Hollyoaks is set to reunite one of its most popular, but tortured, pairings next week when James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) declares his love for old flame Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool), having initially rejected his ex's pleas for them to romantically reunite. But can the couple really make another go of things considering their complicated history?

Harry was embroiled in a torrid affair with the snobby lawyer last year while engaged to Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson), but couldn't extricate himself from his nuptials while his family were coping with the trauma of his half-sister Dee Dee Hutchinson fighting a life-threatening illness.

Eventually Harry's fling with James was exposed on the day of the wedding, but both the men in his life ended up dumping Mr Thompson and he fled the village for two months, returning at New Year. Determined to prove that James really was the one for him, Harry's pleas they pick up where they left off and make a fresh start were dismissed by the heartbroken legal eagle, who has had his hands full trying to reconnect with long-lost son Romeo Quinn (Owen Warner).
