Hollyoaks spoilers follow for the latest episode to air on E4 and stream on the Channel 4 service.
Hollyoaks' violent little menace Lucas Hay is finally caught out tonight after lashing out in anger yet again at his dad Ste. Will this finally lead to some well-deserved repercussions for the troubled teenager? Lucas has been taking his anger issues out on Ste for months now, while also threatening to injure himself if his boyfriend Dillon doesn't stay with him.
However, Dillon broke up with him after accepting Lucas' proposal, and Lucas is out to prove that he's been cheated on.
As tonight's episode began, he saw texts on Dillon's phone between him and Frankie Osborne and assumed they are sleeping together.
Ste insisted that they were just mates messaging each other, but said that Lucas should also move on from Dillon and find someone else.
"I don't want anyone else, I want him," he angrily replied, just as Dillon walked in looking for his phone.

Lucas fired more accusations at his ex and continued to refuse believe that Dillon and Frankie are just mates.
He continued his tirade at Casa McQueen (where Frankie was waiting for her date with Sully) with Dillon was acting as wingman. Sully turned up and confirmed that he was dating Frankie, causing a humiliated Lucas to run away.
Back at home, Ste tried to reassure Lucas that things would be okay. "It might not be days, it might not even be weeks, but one day you're gonna wake up and all this Dillon stuff is not gonna hurt as much as it does right now," he said.

Just as Lucas started to cheer up, his phone pinged with a video of his outburst at Casa McQueen. The clip had been posted online and people started ridiculing him in the comments.
That caused Lucas to flip out again. He punched Ste to the ground before continuing to attack him... just as Dillon walked in.
"I knew it!" Dillon said. "This isn't the first time, is it? You're abusing him!"
