Talking to: Kieron Richardson and Parry Glasspool

(Ste Hay & Harry Thompson in Hollyoaks)

The Hollyoaks actors talk about the stormy start to Ste and Harry’s married life So, how do you think it’s going so far?

Parry: Harry is torn between his love for both Ste and James. He goes along with the wedding, but he is still full of uncertainty. Then the storm comes...

Kieron: It’s third time lucky for Ste in terms of marriage, but Ste has no luck in his life, so naturally it’s doomed! How do the characters really feel for one another? Is it love?

Parry: Harry loves Ste, and he sees him as part of his family now, along with the two kids, but James has just thrown a spanner in the works. He has to re-evaluate who he loves more, and also make sure he does the ‘right’ thing.

Kieron: I think Ste has feelings for Harry, but it’s more about lust than actual love. Relationships always have cracks, but no amount of bandages can keep them together. Even though he is now married to Ste, what feelings does Harry have for James? Parry: James has that certain something that keeps anyone coming back for more! Love is a weird thing, and once it gets into your head, you can’t think of anything but that! And in Harry’s case, that’s James Nightingale. I think Harry likes James’s intelligence, and the fact that he’s a bit of a bad boy at heart...Harry has a habit for bad boy types it seems! Does Ste suspect anything? Kieron: Personally, I feel like Ste’s not the brightest anyway, which has been quite convenient with the blatant affair going on under his nose! What is your off-screen relationship like? Parry: Great! I say this all the time, but Kieron is such a pro. I learn something new every time I get to work with him. He always pulls a great performance out of the bag.

Kieron: Parry’s like an annoying little brother. I’m quite protective of Starry, (Ste and Harry) but I know deep down Jarry (James and Harry) is a more suited couple.
