2026 05 April 27 - Hollyoaks - James & Ste

James and Ste wake up together at Dee Valley Law. While Ste discovers lots of missed calls from Rex, James is hopeful for more. They continue where they left off back at Leela's, and James asks Ste not to marry Rex, and to choose him instead. Leela interrupts their conversation and kicks James out. Rex then shows up and Ste is conflicted, about to tell him about James but Rex interrupts and instead tells Ste about Grace and Fraser being his birth mother and father, and that he didn't tell him because he thought Ste would find him disgusting. Ste comforts Rex, and later is conflicted about what to do. He then goes to meet James and tells him that he chooses Rex. James points out that their night together was like old times and meant something, but Ste chooses to ignore that and reiterates that he chooses Rex and never wants to see James again. James then drives off, Ste watches him go and then leaves, and we see that Rex has overheard everything...
