Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) stuns his husband James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) when he makes an announcement that leaves James reeling in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
Earlier on, Ste is getting increasingly jumpy about the danger he is in after a masked gunman shot at his partner in crime, Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas).
However, Ste, whose trial for the death of Ella Richardson (Erin Palmer) is imminent, reluctantly joins a surprise barbeque that his friends and family have arranged for him.
But, worried about what the future holds for him, Ste can’t contain his emotions and he breaks down in front of Tony Hutchinson (Nick Pickard), Leela Lomax (Kirsty-Leigh Porter) and his family.
Ste shares his fears of prison with James and in a heartfelt conversation, he takes his wedding ring off and tells James he wants him to have a life without him.
