Hollyoaks stars Ste Hay and James Nightingale could be set for a devastating split, AI has claimed.

The fan-favourite couple, played by Kieron Richardson and Gregory Finnegan, first met when James moved to the village in 2016. Since then, the pair have gone from strength to strength, becoming engaged and then tying the knot.

However in the famous Cheshire village this week, things take a turn for the worse for the pair who will be more at odds than ever. And it’s not looking good for them.

As viewers will recall, James ordered a brutal attack on Brent (Jesse Fox) in jail for kidnapping Peri Lomax (Ruby O’Donnell). Lucas (Oscar Curtis) ended up recording James discussing his involvement in Brent’s assault.

He then used it to blackmail his stepdad into giving him everything that he wanted. If he didn’t comply, Lucas threatened to tell Ste. The truth finally came out though. Ste found out about the attack and that his own kids had been blackmailing his beau.

Attempting to get back into Ste’s good books, James booked them a holiday to Benidorm. However, Ste realised the holiday didn’t include his children.

Angry at his kids being excluded, he was not happy and fumed at James, telling him to stop somewhere else for the night. Heartbroken, James ended up at the Lomaxs.

However things went from bad to worse when after sitting down for a heart-to-heart, Ste blurted out to Ste that he married him, not his kids. Upset, James stormed off but when he returned home he found out the locks had been changed.

The following day Ste returned home to find that James and snuck in. However, in a shock move, James had packed up his son Lucas’ belongings.

He then insisted that it would be easier to sort out their marriage if Lucas was not there. Upset that his husband was trying to kick his son out, Ste got James alone but things got heated and he stormed out.

Now, it’s been claimed that Ste and James could be splitting up, no doubt leaving fans devastated. Daily Star has quizzed one of the world’s most popular artificially intelligent “creative” tools Bard AI, to see if Ste and James could be splitting up.
