Hollyoaks HayRay future teased for Lucas and Dillon - but there's 'conflict' ahead

Fans hoping for a HayRay reunion on could be in luck according to the stars playing the pair.

Lucas Hay and Dillon Ray have been on and off for a while now, and every time it seems like they're back together something gets in the way. At a time where both characters are facing traumatic events in their lives, fans are hoping the pair will lean on each other and get through it all.

But will HayRay, as they are known to adoring fans, finally get their romance back on track and be together? Cast members Nathaniel Dass and Oscar Curtis spoke exclusively to The about the big scenes ahead that could see the pair finally happy.

While Lucas actor Oscar joked it may be short-lived, he did say he was sure there was happier times ahead for the on/off couple. With fans sure they are meant to be together, Dillon star Nathaniel teased there would be a "storm brewing" and "conflict" ahead, but that it could be the moment the pair get things on track.

Of course we requested to speak to the pair together, with them agreeing it was a must. Speaking at the British Soap Awards 2025, they initially remained coy over whether HayRay were back.

Nathaniel said: "We can't tell you that," with Oscar jibing: "You'd ruin the fun." Nathaniel then explained: "The beauty of Lucas and Dillon is you don't know. It's amazing when we are together and it's crushing when we're not, and I think thats' fun.

"We can't say what happens and what doesn’t but we know it's exciting." Oscar went on: "There’s always something brewing, there's always a storm. The fans want the calm but the storm is always fun, and it makes it work."

On the couple being so on and off, Nathaniel told us: "It's the ups and the downs as well. When one character is up the other one is down, and when you think one character's ready for a relationship, the other one's not. That's where the chaos works and where it shows, and it's hard as they are completely different characters and so they're never on the same page."

On whether there is a future for HayRay, Oscar teased: "I'm sure there will be." Nathaniel then shared: "Let's hope so. It will be lovely to see, even if it's only for a little bit," as Oscar joked: "Yeah, at least two weeks."

Joking aside, Oscar and Nathaniel are keen to see their characters reconcile for good and make their relationship work. Nathaniel said: "We had it for a little bit and hopefully can get back to that."

Oscar has been keeping an eye on the fan reaction too, before feeding back to his co-star about what fans are saying. He told us: "I'm on social media every day. If I see something I don't like I'm like, 'never mind'." Nathaniel said it was "nice to hear the positive stuff" fans share about the couple.

With that Oscar declared: "Hashtag HayRay," with his pal adding: "HayRay forever." Oscar then revealed "conflict" would be ahead on the show with Dillon agreeing, but both stars confirmed fans will see the characters together a lot more, no doubt sparking hopes the pair will finally make it work.

Nathaniel told us: "There’s conflict but there’s a lot more. As characters we haven't spent a lot of time on screen together but you are definitely gonna see a lot more of us together after this.

"There's the calming down and processing of what’s happened, and then you’ll see a lot more of them." Oscar concluded: "Let's put it this way, HayRay might be back for now."
