The writing is so horrendous I really have no words. Even for Hollyoaks this is awful. Dillon falls in love and sleeps with a random girl after ONE spin the bottle kiss? And he sleeps with her because Lucas is 10 seconds late for their meeting? He couldn't even stop to think WHY he was late, maybe something happened? FFS. It's maddening. I can't believe what I'm seeing. When Freya showed up, he couldn't have told her he was waiting for someone else, so he didn't have time? Why did he sleep with her? It makes zero sense. And now he's telling Lucas he is head over heels in love with her, after one kiss and one time having sex. They haven't even talked to each other prior to this. He has more connection with Lucas, despite no touching, let alone kiss or sex. But now we're supposed to believe he is in love with Freya?! LOOOOOL. Oh my. What a way for Hollyoaks to treat their fans. We have been waiting a year for Lucas and Dillon, then when it finally gets going Dillon sleeps with a girl, before even as much as a kiss between the two boys (and despite the fact that Dillon seems like he's more into guys than girls despite being pan). Do the writers think this is a good way to treat their viewers, that THIS will appease the Lucas and Dillon fans? It's like they want the gay storyline to fail. Hollyoaks is already struggling with the viewership, and according to the rumors it might get canceled this year. With this writing I understand why. Lucas and Dillon is the only good thing the soap has going right now, and they manage to eff it up so royally? I'm baffled. Like... they couldn't even have thrown a boyfriend Dillon's way? nah. We have to watch him with a girl.... in a gay storyline. Who wants to watch this crap?!
What bothers me the most is the fact that Nate and Oscar were interviewed and what they said in the interview doesn't match what we're actually seeing playing out on screen. Oscar said Dillon would be the light at the end of the tunnel for Lucas. WHERE?!?! HOW?!?! He just slept with a girl ffs! Dillon is acting totally out of character. He has been a saint for months now with Lucas acting out. Now he acts like a jerk... because what? Lucas is late? How am I supposed to root for them, this "grand love story" (according to the news articles anyway), when Dillon is acting like an asshole? I never felt this way when Lucas was acting out, because at least I knew why, he was struggling with his sexuality. But for Dillon to do a 180 and act this way?! I'm baffled. Another thing that makes no sense. And now I'm at the point where I think Lucas deserves better. I actually hope he DOESN'T end up with Dillon now. Dillon needs to apologize for me to even be on his side again. I'm guessing this wasn't what the writers planned. But it's what has happened. I'm seeing several comments from people saying this is out of character for Dillon and that Lucas deserves better. The writing is just so bad. So so so bad. Like I said: I'm done. I'm just done. I can't with this dreck anymore. I have lost all my faith int his show. Thank god Johnny is back on EastEnders. I'll watch that instead. At least the writing on EastEnders is decent, unlike this dreck on Hollyoaks. The writing on Hollyoaks is insulting to their loyal fans.
