Azim asks Scott to move away
WILL HE STAY IN HOLLYOAKS WITH MITCHELL, OR MOVE AWAY TO LONDON WITH AZIM?
Scott realises Mitchell is still not ready to tell the world he’s gay…”
Scott finds himself with two men fighting over him this week, after his new boyfriend Azim asks him to move to London – while his old flame, Mitchell, begs him not to go!
Scott got together with Azim in the wake of his break-up from Mitchell, although it’s clear that his heart still lies with his ex. But when Scott spots Mitchell on a date with a woman this week, he decides that committing to Azim properly is the only sensible way forward for him…
“It’s the classic thing with Scott where he has to make a choice between his head and his heart,” explains star Ross Adams, who plays him. “His heart is definitely with Mitchell – he’s fallen hard for him, and Mitchell really changed his life.
However, in Azim, he has found someone who totally accepts who he is, and is proud to be seen with him. That’s important for Scott.”
Things get even more complicated for Scott as Azim is offered a new job in London, and asks Scott to go with him! Scott agrees to the move, believing that Mitchell is still not ready to admit that he’s gay, and packs up his stuff to leave.
As moving day arrives,
Scott goes to his brother Damon for reassurance that he’s making the correct choice. However, when Mitchell tracks him down at Marnie’s café and begs him to stay, Scott has a big choice to make…
“This is exactly what Scott wants to hear,” confirms Ross. “But he needs Mitchell to prove to him that he really
means it, so he says, ‘Well, if what you’re saying is true, then I want you to kiss me now, in front of everyone’. He wants to know that Mitchell isn’t ashamed of him, so that they can finally be with each other properly.”
So will Mitchell rise to the challenge and go public with his sexuality at last? Or will he let the love of his life slip through his fingers, as Scott heads off to start a new life with Azim? Whatever the outcome, Ross is delighted that his alter ego is finally finding out what it’s like to be a man in demand…
“Scott would be the first to admit that he’s never been lucky in love,” Ross tells us. “Also, he’s just not the kind of character that you would imagine two guys to be fighting over! It’s a really unusual situation for him to be in, and clearly the first time this has ever happened to Scott in his life, bless him. But I’m loving it! Scott deserves to be with someone who makes him feel special…”
