Hollyoaks has exposed Dillon Ray’s shocking baby secret in the show’s latest episode.
Shortly after the show’s time jump, viewers found out that Dillon is the father of Leah’s baby – a huge betrayal, as Leah is the sister of his boyfriend, Lucas.
Dillon has mainly kept this secret to himself, although Frankie recently learnt the truth. Instead of confessing to Lucas, Dillon decided to break up with him and keep his distance.
Meanwhile, Ste is currently suffering from psychosis and is convinced that Rex is holding his late husband James captive, especially after he found a Newcastle address in his phone.
In today’s episode, Lucas asked Dillon if he knew where Ste was, and Dillon explained that he was furious with Ste after he terrified Misbah in her house.
Rex apologised to Misbah for kidnapping her last year and told her that he had now changed for the better because of her and had fallen in love.
Ste returned home to collect baby James and some things. He told a bewildered Lucas that Rex must have realised he is onto him, and that he needs to get to Newcastle before he kills his husband.
Robbie confronted Rex about Darren’s disappearance, then took him away in a van. He theorised that Rex must have told someone that he killed Dave, then they kidnapped Darren in response.
Ste overheard Rex saying that he is “glad he’s dead” and mistakenly thought it was about James, and he was horrified that his husband had now been killed.
Returning home, Ste was in a state of distress, and Lucas asked Peri for help with his dad. He tried to explain the messages, but Peri told him that it’s all in his head.
As the situation escalated, Dillon arrived at the house, and he witnessed a manic Ste attempting to run away with baby James.
Dillon intervened and tried to take the baby, and ended up confessing, “He’s my son.”
Ste ran away from the house, and Dillon was left to face a shocked Lucas. How will he react to this news?
