Protective Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) is set to call the police on Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) in Hollyoaks after he grows concerned about the gangster’s influence on boyfriend Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass).
Hollyoaks Executive Producer Hannah Cheers said: ‘It is imperative that Hollyoaks is constantly talking to young people about safeguarding issues and ways in which abuse can infiltrate young lives.
Rex, as viewers know, is hellbent on exploiting Dillon and Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith), preying on the teens and manipulating them into a life of crime by offering what appears to be a lifestyle they could only dream of.
Dillon and Frankie, however, are loyal towards their new ‘friend’ and therefore tell Rex about the police, allowing him ample opportunity to throw them off his scent.
That remains to be seen but Rex soon has his head back in the game – as he informs Grace that he’s asked Frankie and Dillon to deal at a party.
