John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) gives an urgent tip-off to the police in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
When he discovers that his colleague, Carter Shepherd (David Ames), is planning an attack on the village’s Pride celebrations, he goes straight to the cops.
JP fills DS Zoe Anderson (Garcia Brown) in on the details telling Zoe that Carter has been practicing Conversion Therapy on his pupils including, Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis).
The Hollyoaks High headteacher and his associate, Declan Hawthorne (Alan Turkington) have been trying to warp Lucas’s young mind by convincing him that homosexuality is a sin.
Zoe explains to John Paul that unfortunately, Conversation Therapy is not illegal but that she will ensure there is an increased police presence at the Pride celebrations.
Meanwhile Carter has plans to secretly take Lucas to America, away from his father, Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson).
Tonight Carter tells his daughter Freya Calder (Ellie Henry) that they will be going on a ‘surprise holiday’ with Lucas.
Carter later tells Lucas to go and find his passport!
