Ste was in a state of utter shock when he realized that he was responsible for Ella's tragic death. The weight of his actions hit him like a ton of bricks, and he knew he had a big decision to make. This week's episode of Hollyoaks, which aired on Tuesday and is now available on Channel 4's streaming platform, followed Ste's journey as he grappled with the aftermath of the accident.
The episode opened with Ste struggling to come to terms with the loss of Ella Richardson, the young girl who had tragically died in the accident. Ste had been driving recklessly in an attempt to save his daughter Leah Barnes, who was in grave danger after a night of heavy drinking. He had found Leah unconscious on the side of the road and raced her to the hospital, determined to save her life.
But in the chaos of the moment, Ste had taken his eyes off the road for just a split second, causing him to collide with another vehicle. As he frantically drove to the hospital, he had no idea that he had hit Ella. It was only later, when he discovered one of Ella's red trainers lodged in the wheel of his car, that he realized the full extent of what had happened.
Overcome with guilt and grief, Ste was unable to process his emotions. Meanwhile, Cindy Cunningham was desperate for answers about the accident, and Misbah Maalik delivered the devastating news that Ella had died. In a moment of vulnerability, Cindy turned to Ste for comfort, and he struggled to hold himself together.
But as he tried to come to terms with his actions, Ste received a call from James Nightingale, who was with Leah at the hospital. Leah was heartbroken over the loss of her best friend and had locked herself in her room. Ste rushed to her side and offered words of support, assuring her that Ella will always be her best friend and that he will be there for her no matter what.
In that moment, Ste realized that his daughter needed him more than ever. He made the difficult decision to hide the evidence and cover up his involvement in the accident, in order to be there for Leah during her time of need. He hid Ella's boot in a cupboard at 14 Weirside View and resolved to keep the truth to himself.
Meanwhile, Felix Westwood found himself at the center of the blame, as the McQueens and Leela Lomax accused him of causing the accident. Felix was on a revenge mission at the time of the collision, with Mercedes and Warren Fox trapped in his car. He was taken away by the police, still in shock over the tragedy that had unfolded.
Despite his protests of innocence, Felix couldn't shake off the feeling of responsibility. In the end, he made the decision to turn himself in to the police. But the question remained: would Ste allow Felix to take the fall for Ella's death? Or would he finally come clean and reveal the truth?
As the episode came to a close, viewers were left wondering what Ste's next move would be. Would he continue to hide the truth, or would he finally confess his role in Ella's death? And what would be the consequences of his actions for himself and those around him?
