Hollyoaks spoilers: GUILTY! James Nightingale struggles to hold it together

James Nightingale

James Nightingale blames himself for Jesse's death and is starting to crack as Jesse's funeral looms. Is he about to blab?

James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) has been in a terrible state ever since he and Grace Black (Tamara Wall) shot Mercedes McQueen.

In tonight’s episode of Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings) he’s blind-sided when Courtney (Amy Conachan) asks if he’ll be coming to Jesse Donovan’s funeral the next day.

James blames himself for Jesse’s death as it was the revelation that he and Grace shot Mercedes that pushed Jesse over the edge.
