Really wish James Nightingale was in a different soap. This deep & tortured character just needed investment from better writing but was reduced to dogs eating chocolate cake, hat box cash & becoming a plot prop. #Hollyoaks didn’t deserve him he was worth so much more 💔😓

@BlakeBeacham @Team__Oaks I thought this too after reading that! Given the actors are friends in actual life I’m now wondering if James has just returned for JPs exit 😫

@Team__Oaks Oh! I gotcha!

There's some comfort in knowing James is still the James we know and responds to Ste's rejection in a very James way. Now give me jealous Ste...

@BlakeBeacham @Team__Oaks Glad I read these comments because I was beginning to think James was a ghost if only appearing to people about to die or passing out (and Darren 🤔) not sure if I would’ve preferred it a bit more dragged out tho. I do fear this is just going to be a short return

@Team__Oaks Which I’m actually kind of glad about. I didn’t want Ste to think he was hallucinating or having another psychotic episode.

❤️🥹❤️‍🩹 #stames #Hollyoaks

@BlakeBeacham @Team__Oaks @_skyenapped @jknightfangal Ohhh… I’m sensing blackmail and messiness 🥴

@Team__Oaks @_skyenapped @James4EverAlwys @jknightfangal So, ready for his return! Wonder though how James has ties to Froggy?

Interesting... 👀 (Tues 6th Jan) #Hollyoaks

@Team__Oaks Pearl 😳 still…

So many questions. What's happening with Ste/Rex and Ste/Dillon at this point? Does Leela not know Lucas has been abusing Ste? Does Lucas not know about Ste and Dillon? Why no mention of James? 🤔

@Team__Oaks @jknightfangal Must.start.watching!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@James4EverAlwys @jknightfangal highly likely the ep where James returns drops Monday 22 Dec as part of the Xmas box set.

@Team__Oaks Excited for the teasers but I’m going to get PTSD if they’re going down that road again 😰

And so the teasers begin...

@che94552 @jknightfangal @Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham Ooooo 😁….. exciting times. Actually a reason to look forward to a trailer again!!

@jknightfangal @Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham @James4EverAlwys OA Friends????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is James back for Xmas 😯🙏👀 #Hollyoaks

@Team__Oaks Guess I need to tune in more often now just to keep track of what’s going on…. So I’m ready. Who knows which of stes relationships James will be bursting into 😂

@James4EverAlwys But I do think it's paving a way for a return. If it was as simple as a shocker purely for the 30th, they'd have left it with him telling Peri he was happy, had a new life, and Peri would agree no point Ste knowing. End of. James agreeing to wait for Ste and the stuff on Wed...

This bit from Metro's soaps newsletter made me laugh. They really were keeping it secret #Hollyoaks

@Team__Oaks Hopefully this is the case. It is all a bit contradictory because how can it be fleshed out but not certain it will happen. Altho I guess they’ve filmed stuff before that’s then been pulled so who knows

@James4EverAlwys I'm always sceptical when cast say they know very little, because often they do but obvs can't say anything.

@Team__Oaks Ahhh, then yes ☺️.

@James4EverAlwys I feel I need to add these last few scenes to acknowledge that his story didn't end with that explosion. Not removing anything.

Trying to decide whether to update my YouTube channel or leave it be....🤔

@Team__Oaks much hype because there’s a lot of ‘don’t even know if anything will happen’ around it. The interview says they’ve fleshed it out but also says they don’t know if it’ll happen 😕

@Team__Oaks I really don’t understand it! I love that it was kept a secret but it was nothing, pretty pointless. I love James and I’m over the moon he isn’t dead but out of all the axed characters I’m flummoxed why him if it was just a 30th cameo. It was a non event & didn’t even build too

@Team__Oaks Whaaat 😱. Glad I didn’t make a point of watching, how disappointing…. And a bit weird 😂. So James arrived from the dead to lurk in the village telling people no one should know but to let them know, just to leave on the phone to someone he loves….. cool 🤦🏻‍♀️

No James in Later. No Rex either. Ste admitting feeling something for Dillon and kissing him. Not happy 😠

@Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham So from the blast someone must have removed him surely

@Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham The only reason I can think he’s been missing would be to do with Romeo but given how long it took Ste to recover you’d think for a lot of the time he was away whatever was happening would have been out of James’ control. They can’t try to convince us he walked away voluntarily

I'm gonna need to know at least something about what those reasons for pretending to be dead all this time are, before he disappears again #Hollyoaks

@Jamielovessoaps @_skyenapped @liviciousx @BlakeBeacham 😱 one of the things that ruined stames for me was id convinced myself they hated each other & there’d been some crap BTS…. Doesn’t look that way does it ☺️

instagram.com/p/DQFA0eODOZ2/… @_skyenapped @liviciousx @BlakeBeacham Kieron and Greg together at the anniversary party yesterday! 😁

@_skyenapped @Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham Bless him 😂. I suppose at least it isn’t an affair I have to contend with at this point

@James4EverAlwys @Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham The ironic thing is Rex doesn't bother me anymore. Like he's kinda just there like a mildly annoying stray puppy no one particularly has any time for, which in itself is quite sad. I don't want him with Ste but like...somebody should probably take care of him.

@_skyenapped @Jamielovessoaps @Team__Oaks @BlakeBeacham @James4EverAlwys Greg did an interview with Inside Soap… sounds like there’s definitely potential for a full time return instagram.com/reel/DQEg_1PCE…

@GoodWitchLuzara @Team__Oaks When Diane wanted help & Tony was deciding between Marie & Merc made me think Diane may be the ‘she was injured more than we thought’ death. Then Tony has that guilt factor afterwards, then again what’s happening with brookside. Has Diane got a hidden identity or a doppelgänger?

@Team__Oaks @James4EverAlwys I feel like Marie wont die considering Arlo dosent find out until Wednesday about what happens i dont think. Like would he not be told straight away? Also I'm sure i saw she was filming at Brookside

Fully expecting a Marnie type situation tomorrow where someone seems fine, but then takes a sudden turn for the worse #Hollyoaks
