February 08 2024 - Hollyoaks - James & Ste

The front page headlines are that the police are looking for a blue car in relation to Ella's death, and Ste is worried. Ste and James have been called in for a meeting with Carter about Lucas's behaviour, and Leah is worried about a counselling session later that day. Ste is distracted and James says he's worried about him, but Ste says he's just busy, also turning down Sienna's invite to spend time with her. He then gets a call from Kane about the car, telling him to meet him. Kane's figured out that the car Ste asked him to dispose of hit Ella and he's not happy that it could be linked to him. Scared about being found out, Ste threatens to kill Kane if he says anything, beating him up. James is on his way to the meeting with Carter when he sees Leah upset about the counselling session. James offers to sit in with her and she agrees. With James's support she is able to talk about her guilt about what happened to Ella. Back home, James questions why Ste didn't make the meeting with Carter and notices his knuckles are bruised and cut. Ste says it's work-related but James isn't convinced. Before he can question him further, Leah arrives back, giving Ste the excuse to say he's getting a take-away and leaving. As he makes his way through the Dog car park, he sees Kane, and the car, which Kane leaves him with just as the police arrive...
