Will Leah die?

It will be a big twist if they kill her off, but they may think that Ste will still have two kids, both of them biologically his unlike Leah.
I worry more about Romeo TBH. The character has revealed to be a particularly duplicitous killer and the actor has apparently got another gig. The Nightingales have been almost decimated and James is unlikely to have another child.

Ste's storyline for 2024 has been confirmed as he will sadly relapse on drugs and alcohol following recent events. Also Cleo McQueen has been confirmed to make a return! Following recent events in the McQueen household! Welp, it really does look like Leah meets her doom. Or is Ste relapsing because he's responsible for the accident that claims someone else's life? I would think it far more likely he would end up in prison if that's the case. But really, do we need another story of alcohol intoxication leading to death? We already did that with Jesse not all that long ago. If they really need to PSA the topic again, don't use a long-term legacy character like Leah as canon fodder. It sure looks like another year of misery for the gays of the Hay-Nightingale clan. Ste relapsed, Lucas consumed by self-loathing in conversion therapy (probably thinks he needs to marry and father a child the old-fashioned way to keep his mother's bloodline alive if Leah can't) and James will probably also lose his son since Romeo's been revealed as Rayne's killer - although I hope it's just prison or on the run rather than a permanent exit. Also, what 'event' exactly needs Cleo to return? I presume she's the other person in the overturned car with Theresa?

surprising about Cleo returning as the actress made it clear she didn't have any interest in ever returning

James Sutton (John Paul) has said that the Conversion Therapy storyline will run for another 6 months and that John Paul is NOT in love with Carter he likes the danger and he sees it as lust. He also said that Ste, James, and Sally will also get involved and fans will see Carter get his comeuppance and the fallout.

I was right about Dillon getting a girlfriend, but it's Freya instead of Frankie. Such a stupid cliche, a pan guy getting a girlfriend. He has not seemed interested in girls at all, mostly just guys, yet now he's all into a girl after spin the bottle, and they will sleep together too? This feels more like a plot device than anything else. It doesn't make any sense. It even seems out of character for him. Why not give him a boyfriend instead? It's just stupid.
Oh well... I won't be watching Hollyoaks for a while. I have no interest in this. It's such a shame because I loved the Lucas and Dillon scenes in December/January. But then the writers have gone and effed it all up. It's like they want the soap to fail. I realize now why the soap is struggling and why it's on the verge of getting canceled. Maybe it's my fault for having too high expectations, but at least I've learned. I will be back when Carter is exposed. Until then... bye.

It just goes to show that changing the writers alone will not improve the quality of the show. In fact, they could write the book on how to tank any interest in their storylines. Four steps to make sure your gay storyline flatlines: 1. Announce it more than a year ahead and do next to nothing with the characters in the meanwhile. 2. Expand and drag out the miserable aspect of the story - conversion therapy - which no one wanted in the first place. 3. Throw in a few fakeouts - gay kisses that don't happen, puzzling flirtation (with Andre) that leads nowhere because you can't introduce more than two male LGTBQ+ teens at a time. 4. Give the boy who arrived saying he was into boys a female love interest after 10 months being single - during which time some of his peers have cycled through three love interests.

Give the boy who arrived saying he was into boys a female love interest after 10 months being single - during which time some of his peers have cycled through three love interests. I completely agree with everything you said here. The writers messed it up. Not only is Dillon kissing Freya, the spoilers said he suddenly caught feelings for her. Odd, after one kiss, isn't it? To add insult to injury the spoilers have him sleeping with her too. I'm not buying it. It seems more like a stupid plot device. I find it odd how Dillon and Lucas have both been single forever. Only now Dillon falls for a girl? He has not shown any interest in a girl previously, despite being pan, he has seemed more into guys. Why couldn't he get a boyfriend instead? Even a male guest character until he gets with Lucas would be better than Freya. The interview with Oscar said Dillon would be Lucas' light at the end of the tunnel. HOW?!?! In the spoilers Dillon made it perfectly clear he has feelings for Freya and is dating her, not out of spite, like Lucas seems to think. The interview just doesn't match with what we will see according to the spoilers. I suspect they have changed a lot of the original plot and this dreck is new. What annoys me the most is the fact that they haven't had one single kiss yet and now Dillon will kiss a girl before he kisses Lucas. By the time they finally kiss I've lost all interest. This back and forth, hot and cold crap is fun for a while... until you get sick of it not going anywhere. If the writers were smart they'd have them kiss once for the viewers to gain interest, then have them fall apart, que the angst, back and forth etc. It's ridiculous that they haven't kissed yet. James Sutton said the conversion therapy would run for another 6 months, at this point I don't see the kiss happening until that. And I have no patience for it, especially not if it means I have to watch Dillon fuck some random girl in the mean time. I think the writers got desperate for a way to include Dillon in the conversion plot, so they had him date Carter's daughter. It's stupid. They could have included him in it without that. It's a cheap plot point imo. It makes no sense. It seems out of character for him. Anyways, I have no interest watching this shit. My last drop was Dillon not only kissing a girl, but fucking her too, and Lucas watching (!) What the hell?! It makes me sick. I literally want to throw up. And Dillon is supposed to be his light atthe end of the tunnel. Lol. Now watch Freya getting pregnant. You know she will. I could deal with the back and forth and hot and cold while Dillon and Lucas were both single, but this takes the cake. I'm done with this storyline. For now at least.

They aren't caught kissing... they are caught BEFORE kissing, huge difference. Carter catches them... again. Rinse, repeat. It's getting boring now. Also, once again the gay teens on this show are not allowed to kiss. The lesbians kissed then the angst happened, meanwhile it's the other way around for the gays. Not only is it a stupid strategy, as it's smart to get people hooked with a kiss first, then start the angst, it also reeks of homophobia. Now when they finally do kiss after like a year people won't care.

Terrible news, but not surprising given the trajectory of the show. As many as 135 jobs will be lost due to this reduction in output and it will affect both cast and crew (so in other words, we will see some cast exits coming up - and I suspect at least two gay characters will be on the chopping board).
The announcement also says Hannah Cheers who is the acting EP has had her role made permanent. I don't think this is good news considering the poor resolutions she has written to several plots: Rayne's murder, the Rafe/Sienna/Dilly con, and now the Lucas/Dillon storyline.

I could see the show just putting John Paul and Ste back together.

I know James Sutton has a another gig on the side he does podcasting for sport events, also Gregory just last year just bought a brand new house plus he has a wife and three sons so I would think they would take that into consideration.

I feel like there setting James and ste up and his kids as a family unit.
I have always been confused if carter is temp or if he would end up being a long running character.
