Hollyoaks has revealed that there is turmoil ahead for Ste Hay, as he faces major consequences for his shocking confession about his son Lucas. This week, Dillon Ray was horrified when he caught his ex Lucas abusing his dad, as he has been doing for months.
Dillon urged Ste to seek help, and during an emotional chat the pair gave in to their feelings for one another and controversially slept together.
But meanwhile, Lucas lied to Leela and told her that Ste was abusing him, not the other way around. Leela called the police on his half-brother and Ste was stunned to be arrested for assault.
Ste was interviewed at the station but he didn’t want to get his son into trouble, so he lied to the police and confessed to hitting Lucas – despite being completely innocent.

Dillon was alarmed that Ste had covered for Lucas, but things then got worse when social services arrived to remove baby James from Ste’s custody, seeing as he admitted to a violent offence.
Ste and Dillon were both devastated but reluctantly abided by the Emergency Protection Order by the court – even if it meant that James could be put into temporary foster care.
However, in new spoilers previewing next week’s scenes, Hollyoaks has confirmed that baby James will be staying in the village and living with the Maaliks – including his biological dad Dillon.
