Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) has been behaving increasingly erratically ever since he became convinced that his husband James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) is still alive.

In tonight’s episode of Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings) Ste’s worrying behaviour and accusations spiral.

Ste has only recently come out of hospital after being in a coma for nearly a year.

Meanwhile his husband James was killed in the car explosion but Ste has become convinced that James is still living and that Rex (Jonny Labey) knows where James is hidden.

Tonight and with Ste back in hospital, nurse Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell) explains that Ste may be having delusions and that he needs a psychological assessment.

Can Ste get the help and support he needs?

Or is more drama about to unfold when he makes another rash and desperate decision?

The only person who seems to care about what happened to Ethan is his grieving widow, Sienna.

Jez has been doing some detective work to try and establish whether Ethan was pushed or slipped.

However Maxine remains certain that Sienna knows more than she is letting on as she was heard having a blazing row with Ethan minutes before his death over his fling with Vicky Grant. (Anya Lawrence).
