doug falling like that is so soap opera i've been laughing for 500 years

1:42 Doug Seriously could have tiptoed around that oil, and also he didn't even try to jump over "oil" lol but that scene was funny though.

Doug being unconscious because of that fall reminds me of Indian soap operas hahaha never gets old

Oh Doug, that is complete bs. Brendan pretty much fell in love with Ste the first time he talked to him and loved him ever since. He didn't want him back when you guys were together, he wanted Ste happy. He only took Ste back when he realized that Ste really really wanted to be with him instead of Doug.

i literally died laughing when doug tripped

Never understood how in the hell Ste/JP were even remotely compatible...I mean JP slept with the love of his life, his husband and his dad? And let's not even talk about God train wreck that is Ste's life..like how in the hell did that sound good on paper 🙄

Oh man. If Ste had heard any of that final comment by Doug there would have been hell to pay.

I was soooo disapproving of any shenanigans between John Paul and Doug but... James Sutton's so hilarious... What I wouldn't do to have a whisky and a laugh with that guy.

I love Ste mocking John Paul lmao.

John Paul was better suited for Doug than Ste IMO. The writers should've put those two together.

these 3 together are just too funny! Love it!

I love it when JP says blimey!

aha Ste and JP in the same room, it's like the wife meeting the mistress, forget about a chill in the air that deli must be freezing, that scene was so good loved every second of it

seriously, the highlight of the episode is Ste sassiness.

Funny thing about Ste, he's jealous of JP because of Brendan, but he doesn't want Doug with JP either. Ste doesn't want JP to have anyone he has or even used to have. Makes me think Ste doesn't get how much hotter he is than JP and Doug.

I love when Steven imitates people, that shit is hilarious! He's done it several time for Brendan!

"Blimey!" I seriously don't think Ste is jealous of the flirting between JP and Doug. I think he is jealous because of the one nighter between Brendan and JP in Dublin...I know I'd be pissed at anybody that even looked at Brendan if he was my man! lol

He was actually complimenting but then Ste took offense as well. As I typed earlier, these two have history. I thought it was great that was willing to give Ste his due but I guess, we'll all see how this was all meant.

Hahaha, to think those two would fall in love a year later. ♡

Ok, just my two cents about this episode: JP and Doug? Best wishes dudes, I don't give a shit. Ste jealous? yes, but it has NOTHING like NOTHING to do with JP and Doug flirting. He's clearly jealous about the fact JP had a one night stand with his TRUE LOVE (not my words but Kieron's). And don't let me start talking about the AGES during which Ste and JP hated each other. JP needs really to remember he comes from a crappy family and he's not exactly better than Ste. Anyway, Stendan forever.

I got some condescension but he did compliment anyway, because Ste has done all of That. In RL he would be a hero. He came from that and made it to where he is and he still asked both Ste and Doug to talk to the kids. He just would need to re-phrase it, of course. they never liked each other so some credit both ways.

i really dont know why people hate them!!! for me they´re funny, handsome and good people..... so if they like this couple or not i really don´t care because i just lov them!!!

Ste calling JP Dougs little fairy godmother is hilarious!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree mostly. Because JP did a one-nighter with Brendan, Ste doesn't want JP to have anyone ever-not Brendan most of all, but also not Doug, not the mailman, no one. Anyone taking an interest in JP totally rubs Ste the wrong way.

Doug is so taken by JP...JP as the older more dominant role (if there is such a thing)...that would be sexy and a first.

Well, in terms of Stevens jealousy, he was being rude to John Paul before JP even talked to Doug so I think Stes jealousy is from JP having slept with Brendan.

PJ (The actor who plays Doug) said in an interview that a reunion between him and Ste after Brendan leaves isn't going to happen. I can link the interview if you'd like.

The noise Doug made when he slipped, hilarious!

Bottom line: I'd love for Doug and JP get their own storyline, and Ste get another unrelated one. There can be 2 gay unrelated storylines and couples at the same time. It would be great.

Jeez, so much venom for cute, cry-baby Doug. In the end Doug had the integrity to tell Ste to go with his heart, which he knew meant he'd lose his husband.

Ste is soo cranky, I love it! I do want him happy of course but, sassy Ste is awesome. I am so guilty of replaying the part of him pushing Will's wheel chair out of the way.

He was going to slide but he lost control of his game (most of us have done it sometime) and went down. We grownups frequently forget that we are supposed to be responsible and pretend to be a kid for a second too long and it can backfire.

John-Paul was not been complimentary! He was been condescending towards Steven! And that's why Steven asked what did he mean by that!

lol ste and jp like each other now

Doug didn't want to walk in the sticky. So he ended up taking a bath in it, while the Deli filled up with smoke. It's like all the fails you can watch on KZfaq, people riding their bikes off roofs and other less than brilliant stunts.

OMG, I love that unexpected slip and fall by Doug. He is so funny. He never thinks about the dangers of what he is about to do! XOXOXOX

can i just say that I FUCKIN LOVEEEEE STE HAY THIS WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got to love Ste's accent. I know he says "wholesalers" but I hear "old sailors" every time.

JP and Ste have a long history pre-Brendan. Brendan was just another one.

Here! Here! PJ , Most of us fans are right there with Ya buddy! Try not to let those kind of people bring You down . You're a great actor..and we fans love and support all our Hollyoaks friends.

I like that... sir... flirting, who... me? I don't know how to flirt... baby,.. I mean Kevin.

I desagree. Couse after the Craig and Kieron, is very difficult lock for a new love perfecto to JP.

Ste dont like JP becasue he slept with his love Brendan and Ste is totally still pissed off about it. poor Doug has no idea haha

Because in a sense it is the truth or at least from his perspective, Brendan may have always wanted him back, but out of protectiveness/love/shame whatever, didn't do much until Ste and Doug started dating.

Doug came back a few weeks ago when Brendan was trying to fit in with Ste's' kids.

thank you for posting :)

I think Doug was right when he made the comment about Brendan only wanting Ste back when he saw that Doug and Ste were together. I never trust Brendan at all. He predicted long ago that he wouldn't stick around for Ste.

Love the way Ste just shoves his wheelchair out of the way

JP and Doug look so cute together. Pj Brennen definitely made sure he was as cute as possible during that scene.

If JP and Doug get together, I'm afraid their courtship will be delightful and the relationship dull or mostly conflict. I guess we'll just have to enjoy the good parts and hope for the best.

ikrrr! cant wait till they get together

Thank you!

Oh and I did ROTFL at Doug's slip...nice comedic work PJ! And I need more Ste/JP sass, it is wickedly divine!!

I guess one more thing they have in common is that a lot of viewers here seem to hate both of them. So they should be happy if they end up being a couple, right? But no, probably they won't be. I don't know which is funnier, Doug's starry eyes for JP or some people's animus toward whichever character they most enjoy disliking.

Okay. I just watched again and I was wrong. Doug was trying to jump over. He was not playing.

God I miss Doug! Not cool how he ended! The writers suck for doing that! Doug was one of the lighter characters on this show! They keep taking away the lighter characters! Careful now or you will end up with a soap much like the ones in America! Don't take away the personalities just for the drama of it!

holly crap, john paul and doug have a shit load of chemistry....

Omfg, I love JP more than iced tea ( and that's a LOT )

I read that interview,poor PJ Brennan,he told how much hate tweets he received from homophobic jerks and also from some crazy fans who hate his character Doug,it's crazy and not right,i never hated Doug,he could be annoying,but also funny and cute:) and he is GAY in real life:) Stop hating people and enjoy the fact that Hollyoaks give us many gay characters and give them proper decent long stories,with ups and downs,with romance and sex,they treat them equally and nice,enjoy the ride people! :)

Ste isn't jealous of the JP/Doug flirting. He is jealous because JP had a one nighter with his man in Dublin.

John-Paul is pissing me off! Did he just call Steven a jail bird? Dude! Your family own a jail cell! They have shares in the police department! So I know your not talking!

Ok, I'll just put this out there, but Ste and JP look fucking good together. Hot damn.

This is a fun storyline!

I find it HILARIOUS that y'all justify bashing PJ/Doug by saying he's the one that needs to grow thicker skin but heaven forbid anyone shouts abuse/criticizes a hair on Brendan/Emmett's head cuz then that gives you license to verbally stone 'em to death. It goes both ways. If you're gonna have an attitude of expecting everyone to take what ya dish out then make sure you can take as good as you give when it comes around. & that goes for you, greymushroom that Michelle44 kid & everyone else here.

...but where did all the oil go when JP got there? He walked right into the kitchen to turn the oven off and came right back out. He didn't jump over any oil...

kieron richardson pretty confirmed his next sl won't be about a relationship, and also the actor who plays doug gave me the impression (in an interview) stug was over for good, another love triangle involoving the same characters would be too much even for hollyoaks. doug as a character is heading towards a light-hearted sl with jp imo

I'm sorry but I really couldn't stop laughing at that fall.

I never had a problem with PJ...I like him alot. And I never said anything derogatory about him or his acting ,which I think is excellent . The problem I had was with the writers and the way they had Doug try to get Brendan in prison...So if You're reading this PJ I love Ya man !!! Try not to feel hurt cause of the jerks out there . I for one look forward to seeing more of You on Hollyoaks .

This was so cute and funny enjpyed how Ste finds John paul so detestable and Doug finds him so attractive. Was a relief after all the angst of Brendan and Ste.

This was the weirdest episode ever wtf lmfao.

What? Why are you going after me? I couldn't care less if somebody goes after "Brendan Brady" anymore than I care who goes after "Doug Carter" or the actor who plays him. Any actor or actress who exposes themselves to the world is bound to get people who love them and people that don't like them. It comes with the territory. If an actor can't handle it he needs to change professions and get a job cleaning office building overnight where no one can see him.

When Doug finds out Brendan has had John Paul too? I thought it was gonna be JP and the principal darn!

Most people seem to call it McCarter but I've also seen JPug. :DD

when Ste/Doug first got together Brendan did want Ste back, But after Lynsey died Brendan left Ste alone Brendan even let Doug and Ste get married in peace it was Steven who realize he was still in love with Brendan. Doug even brought the tickets to Dublin so Ste could be with Brendan.

OMG !! I love JP, he is so rude and sexy at the same time......LOL, Doug didn't have a chance, pure Prince Charming.....Doug is all googly eyes for him.

Thanks a lot :) i wonder there is someone capture the scene of Doug

that was the weirdest freak accident i've ever seen.

i agree , he should tell Ste

Tsk Tsk John Paul is being a bit snarky to Ste. I have to say however that I like this confidant attitude of his a lot better than the sort of pushover he was in his McDean days.

JP and Doug. :) Based on interviews, Ste won't get a love storyline but something else where he returns to his old bad boy ways.

im just in lov of Doug eyes!!!.... and i like this new friendship Doug and JP they´re just a good match

I love JP and Doug. I hope they get a storyline without Ste but I don't see that happen.

...I like PJ. I'm a Yank like him and although I didn't care for the Stug SL I still like him but if you are an actor you have to have tough skin to make it because people are going to either like you or hate you and it is usually based on the characters you play..

Ste's jealous that JP slept with Brendan not that he's flirting with Doug and the only reason they won't end up together is because Brendans leaving!!!!!!!!

Haha. I saw the Mickey-Ian kiss, let's say, a few times. ㋡ Out of the blue! I thought it would happen, but wasn't expecting it when it did. It was brilliant every time.

It's a bit weird seeing Ste and JP in scenes together. It brings me back years ago when they hated each other. Anyway that whole fall set up was beyond idiotic. It couldn't be any more contrived even if they tried.

omg....i just read the latest spoilers and it says....ok, i can't say....but things between JP and Doug gonna be......damn it's exciting! ....lol

In Hollyoaks crazy world everything is possible, so yes it might happen, i actually think JP and Ste have an electric chemistry :))))))

Would'nt it be so much more exiting to watch Steven get this worked up around Brendan. Kieron is doing a fab job today btw

ikr i read that and i nearly cried!! i love doug and pj ! people need to just leave him alone

When did Doug come back? Anybody can tell me the clip, cause I can't seem to find it.

thanks :))

i actually want this 2 work out! the way i see it, jp and doug were the two let down and pushed around in the relationship

i don't mind jp and doug but i already know how they will go they'll be cute for like a minute then being that this is hollyoaks they'll get real old real fast. if am being really honest ste and jp had more fire just dispising each other i really hope that they have more battle em out scenes until they become bff's like mitzeee and nancy.

he can't tell it straight (but almost he did),he would lose his job! you have to read between the lines.of course he won't be single forever,but from interviews it's pretty clear the next sl won't be about that,it can mean 3/4 months. I don't recall him talking about sexual tension with JP, they had always hated each other in the past years.as the things stand it seems jp is going to be with doug, but if they are planning to involve ste with him I don't know, if so it won't be soon though.

I think it was a plot line device for Will, have the writers forgotten doug was there when brendan wanted to give the money to ste for the deli, way before stug happened? lol not to mention the one and half year b and s were on and off

It's not fair ste has brendan so i expect doug and JP for the rest of the show

It's my understanding that in England, when a couple enters into a civil partnership as Ste & Doug did, they can't apply for a dissolution of it for at least one full year. - so if memory serves me right that would be this coming November (2013).

2:59 i am dying !

Ste's dislike for JP pre-dates Brendan by years.
