@@volumemaximum It won't. As much as it was a lovely scene, one positive moment doesn't erase months of manipulation so easily. Lucas is going to need actual therapy.
@baked_alaska Yes, but he is honest with himself. Which is emotionally freeing. Therapy will be needed. It's a great first step for lucas. His actor is brilliant. Wish him great success in acting.
Iam soo glad Lucas had the courage to finally be honest with himself and that Ste got through to him through all the brainwashing this is why we need to protect all kids from religious extremists everyone has the right to be what they want to be in life and love who they want to love
The scene of a boy coming out to his father as gay is one of the most powerful, emotionable, and the very beautiful thing in the world, makes me wanna cry for Lucas cause I'm so proud of him for having the courage to say "I'm gay". Ste you've became a hero for saving your son's life and now he can be just like his dad..... Out & Proud!!!!
Remember Ste was brainwashed by Stuart he found out the truth in the end he knows what it’s like. I’m happy he knows now what they did was bad . I’m sure Lucas will be the same
As soon as Lucas started to say "I'm gay", the tears burst out of my eyes like a couple of gueysers. It feels like yesterday that Ste had a similar scene as a young man and Lucas was a wee lad. Say what you will about soaps but they always break ground and the particular subject of a parent who was gay and their biological child they raised also ended up being gay is actually a pretty touchy subject and actually far more common than you'd think. Most of the time it's a situation of mutual coming out, but just once in a while it will happen similar to this. Straight children of gay people is far more common so I think the whole nurture thing goes out the window and establishes an even more solid case for some type of genetic component. Turns out that the background gay percentage rate for children with parents of any orientation tends to be about the same. Again, say what you will about soaps, but they do always seem to break ground albiet often over- or under-played and certainly this storyline has contained a few touchy subjects of which so far they have aggressively portrayed in what I would say is a fairly realistic time frame and tone. Bravo to Hollyoaks, Oscar Curtis, and Kieron Richardson for the performance of the storyline and also for them doing it while maintaining character integrity and continuity. It's going to be a long weekend waiting to see where this goes and how it plays out.
It was surprisingly easy for Ste to convince Lucas. I wonder if Lucas will have some fall backs, because it is very hard to get out of internalized thought patterns. Although I wouldn't wish it upon Lucas, it seems unrealistic to me that one conversation with his dad would solve his internal struggle. And that is without the guilt Lucas will be feeling about the hurt he has caused.
its gonna be such a rocky road now thought and you know that Lucas is gonna be drowning in guilt bcs of what he did to Dillon. honestly thought so glad Ste got through and so glad Lucas could finally admit who he really is and hopefully Lucas and Dillon can be together but like I said its definitely gonna be a rocky road for a bit until everything clears up.
In a previous episode Dillon stopped Lucas from running away with Carter, telling Lucas that he loves him. Lucas, struggling and confused, lashed out and pummeled Dillon in a rage. After Lucas realized what he had done he self-harmed and passed out from blood loss next to an unconscious Dillon. Dillon woke up shortly after and got help and ultimately they both ended up in the hospital.
Are you sure you have the right Oscar Curtis? There is an Australian guy called Oscar Curtis but this one is British, that’s what his modelling agency profiles have said. If he is Australian he doesn’t have a Aussie accent irl in interviews
