The creepy solicitor - who recently offered Harry £10,000 to sleep with him - has taken advantage of the teenage footballer, after he arranged for his boyfriend Ste ( Kieron Richardson ) to avoid prison for theft after he stole from The Tugboat, leaving Cameron furious. Despite avoiding being sent to prison, Ste was given a £300 fine, something far out of the newly homeless couple's budget, leaving James with an opening for his offer. After a row with Ste, Harry was forced to make the only decision he could James repeated his offer, enraging Harry "It doesn't make me any less inclined to get what I want, and what I want is you," the leery lawyer told Harry in the Dog afterwards, repeating his indecent proposal. Again, Harry ( Parry Glasspool ) refused, storming off telling James he would never give agree to his offer, but as it's Hollyoaks, soap events conspired and it all changed shortly after. Harry then begged Ste to ask Leela and Tegan if they can move back into the house but Ste wasn't exactly welcoming. At first it didn't seem like Harry was going to go through with it... Pushing his doubts aside, Harry grabbed James' hand and led him to the bedroom Like the cat that got the cream... Harry will probably regret this (Image: E4) Video Loading "I've got no money, no house, no options," Ste screamed as Harry tried reasoning with him. "We've got more at stake here than your pride, Ste," he told Ste, begging him to ask his sisters for help.

Though in an awful twist of fate, as Harry is with James, Ste tried again and he agreed to move back in with his sisters, getting him and Harry a home again. Meanwhile, Ste was settling in back home trying to call Harry "Fancy a drink?" trilled the truly awful solicitor before wittering on about dreaming about the moment. "I'd prefer the ten grand," snarked Harry. "Dare to dream whatever you want, that's free but I'm going to cost you," he said How will the couple cope with this? Will Ste find out about Harry's decision? Find out in Hollyoaks, weeknights on Channel 4 at 6.30pm and E4 at 7pm.

James Nightingale (Hollyoaks)
Reception.
Ellis opined that she was not surprised James is "such a wrong'un" after being raised by a "wicked and vindictive" mother. A fellow "Inside Soap" columnist said of James' scheming "there’s nothing we love more than a good soap schemer – and Hollyoaks’ James is on top form tonight. As well as helping mum Marnie with her plot to ruin the Hutch, he also has a shocking proposition of local hottie Harry! And whatever it is that James wants, he’s willing to shell out a stash of cash to get it…" Referencing James and Joanne's behaviour, another columnist stated "with Hollyoaks just packed with criminals and villains, it’s a real shame that the only lawyers in town are as corrupt as their clients." 
 A writer from "TV Soap" said that "whenever James makes an appearance in "TV Soap", he's always up to something super-sleazy". Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy branded James a "schemer" and that threatening other characters is his usual trick. He later commented that "schemer James" met his match in Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas).
