These are two men who both have no real family, no support and have had many problems (eg Max losing his sister, dad etc and all his business problems and OB with his alcoholism and family problems) been friends for years through it all and it's just been beneficial for them.
Maybe they've only gone out with girls because, um, they aren't gay?
If you want to think in this way Jack Osbourne is a lecturous, insectuous paedeophile because of his predaliction of taking in the waifs and strays from his family and friends.
It's a pity that these two actors are having to act out the crap that Hollyoaks is becoming. Says something when the standout performance is Tom!
