Heartbroken Hollyoaks fans were in tears this evening after Ollie Morgan was forced to give up his baby son.
The teen footballer, played by Aedan Duckworth, was told the devastating news that his dad Luke was dying earlier this evening.
He had been planning to keep his baby after Brooke revealed she didn't wish to be a mum, however when Luke was told his dementia was hereditary he told Ollie that he wouldn't be able to help him raise a baby.
As a result, Ollie had to say goodbye to his son.
After hearing his results from the doctor, a horrified Luke told Darren: "It means it’s not just about me anymore - the kids might have it. DJ, Ollie, my grandson…"
However as Darren tried to comfort Luke, Ollie overheard and asked: "Dad, are you dying?"
Luke went on to speak about his condition, saying: "It’s a brain condition, further down the line it will affect my memory and my body. It’s terminal. It’s progressing slowly. I’ve got five years, maybe more."
Ollie then realised that he couldn't raise his son and fans were left in tears.
One tweeted: "My heart is breaking for Ollie and Luke #Hollyoaks."
While another commented: "Tonight's episode of #hollyoaks had me in tears my hearts breaking for Ollie."
A third remarked: "Heartbroken for Ollie tonight. As if the thought of giving his baby up isn't hard enough he's just found out his dad is going to die but no one will know how long he has left. hate the thought that he could potentially lose Luke and the baby within a year #Hollyoaks."
"I wish Ollie would keep his son. He'd make an awesome dad #Hollyoaks xxx," another wrote.
One wrote: #Hollyoaks this episode was so emotional. My heart is breaking for Ollie."
