i love supportive Ste is, like when seamus offers Brendan to shake his hand, Ste was shaking his head at Seamus, like "don't make brendan do that". And when Ste said "you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, okay?" while glaring at Seamus.
Oh god, the whole camping story ... Brendan must have been so afraid of his dad, this poor little kid who knew what would happen, with his dad alone in the woods, in a tent that he himself was supposed to set up. God, this makes me so sick.
so much love and gratitude in Brendan's eyes after Ste said "you don't have to do anything you don't want to do" ... Steven, I love you so much for loving our poor damaged boy!!!
I totally agree, you saw how Brendan face soften when he looked at Ste. it's like for the first time, everything he had to deal with his dad, someone was on his side. He had that reassurance and safety that he needed so long ago. maybe if he had it then it would have saved him. Ste is really that light at the end of the tunnel.
Joel looked a bit pleased with himself after outing Brendan at 4:23. Also, the looks on both Brendan's and Seamus's face, especially Seamus's at 4:20. This is deep.
Brendan's reaction to when ste says "you don't have to do anything if u don't want to, okay".He gulps & literally wants to cry out knowing ste understands him.Its only for a sec but really captivating.Thanks for uploading once again you're awesome:)
Ah, I am loving this storyline. As much as I would have enjoyed a few more days of blissful Stendan, this is soap drama done right. The US soaps could take a lesson from this - a couple doesn't need triangles and infidelities to keep them entertaining. This human drama is far more engaging and heartbreaking. Thanks so much for all your work posting, emmettscanlanfans. I am so hooked right now, your video popping up today was a joyous moment!
Oh, it's getting dangerous again around Brendan. Our bad boy is finally back. I'm sure Joel wont be able to kill Seamus and i'm really wondering what Ste will do, if he find out, what Seamus did to Brendan. I mean, Ste was a bad boy too in his past...
Brenden was not just "beat up" he was sexually, physicall and mentally abused by his father. Saying his childhood was a "little tramatic" is a sincere understatement. BTW, Doug is still in the opening of the show. He will be back eventually.
I am glad Brendan stood up to him in this episode. Seamus is trying to let himself look good in front of joel with the story but he didn't think Brendan would back talk him about it.
Ste. Emotionally astute, supportive Ste. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do." Those are words Brendan has needed to hear his entire life, and that they come from Ste just shows how much these two need each other. Cheryl SHOULD be the one saying it, but it's Ste. Also, Bren's look at Seamus when he sends Charlie on his way...FINALLY showing some backbone, like he's saying to Seamus, YOU KNOW WHY. And Seamus' reaction - totally guilty, and angre b/c of it. Great ep.
Think it's about time Cheryl put Brendan's feelings first. For such a close relationship they have she seems oblivious to how much Brendan suffers every time their father's mentioned or how he changes whenever he is in the same room as him.
if you look for hollyoaks later on this channel you can see the moment we find out. you just need to see the end of episode 5 while brendan talks with his nana
Cheryl cannot be anymore stupid, how can she believe that monster's story of Brendan "falling" from a tree? Does she not see how terrified he is of Seamus? How can she not see that Brendan has so many problems and maybe, just maybe, those problems could of stemmed from an abusive relationship with his father? I officially despise her character at the moment. Seamus is public enemy #1! And I hope Brendan can protect the little boy from his father's perverted fantasies.
Hoang Minh Trang - it hasn't been fully discussed on the show yet, but during Brenda's trip home during Hollyoaks Later, we were shown a glimpse into his abusive childhood. His gran said she knew about it and worried it "made him gay." Implying more than just beatings. While the only thing he has discussed in detail has been the physical abuse, the sexual abuse was heavily implied (and confirmed in multiple soap mag interviews).
How easily we forget that scamming Doug's parents was Ste's idea, not Doug's. Doug wanted no part of the money but Ste insisted, saying, "Why not take the money...after all, it was meant for you (Doug) when you got married!"
It was a great episode and you can tell that Ste is already sensing that something else went on besides the beatings, unlike the unbelievably clueless Cheryl.
I think "couldn't put up the tent properly" is actually an insinuation of what Brendan had to do to his dad; you know, like the idiom "pitch a tent"? If the writers actually intended the phrase to have a double meaning like that, I'll tip my hat to them...
Need help a bit again *-* Can someone pls tell me what Brendan saying after 00:40 as a relpy Ste during their conv.and just before turn joel 0:45 ????pretty please.... @emmettscanlanfans Thank you ,i didn^t think you were up to uploading, was worried, i am glad i was around :) And Happy New Year even it is late :),,You certainly made last year better ...
Someone tell Cheryl please. Her daddy routine is pissing me off. Seamus is a sick and vile man, he fucking looks it as well. UGH. Bless Ste, such a supportive boyfriend :(
I have been reading other comments but unfortunately I do not see Cheryl believing bad about her dad unless she hears/overhears the confession coming from him.
agreed, Amy even said it herself when he was framed for Rae's murder. she said he doesn't make any sense b/c Brendan doesn't hurt women. his Nan was a different case.
I don't think Cheryl is stupid, so much as caught in the same past as Brendan. I admit, I found it difficult to watch her smiling in approval as her dad told Brendan "I don't like that you're gay, but I guess I'm stuck with your depraved self." It defies all sense. But so does Brendan continuing to cower around an old man. His fear of his father is ingrained. And so is Cheryl's peacemaker role. She'd have to rewrite her entire image of her childhood to understand what is going on now.
the writing is excellent nd v impressive, Brendan doesnt want to have to kill his father, but youve no idea the pain he is put under seeing his dad back again. for brendan anyway its the only way, which as a viewer u need to accept
I haven't seen Joel in forever and the first words he speaks are something about the club, haha I think it's hilarious that he has nothing else to talk about. The club the club the club :) Seamus joyed to see Charlie and picking him up, yuck, he makes me sick. Ste's being so supportive it makes me happy. Cheryl believes everything she's told. Hey Cheryl there are these pink elephants in my neighborhood that fly *eye-roll*
A nice father and son bonding week end... why after watching the a couple of times did I get the feeling that Brendan was climbing to the top of the tree to escape his father abusing him? I am pretty certain Brendan has other reasons to remember the broken arm and busted lip!(thanks Hollyoaks writers for not showing us endless flashbacks of the incident!)
indeed. it's great drama. and also all this people saying doug was better than brendan, the only right thing he did it was giving ste the ticket to dublin. he was eager to put a friend of ste in jail after ste has told him expressly to do not, he also was ready to scam his family...a great boyfriend
Cheryl is oblivious of what's happening, it seems stupid of her to defend her dad without knowing the whole truth. Brendan is a sad case. No wonder he grew up to be a vicious man. But on the inside he's actually a good person but becos of rage, he didn't know how to control his emotions. I blame him bastard father for making him like this. Thank god Ste is there for him n support him. Like some people say, a person with dark past can't change overnight it takes years of endurance n dedication
So Brendan pays Joel more for his half of the club than it's worth, and the police won't figure out that the difference is for a hit job. You're probably right. No one else would buy half, so Brendan doesn't pay more.
I disagree, churst, I think they showed quite a bit to convey that Joel knew exactly what he was doing. The deliberately focused the camera on him listening in the background while Stendan discussed Seamus not knowing. Then he kept going at the club when it was obvious he had put his foot in it. Plus he admitted he did it in a fit of pique when confronted by Brendan. So yeah - he knew he was outing Brendan.
nice to see stendan as a couple ...I didnt get what ste said after "nobody needs a sugur on coffee ..I dont want you ....... what is the rest he is saying?
he told him that the day he went camping with hiis father there was no tree brendans dad beat him because he set up the tent the wrong way and that his dad beat him even before that so that was how he got a busted lip and broken arm :(. , i hope i helped :)
what exactly you don't care about? you can have an opinion but while you want to base it on a partial knowledge? the situation is clear so not only ste loves brendan more and understands him better because of that but also because brendan had a same childhood as ste's so he can relate to his difficulty, doug's problem wasn't a big deal compared to brendan's. and no, brendan doesn't kill anyone.
Oh thank God! Those Dublin episodes had me worried! Yay for Ste and Brendan blah, blah, but where is our hate-to-love-him bad boy? Good story line to follow their little happy-ever-after. Kinda looking forward to a reappearance of our Walker?
Oh my effin lord. Brendan will NEVER get to come out on his OWN TERMS!!! Everyone is always forcing him to, or just blurting it out without his permission. Like, he has no AGENCY in his own revelations. Goddammit, Joel. >.< I know it was accidental, but sheez. *facepalm*
you also show a lack of insight when you say brendan is afraid of his dad, he is not just afraid, he is disgusted, ashamed and probably the only sight of theman remembers him every terrible moment of his childhood moreover he keeps tormenting him. I really am not surprised brendan thought to kill him considering he is kind of gangster and his dad teached to solve everything with violence
"This time it was because I...couldn't put up the tent properly" I've been wondering if this was another lie to conceal the truth. I mean, as far as I know, Ste doesn't know about the sexual abuse, only the physical ones...
Chez irritates me to no end!!!!! After years of indifference between her brother and dad, has she ever bother to really find out why her brother hates their dad so much!? I just wish Brendan would tell Ste everything his disgusting dad did to him!!!! The truth has to come out!!!!
"I'm not ashamed of us Steven"
"The less that man knows about my life the happier I'm gonna be"
i love supportive Ste is, like when seamus offers Brendan to shake his hand, Ste was shaking his head at Seamus, like "don't make brendan do that".
And when Ste said "you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, okay?" while glaring at Seamus.
Oh god, the whole camping story ... Brendan must have been so afraid of his dad, this poor little kid who knew what would happen, with his dad alone in the woods, in a tent that he himself was supposed to set up. God, this makes me so sick.
Steven's face though when Brendan and Cheryl are fighting in the deli!! I died!!! 😜
so much love and gratitude in Brendan's eyes after Ste said "you don't have to do anything you don't want to do" ...
Steven, I love you so much for loving our poor damaged boy!!!
I totally agree, you saw how Brendan face soften when he looked at Ste. it's like for the first time, everything he had to deal with his dad, someone was on his side. He had that reassurance and safety that he needed so long ago. maybe if he had it then it would have saved him. Ste is really that light at the end of the tunnel.
*Joel runs his mouth*
Me- D8
Joel- What? He....didn't know?
Me- *facepalm*
Disaster is an understatment for that scene.
Joel looked a bit pleased with himself after outing Brendan at 4:23.
Also, the looks on both Brendan's and Seamus's face, especially Seamus's at 4:20. This is deep.
Brendan's reaction to when ste says "you don't have to do anything if u don't want to, okay".He gulps & literally wants to cry out knowing ste understands him.Its only for a sec but really captivating.Thanks for uploading once again you're awesome:)
Brendan's dad is the worst.
Ah, I am loving this storyline. As much as I would have enjoyed a few more days of blissful Stendan, this is soap drama done right.

Thanks so much for all your work posting, emmettscanlanfans. I am so hooked right now, your video popping up today was a joyous moment!
I HONESTLY THINK CHERYL IS DISGUSTING HOW CAN SHE DO THIS TO HER OWN BROTHER. SHE KNOWS THEY CANT GET ALONG WHY. SHES DESPICABLE
I think her heart is in the right place, and shw just wants her family to be together
Oh, it's getting dangerous again around Brendan. Our bad boy is finally back. I'm sure Joel wont be able to kill Seamus and i'm really wondering what Ste will do, if he find out, what Seamus did to Brendan. I mean, Ste was a bad boy too in his past...
Brendan loves Steven Always 💙💙
Brenden was not just "beat up" he was sexually, physicall and mentally abused by his father. Saying his childhood was a "little tramatic" is a sincere understatement. BTW, Doug is still in the opening of the show. He will be back eventually.
I am glad Brendan stood up to him in this episode. Seamus is trying to let himself look good in front of joel with the story but he didn't think Brendan would back talk him about it.
im so okay with brendans dad dead but I wish he would have no part in it cause shit like this always comes back and with sharp teeth
Another great perfomance from Emmett Scanlan.These past couple of years has been so enjoyable.BB has to go out on top.
It's really amazing seeing STENDAN together in a real relationship. I absolutely love it. They are just perfect :)!!
Thank you for the upload.
Ste. Emotionally astute, supportive Ste. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do." Those are words Brendan has needed to hear his entire life, and that they come from Ste just shows how much these two need each other. Cheryl SHOULD be the one saying it, but it's Ste.

Great ep.
perfect post. I'm baffled at the few people who can't see the difference between the two situations
Think it's about time Cheryl put Brendan's feelings first. For such a close relationship they have she seems oblivious to how much Brendan suffers every time their father's mentioned or how he changes whenever he is in the same room as him.
I feel emotional just simply thinking when Cheryl found out the truth. Cheryl opening your bloody eyes! not just literally.
I want everyone to know what a giant monster Seamus is !
if you look for hollyoaks later on this channel you can see the moment we find out. you just need to see the end of episode 5 while brendan talks with his nana
5:07 my jaw just dropped to the floor at these sights of Emmett:)
to paraphrase: Please, Brendan, let me batter Seamus.
hahah. We all want a piece of seamus, eh?
no, but Ste knows that the abuse was very bad. Beatings, broken arms. And that it lasted for years.
when your mind is messed up and the wrong seems like right, I guess it would be misplaced.
Cheryl cannot be anymore stupid, how can she believe that monster's story of Brendan "falling" from a tree? Does she not see how terrified he is of Seamus? How can she not see that Brendan has so many problems and maybe, just maybe, those problems could of stemmed from an abusive relationship with his father? I officially despise her character at the moment. Seamus is public enemy #1! And I hope Brendan can protect the little boy from his father's perverted fantasies.
crazy Brendan is back
thank you SOOO much ....really helped!
Maravilha 👏👏👏👏
Doug is coming back, He is still credited as a regular.
Hoang Minh Trang - it hasn't been fully discussed on the show yet, but during Brenda's trip home during Hollyoaks Later, we were shown a glimpse into his abusive childhood. His gran said she knew about it and worried it "made him gay." Implying more than just beatings.
While the only thing he has discussed in detail has been the physical abuse, the sexual abuse was heavily implied (and confirmed in multiple soap mag interviews).
How easily we forget that scamming Doug's parents was Ste's idea, not Doug's. Doug wanted no part of the money but Ste insisted, saying, "Why not take the money...after all, it was meant for you (Doug) when you got married!"
He was definitely hedging. He finished with a vague statement ... I think you can fill in the end of that answer to Ste.
They are half brother and sister. They were raised differently. He in Dublin and her in Belfast.
@iluvthadrama. I agree, they feel so comfortable together. Other than the whole Seamus issue, I have never seen Brendan or Ste happier.
It was a great episode and you can tell that Ste is already sensing that something else went on besides the beatings, unlike the unbelievably clueless Cheryl.
thank you :)
I think "couldn't put up the tent properly" is actually an insinuation of what Brendan had to do to his dad; you know, like the idiom "pitch a tent"? If the writers actually intended the phrase to have a double meaning like that, I'll tip my hat to them...
Whatever happened with Joel? I mean it's not his storyline but last time I saw him was when Theresa and him came back after they killed his stepdad
I know right, i think he enjoyed it abit, like getting back at brendan which I am not sure why since Brendan helped him get rid of his step dad.
Need help a bit again *-*
Can someone pls tell me what Brendan saying after 00:40 as a relpy Ste during their conv.and just before turn joel 0:45 ????pretty please....
@emmettscanlanfans Thank you ,i didn^t think you were up to uploading, was worried, i am glad i was around :) And Happy New Year even it is late :),,You certainly made last year better ...
Someone tell Cheryl please. Her daddy routine is pissing me off. Seamus is a sick and vile man, he fucking looks it as well. UGH. Bless Ste, such a supportive boyfriend :(
WHEN DO THEY TELL CHERYL
I have been reading other comments but unfortunately I do not see Cheryl believing bad about her dad unless she hears/overhears the confession coming from him.
agreed, Amy even said it herself when he was framed for Rae's murder. she said he doesn't make any sense b/c Brendan doesn't hurt women. his Nan was a different case.
ohhhhhh Dodger, Dodger, Dodger. You are cuuuute!!
I don't think Cheryl is stupid, so much as caught in the same past as Brendan.
I admit, I found it difficult to watch her smiling in approval as her dad told Brendan "I don't like that you're gay, but I guess I'm stuck with your depraved self." It defies all sense. But so does Brendan continuing to cower around an old man. His fear of his father is ingrained. And so is Cheryl's peacemaker role. She'd have to rewrite her entire image of her childhood to understand what is going on now.
if there is one trait with the bradys, they are very persistent.
let me return the favor :) Ste said: " I don't want to be going out with a tubb, do I?
what did brendan say at 7:09? please?
whats the song in the very beginning?
the writing is excellent nd v impressive, Brendan doesnt want to have to kill his father, but youve no idea the pain he is put under seeing his dad back again. for brendan anyway its the only way, which as a viewer u need to accept
What makes me sick is that Cheryl is trying to force Brendan to make up with their dad when she doesn't even know both sides of the story....
I haven't seen Joel in forever and the first words he speaks are something about the club, haha I think it's hilarious that he has nothing else to talk about. The club the club the club :) Seamus joyed to see Charlie and picking him up, yuck, he makes me sick. Ste's being so supportive it makes me happy. Cheryl believes everything she's told. Hey Cheryl there are these pink elephants in my neighborhood that fly *eye-roll*
Brendan's father makes me sick. I won't be sad to see him go.
A nice father and son bonding week end... why after watching the a couple of times did I get the feeling that Brendan was climbing to the top of the tree to escape his father abusing him? I am pretty certain Brendan has other reasons to remember the broken arm and busted lip!(thanks Hollyoaks writers for not showing us endless flashbacks of the incident!)
I'm always happy to spread knowledge, feel free to ask explanations lol
is not fair, because when doug didnt told his parents that he was gay Ste was pretty mad with that, but if Brendan do it he doesnt care....
Right on!
indeed. it's great drama. and also all this people saying doug was better than brendan, the only right thing he did it was giving ste the ticket to dublin. he was eager to put a friend of ste in jail after ste has told him expressly to do not, he also was ready to scam his family...a great boyfriend
Cheryl is oblivious of what's happening, it seems stupid of her to defend her dad without knowing the whole truth. Brendan is a sad case. No wonder he grew up to be a vicious man.

Thank god Ste is there for him n support him. Like some people say, a person with dark past can't change overnight it takes years of endurance n dedication
Anyone notice the baby photo of Emmett in the beginning?
Could you tell me what does Brendan say at 6:46? Thanks!! (And THANK YOU Emmettscanlanfans!)
what I would like to see next ep? Seamus comes in to the deli to sweet talk Ste but Ste gives him hell and Seamus true self comes out.
So Brendan pays Joel more for his half of the club than it's worth, and the police won't figure out that the difference is for a hit job. You're probably right. No one else would buy half, so Brendan doesn't pay more.
He can't do it himself. He'll be the main suspect. He needs to make sure he has an alibi when it's happening.
Having fun re-watching all my Stendan *sad face*. But what does Joel say at 3:11 when Brendan and Seamus walk into the club??
I disagree, churst, I think they showed quite a bit to convey that Joel knew exactly what he was doing. The deliberately focused the camera on him listening in the background while Stendan discussed Seamus not knowing. Then he kept going at the club when it was obvious he had put his foot in it. Plus he admitted he did it in a fit of pique when confronted by Brendan. So yeah - he knew he was outing Brendan.
I dont understand what Brendan said to Ste on the sofa!Can someone tell me?
nice to see stendan as a couple ...I didnt get what ste said after "nobody needs a sugur on coffee ..I dont want you ....... what is the rest he is saying?
hope someone can help me but what does ste says at 00.25 when brendan tells him he forgot something. nobody needs what?
When Ste opened the door and saw Seamus he should have slammed the door in his face! Brendan should not have to be civil to that evil man.
he told him that the day he went camping with hiis father there was no tree brendans dad beat him because he set up the tent the wrong way and that his dad beat him even before that so that was how he got a busted lip and broken arm :(. , i hope i helped :)
god helps the person that dosnt do what he told him to
what exactly you don't care about? you can have an opinion but while you want to base it on a partial knowledge? the situation is clear so not only ste loves brendan more and understands him better because of that but also because brendan had a same childhood as ste's so he can relate to his difficulty, doug's problem wasn't a big deal compared to brendan's. and no, brendan doesn't kill anyone.

Sorry
Because my dad is Seamus Brady, that's why, god help the person who doesn't do as he told them to"
i didnt get the speech between ste and brendan .. did brendan told ste that semus sexually abused brendan??? anyone pls let me know??
how if she is her sister she has a northern irish accent and he has a dublin accent ?
Great plan Brendan I love it! But I'm afraid it'll be harder to get any with this one now that there's actual ties to u.
who is doug?
it wouldnt be pinned on Brendan as he's getting joel to do it for him .
I hope Seamus doesn't get killed. I hope the truth comes out and he has to live in shame for the rest of his miserable bastard of a life.
you also show a lack of insight when you say brendan is afraid of his dad, he is not just afraid, he is disgusted, ashamed and probably the only sight of theman remembers him every terrible moment of his childhood moreover he keeps tormenting him. I really am not surprised brendan thought to kill him considering he is kind of gangster and his dad teached to solve everything with violence
WOW - sexy, steamin' hot scowling, raging Brendan!
there wasn't a tree. u don't need other reasons to remember something so traumatic but possibly he was trying to get away from him molesting him.
"This time it was because I...couldn't put up the tent properly"
I've been wondering if this was another lie to conceal the truth. I mean, as far as I know, Ste doesn't know about the sexual abuse, only the physical ones...
Chez irritates me to no end!!!!! After years of indifference between her brother and dad, has she ever bother to really find out why her brother hates their dad so much!? I just wish Brendan would tell Ste everything his disgusting dad did to him!!!! The truth has to come out!!!!
There he is!!! My love able villain Brendan Brady! I don't going to Joel was very smart though.
Joel What have you done
no he didn't. he told ste about the beatings though
i dont care that.... is my opinion.... brendan is afraid of his father but he kills everyone...... that´s not normal =P
Can someone fill me in on what happened with Joel? Why is he selling his half of Chez Chez?
he does...
