Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) behaviour piques the interests of his loved ones in Hollyoaks next week as he goes out of his way to avoid spending time with Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Curtis).
The teens have become quite close since the latter’s arrival in the eponymous village earlier this year, getting up to all sorts of mischief together.
In more recent weeks, they’ve found themselves on the football team, though Lucas soon was taken off the team after his scheming at the school led to Hunter McQueen (Theo Graham) taking away his place.
Next week, Lucas is reinstated and, in a bid to offer him some support, Dillon reaches out to him, sending a text message telling him that he’ll see him there.
Lucas, however, comes down with a sudden sickness bug, or so he claims, which leads to an argument between Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan), as they once again disagree over how to handle the teen’s behaviour.
Overhearing the heated discussion, Lucas storms out, which piques James’ interest, as he makes it his mission to find out what it is that’s making his stepson act out.
James catches up with Lucas and pushes him to admit what’s really going on, with subsequent scenes seeing the lawyer shocked, as he’s led to believe that Dillon has been bullying Lucas.
Armed with this Lucas’ claim, Ste and James pop over to see the Maaliks. Dillon, however, is stunned at such an accusation and denies all bullying claims.

Desperate to hide from Ste, Lucas quizzes Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) about James’ dad Mac before bunking off school.
Ste and James later find the teen at home and question him about his reasons for lying about Dillon, which prompts Lucas to fully admit that he made the bullying claim up.
The question is: why?
Former Hollyoaks boss Lucy Allan previously hinted at a romance between the two characters when speaking to Inside Soap, telling the publication that Lucas, now 16, will be ‘grappling’ with his sexuality.
‘Lucas is getting to the age where he is difficult to manage, and he’s grappling with his sexuality,’ she said. ‘There’s also a new teen coming into the show in the form of Misbah’s nephew, Dylan.’
Is Lucas starting to develop feelings for Dillon?
One to watch: Wednesday November 29 from 7:30pm on Channel 4 streaming and Thursday November 30 at 7pm on E4.
