You Attacked My Son! | Hollyoaks

[@pendafen7405]

People forget Ste grew up rough, living through domestic abuse from his stepdad every day, long before Brendan. Just because Ste is bi, expressive and flamboyant, and a nicer man these days doesn't mean he doesn't know a worse more repressive way of life--actually, he's sadly an expert in it. He even had a period in his life where he himself was a physical abuser too (to poor Amy). It's why he's so anxious about Lucas not witnessing the same or going down the same road.

It’s good to see Lucas & Ste have a heart to heart. But, I wish Ste didn’t say to his son “Be glad you’re not gay. I’ve brought enough drama in this family for all of us.” Especially with what’s going on between Lucas and Dillon.

[@pendafen7405]

Speaking as someone who watched HO in the 2000s when Ste was a kid, I know Ste isn't being outright homophobic out of bigotry, but out of self-hatred. He grew up with homophobic parents, and his stepfather was a physical domestic abuser, so sadly he subconsciously learned at a formative age that to be different or 'weak' (r: not a typical straight man) meant he was a failure or lesser. That's why he fell in with drugs and delinquency so young, and why he had so much confusion and repression and torment over his sexuality. Ste as far as we the audience know has never gone to therapy or addressed any of these deep-seated inner beliefs he has, so they continue to wreak havoc on his life by constantly reaffirming in the background of his mind. Also, ftr Ste is a bisexual man with a preference for men, but Hollyoaks with its ever-charming and continual bi-erasure in the writers' room doesn't like talking about that. You can be anything under the sun except bisexual, apparently (notice all the bi characters either die, get written out, or become excusively gay or straight after one storyline? Funny, that.)

[@ashwity8563]

Oh no Lucas better be careful he doesn’t come out to ste who’s also gay with James just because he told him not to be one sounds weird coming from ste

i sure hope ste is willing to talk more to lucas and clarify what he really meant...... rather than lucas remaining in the closet because he doesn't want to disappoint his dad.

[@justmeajah]

[@hannariel]

​​​@@pendafen7405It's so annoying, it's both biphobic and homophobic. Ste was a originally written as a hetero character, then gay, then bi and I think gay again. It's worse when they make gay/lesbians characters go str8/bi. Also, Ste is the character who most changed the sexuality in the show.

No child or teen deserves to be hit by an adult. When i was a kid i got smacked a number of times. Even strangled. Wonder how i didnt die as a result. 😅 On a serious note, despoite Lucas being annoying. I dont tolerate James being abusive to him. There is no excuse.

[@pendafen7405]

6:30 ugh please don't seed that HO is bringing back Stendan or all those horrible shippers romanticising the storyline. It was so miserable and uncomfortable watching Ste go through all that, the same way it was horrible watching him abuse Amy.

[@JustinRaff2021]

I’m feel sorry for Lucas and Ste and It’s really heartbreaking. Superb performance from Oscar Curtis and Kieron Richardson. What James did for abusing Lucas was totally unacceptable and Lucas has destroys Ste & James’ marriage. 💔👏🏻

[@rapidsmartypants]

Lucas got what he wished for, but it looks like he’s not keen on the idea anymore

[@PhilipMulvin]

It’s James I feel sorry for

[@JonInCanada1]

Lucas did push James, but James' responded with physical violence and thus, regardless of what came before, he's responsible for what he, and he alone, did. Hit a child/teen, especially the child of your partner, and all bets are off. There's nothing more powerful than a parent protecting their child.

It’s good James is getting what he deserves. You would’ve thought he’d stop after his abusive behavior got Harry killed. Also love Lucas went to Dillon. Wish I could’ve seen him tell Dillon what was happening to him.

[@serenjns]

It wasn’t James who got Harry killed. It was Breeda thinking he’d be an unfit father. I think Ste needs to be more compassionate to James.. He should know what it’s like to get stuck in a cycle of abuse. Just look how he treated Amy.

[@ceruleanshadowx]

@@serenjns Breda thought he was an unfit father because he was running away from being arrested. He wouldn’t have run away if James didn’t drug him once to miss getting an albi. Or drug him the second time to miss his court hearing. Just because Ste abused Amy doesn’t mean he has to tolerate people hurting his kids. Also Ste abuse started and ended with Amy. James has a history.

[@serenjns]

⁠@@ceruleanshadowxHarry made plenty of his own mistakes without the help of James. Breeda’s motivation was more than just anything James did. Harry made it clear he wasn’t ready to be a father. I’m not suggesting Ste tolerate James’s actions. I’m just suggesting he show more compassion and give him a chance to change. He’s written him off far too quickly. The amount of times Ste has done something that required forgiveness, you’d think he’d be more open to it. He beat his baby mama, he was addicted to drugs, he slept with is sister’s boyfriend, he’s cheated numerous times, he joined the far right. I’m sure there’s more that just isn’t springing to mind. Ste needs to give James more of a chance.

[@ceruleanshadowx]

@@serenjns Justify James drugging Harry. Justify being ok with someone hitting and leaving your kids out in the cold, and saying if you told them that could lead to the end of the parents sobriety.

@@ceruleanshadowx I’m not justifying anything. James is a flawed man. He’s never really dealt with the horrific abuse he grew up experiencing. He needs to work on himself and needs to work through that. I’m just pointing out that Ste has benefited from compassion, forgiveness and empathy plenty of times. He should offer that to James too. It’s no wonder he’s been married so many times.

While I'm not condoning James's actions, I can understand why he did what he did. Lucas was being a manipulative little brat. And being raised the way James was with a father like Mac has really left its mark on James, he's simply a damaged person. Lost his mother, then his little sister, can't be surprised he'd go to great lengths not to lose Ste. James is a good man who just needs help.

I hate that people keep making excuses for James behaviour, he pimped out Harry people found an excuse, he tried to set up Ste for Amy’s murder people found an excuse, he drove someone’s father to suicide and people found an excuse, he hit Romeo people found an excuse and he hits Lucas, people still found an excuse.
