In case any of you are curious, here's how the Steve+Hanners relationship could develop from the current plot developments.
Dora can't handle it that Marten is so cool about the Sven-Faye thing, because if he isn't even a little bit jealous over Faye (who he was into for like forever), Dora is worried that he'll lose interest in her too. Plus, she's pissed at Svan, and Marten isn't going to take her side.
Meanwhile, Steve stops seeing whoever that girl is that he is currently with, because the thing about the ex being her roommate weirds him out too much.
When Dora and Marten break up, Faye pretty much has a breakdown, and can't handle that sleeping with Sven ruined her friendship with Dora, Dora's relationship with Marten, Dora's relationship with Sven, and her friendship with Marten (which gets ruined because of guilt over ruining his relationship with Dora). Faye decides she can't live with Marten any more, and moves out.
Steve decides to move in, and, since Marten is being hella mopey about things, Hannelore can't rely on Marten as someone to hang out with. She and steve start talking, more and more.
Eventually, during a late night chat between the two of them... you all know where this is going.
But instead of flipping out, Hannelore is oddly comfortable with kissing Steve. It's not like she's a hundred percent better (who would want Hannelore without any of her eccentricities?) but with Steve she is able to keep the uber-crazies under control (i.e. no boiling water on face after kissing).
I guess at this point, the strip would pretty much just be about Hannelore and Steve, but I can't imagine anyone having a problem with that!
