James reveals the truth to Ste.
Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ James Nightingale and Ste Hay are set to reunite amid a devastating illness.
The married couple recently split following Ste’s infidelity with Rex, with Ste issued divorce papers by his husband.
Recent scenes saw Ste try to win James back, with James suffering a shock collapse during a ‘divorce party’ before asking his estranged husband to give him space. Ste later turned up with flowers only to find his husband in a moment of passion with Jeremy.
James admitted to Jeremy he didn’t know how to tell Ste about his brain tumour, and was pushing his husband away because he found it too difficult to face the truth. However, he changed his will to leave everything to Ste, Leah and Lucas.
In follow-on scenes set to air during next week’s big stunt episodes, James prepares to head to his hospital appointment.
However, he is confronted by Ste at the flat, before James reveals to his estranged husband that he thinks he has a brain tumour, admitting he is afraid of death.
Ste says he is devastated that he didn’t reveal the truth to him, and later on James tells Leah and Lucas that he and Ste are now back together for good.
Next week’s big stunt episodes will see a huge showdown for Warren and Dave (aka Blue), while a big motorbike accident will also occur as Abe Fielding announces a shock death.
It comes before Hollyoaks airs a one-year time jump later this month, as the soap cuts down the number of episodes per week alongside a number of cast exits.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
