Hollyoaks viewers were raging tonight (July 16) as certain villainous characters made other people's lives a misery.

While Simone Loveday (Jacqueline Boatswain) spent most of the episode making it her business to stop newcomer Sylver McQueen (David Tag) from getting a fresh start in Hollyoaks, it was evil football coach Buster Smith (Nathan Sussex) was continuing his torment of poor Ollie Morgan (Aedan Duckworth) that proved the biggest talking point of the night.

With Ollie's dad Luke (Gary Lucy) and stepmum Mandy (Sarah Jayne Dunn) remaining totally oblivious about Buster's actions, Ollie has been struggling by himself, even quitting the football team after Buster made an inappropriate gesture towards him.

Tonight's episode saw Luke and Mandy invite the coach round and together they talked Ollie into re-joining the team, but viewers were left absolutely disgusted by Buster's behaviour and are desperate for him to be found out – especially after Ollie came very close to confessing all to Mandy tonight:

Poor Ollie was clearly suffering and he ended up taking things out on potential new love interest Brooke Hathaway (Talia Grant) when she commented that Ollie is gay after seeing Buster touch his leg in the football changing room yesterday.

Furious, Ollie shouted at Brooke and called her an "idiot", which led Brooke to retreat into herself.

And while the whole situation was heartbreaking, viewers were hugely impressed by the character of Brooke and Talia's performance:
