leads to a big argument and they end up sharing one of those, ‘Oh shut up’ kisses. You definitely can’t take that back!”
Asked whether Doug is ready for a relationship with a man, he replied: “No, I think there’s a lot that needs to be worked out first. Over the next few weeks, viewers will see him trying to get to grips with what’s happened. Doug is quite hard on himself, so this is going to be a huge journey for him. He’s about to be forced to work out exactly what it is that he wants.”
Brennan also warned that there will be “trouble for everyone” when Ste’s ex-lover Brendan Brady (Emmett Scanlan) inevitably finds out about the surprising developments.

Now that I’m trying to continue my ‘Held Captive’ series, I thought I’d just post all my Stendan fics here, more for my own record than anything. Damn, I’d written more than I realised! Those boys, they take over my life…
- Green-Eyed Monster (NC-17)
- Seeing a Ghost (G)
- The Walking Dead (NC-17)
- A Night Out (PG-13)
- Ties that Bind (PG-13)
- Held Captive | 2 | 3 (R/NC-17)
m0ckingjade asked: I just read your Stendan post and it was wonderful. I wish I had your optimism, I really do :(
Oh honey! I honestly do think Stendan is too important a fan base for the writers to ignore. They always relished pandering to us Stendan fans before. They just want to string us along a bit more for prolonged ratings. They’re well aware they have liquid gold with Emmett and Kieron. They also always said Ste would have a love interest. We all assumed Ally! I think Doug being an important character in his own right is worrying people but I honestly think Doug’s another chapter to the Stendan story.
- Stendan is my ship. It always will be. I don't know what will happen with Stug but I love both Ste and Doug and am open to the storyline. They're both adorable and more screen time is a win for me.
- Maybe I have too much faith in the HO writers but I implicitly believe Stendan will be end game. They know how much pull they have, just like they knew with McDean and those two took years to get their sunset ending.
- Brendan as he is now is still not stable enough to be with Ste. I'm hopeful this storyline, with Ste growing (both career and relationship wise) will be the catalyst for Brendan to get his act together. Only something big like genuinely thinking he's lost Ste will give him the kick up the backside he needs. No matter how sweet Stug are, Stendan have fire. I don't see them ever burning out, which the writers themselves have conceded.
- Also? Brendan is deeply involved in this storyline because he gave Doug the money so you know he'll be in the mix. Another point - jealous!Brendan makes my life.
- I can see why some people are gutted but I'm going to be an optimist and see how this plays out. This could go in so many different ways. And the three best characters in HO are interacting. It might turn out to be the storyline that finally gets Stendan together.
Now that we’re apparently making Doug bi, can we have a Stenglas threeway? Please?
After all these months of Brendan shoving Doug up against walls, it’s only fair.
