The clock is ticking for James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) in tonight's Hollyoaks at 7pm (see our TV Guide for full listings) as menacing Kane gives him until the end of the day to get his money - or Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) dies!

Threatening his son's life, Kane tells him he's only got a few hours to come back with the £250k he's demanded.

The terrified lawyer needs to lay his hands on quarter of a million quid and quick - so goes to Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) for help.

James tells Dilly that she still owes him thousands in legal fees and he needs her bill to be settled straight away.

Dilly agrees to pay up, but still struggling from her recent ordeal, she asks James if he can log in to her current account and transfer the money owed.

What will James find when he accesses Dilly's bank? And will it be enough to keep Kane off his case and Romeo safe?

Meanwhile, there could be a new romance brewing in the village when Dilly hits it off with Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer).

The pair first get talking when they encounter one another in the hospital waiting room.

During their chat, Prince explains his family doesn't know where to send their rent money to since Lord Rafe's (Chris Gordon) passing.

Dilly takes pity on Prince, insisting there's no rush for payment, and offers to sit with him. 

And when Dilly admits she fancies an orange juice, Prince comes back with one quicker than you can say, 'my wish is your command'.

Could Dilly have found her Prince Charming?
