Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Monday’s (September 16) episode that is now available to view on Channel 4 streaming. The episode in question will air on E4 on at 7pm.
Hollyoaks fans are practically fighting tears after believing that they’ve worked out the answer to one of the biggest mysteries posed by the show’s long-awaited time jump.
The popular Channel 4 soap has officially jumped one year into the future, with life very different for the residents of the eponymous village, who face new challenges, embark on new relationships and piece their life back together after the events of stunt week.
While pretty much every development dropped the jaws of eager fans who got up early to watch the new episode online, it was ultimately Leah Barnes’ (Ela-May Demircan) unexpected pregnancy that got everyone talking.
The teen was seen cradling her baby bump alongside Leela Dexter (Kirsty-Leigh Porter), who is also pregnant, as they paid tribute to James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan), who was quite bafflingly killed off.

As the episode progressed, Leah’s waters broke and she was raced to Dee Valley hospital, where she welcomed her newborn baby.
According to Leela, Charlie Dean (Charlie Behan) is the father of the baby, but fans’ aren’t so sure that this is actually the case after a throwaway line appeared to suggest that Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) is actually the dad.
‘He’s been such a good friend to our Leah’, said Leela of Dillon, was very eager to know how the baby was doing.
Yikes.

The reaction online, as you can imagine, is one of outrage, with viewers desperately hoping that their theory is wrong. Dillon, as fans know, is in a relationship with Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis), who is seemingly in youth offenders at the beginning of the new era.
Lucas is Leah’s brother. It would be extremely out of character for Dillon to cheat on Lucas, but to do so with his sister would be downright awful – and very hard for Lucas and Dillon (aka HayRay) to come back from.

Like if they were going the cheating route, Iâd prefer it be with some stranger not his sister IF our theories turns out to be true bc like how does one come back from that?

Ok Iâm going go say this if Dillon did cheat on Lucas with Leah and got her pregnant then I donât think Iâd want hayray back together because thatâs just out of order his sister and the guy he loves more than anything going behind his back is just not ok #hollyaoks
