Hollyoaks’ fans disgusted by ‘sickening’ far-right protest scenes

HOLLYOAKS fans were left disgusted by ‘sickening’ far-right protest scenes in last night’s first look episode.

The E4 edition saw Ste Hay join an extremist group to march through the village, as he continues to be groomed by his new ‘pals’ Jonny and Stuart.

While Ste had claimed the protest would be peaceful, chaos soon descended as the group trashed whatever they could, and encouraged Ste to throw a brick through a window.

All the while, his loved ones – Tony Hutchinson and Diane O’Conor – watched on in horror.

Then a police van arrived and a number of the gang members were arrested, including Ste.

Horrified viewers took to Twitter to comment on the ‘sickening’ scenes, with one writing: “Oh my God, I actually don’t like this. I really can’t stand Ste anymore.”

Another added: “Ste is cancelled! Don’t even try and redeem him.”

A third tweeted: “The Ste storyline on #Hollyoaks has gone way too far.”

A fourth agreed, writing: “Not liking this racist storyline on #Hollyoaks one bit. Very disturbing. Please dont let Ste @kieronR become a bad guy.”

However the bold storyling was praised by many, with one viewer writing: “This extremist storyline #Hollyoaks are doing at the minute is an absolute MUST.

“Make these idiots actually see how they look “protecting” their country.”

Once Ste was released from the police station, he confronted Tony about calling the cops, but Tony was having none of it.

As he pushed Ste away, he told him he was spouting hate and had been brainwashed by his new ‘friends’, and after witnessing his behaviour during the march, he was “done” with him.
