Catherine and Marla seem to have a lot in common at the moment and Alex finally cracks.

Literally. Firstly, WOW. This is the sort of storyline the cuts needs to keep it edgy and suprising. I didn't see that one coming. It explains the loose end of those boys bullying Alex and also why he's been hanging around Olive&Stephen so much when he knew he had no chance with Olive. Secondly, good on the actors! I know it was only a little peck but it's a lot to ask from a new actor who's friends are all probably watching. Great episode, can't wait to see what they're going to get up to with this story.

Wow this is a really unexpected plot twist..
You could tell poor Alex was in agony all this week so far. That doesn't excuse that they were both acting like royal pains this week.
But I did NOT expect that.
I also think Stephen let it happen and even hesitated before he punched Alex!
Thankyou for the refreshing way, The Cut team, for not making Alex your stereotypical gay person (if that's what he's decided he is)

But i don't think Stephen felt something when Alex kissed him since he punched him straight away. I think he was just surprised Alex did that and didn't know what to do but when the senses came back to him he punched Alex off of him.

At 8th Aug 2010, Daivid wrote:I don't buy the Stephen retuning the kiss theory. All I see is Stephen being too stunned to react. It is possible that the script writers might take in in that direction but I hope not. Stephen has so far been one of the most interesting characters in that every he has done has been in-character (which still gives the script writers a lot of leeway). One of the faults of soaps is that the writers start messing with the characters and so make them unbelievable (eg Rosa). Stephen is an interesting enough character as he is.
Alex, on the other hand, has so far been totally unbelievable and no more than something to stir things up and to provide challenges for the real characters. That kiss suddenly makes his hostility to everyone logical. With a homophobic dad no wonder he is so screwed up.

Maybe it was my eyes deceiving me but we might find out next week. Alex's line in Friday's episode made me think twice about it: 'Stephen is the biggest liar of all'.
But if Stephen feels something for Alex right now I wouldn't believe it and write it off as ridiculous.
And tbh, I don't really miss Rosa. How come there was no mention of her whereabouts after she mysteriously vansihed?

The Stephen returning the kiss theory is an interesting one and because they were literally like 'thick as thieves' then it wouldn't surprise me if it was true. Alex's only friend is Stephen and i can see why it happened. Alex is a fantastic character and i really hope he takes more of a centre spot next series. Stephen i feel will deny having any feelings for Alex, but you do have to wonder if he did return that kiss. Normally you would punch him straight away. For me it was a bit of a delayed reaction. Is there something there??
