Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks is set to air the aftermath of Dillon Ray catching his ex-boyfriend Lucas Hay abusing his dad Ste amid a secret romance storyline.
Fans of the Channel 4 soap know that Dillon has been harbouring a crush on Ste for a while now. Last month, the whirlwind anniversary episodes saw Dillon reiterate his feelings for Ste, with Ste reciprocating and the pair sharing a kiss in Liverpool.
Now, new scenes continue exploring child-to-parent abuse as Dillon is horrified to have seen Lucas taking his rage out on his dad Ste.
Later on, Ste tells Lucas he blames himself for letting him down.

At the flat, Dillon brings baby James to see Ste, thanking him for being the father figure his son needed.
The tension between Ste and Dillon isn’t bound to remain a secret for long, though Lucas is still unaware of their connection at present. How will he react once he finds out?
Meanwhile, Dillon is “stunned” to have seen Lucas beating up Ste, our Hollyoaks insider explained.
“Dillon is completely stunned after witnessing Lucas attacking Ste,” our source said.
“It no doubt confirms that he was right to split up with Lucas – but his controversial feelings for Ste remain up in the air. Dillon and Ste later share a moment, but will their own secret be exposed?”
