Recently, British tabloid newspaper Metro.co.uk published an article under the title “Brutal Hollyoaks showdown confirmed as Warren Fox is ‘set to kill’ Ste Hay and James Nightingale over Ella’s death.”
It describes the whole storyline on why Warren wants revenge from James and his friend Ste and ended with the question, “who will be left fighting for their lives?”
“Will Warren shed more blood in his quest for justice? Or will Ste and James manage to live another day?”
The open-ended question left the audiences in worry and uncertainty if their favorite character James is leaving Hollyoaks, well, the official confirmation is yet to come.
Jamie Lomas aka Warren Fox announcement of leaving ‘Hollyoaks’ sparked discussion on James’ status on show
On March 2024, actor Jamie Lomas who was playing the character Warren Fox on the soap opera Hollyoaks made an announcement of his departure from the show.
As mentioned in the Sun, a close source said, “Jamie has been at the centre of some of the soap’s biggest storylines and has been back in Hollyoaks now for nearly eight years which is a long time.”
“It’s been a long stint which he has loved but with all the changes going on he felt the time was right to move on. He told bosses last week and they are already working on his exit storyline.”
The reason behind his decision is declared to be the severe episodes and budget cutting from channel’s side. Report also claimed that this would led the loss of jobs of around 135 cast and crew members of the show. If that’s the case, will Gregory Finnegan who played James Nightingale also quit the show?
James’ departure from the show ‘Hollyoaks’ hasn’t been declared officially
A British actor Gregory Finnegan who played the character James Nightingale in Hollyoaks recently wrote on his Instagram, “I love so many of the people that make this show. Behind the camera and in front.
“Whatever the future holds the relationships we have forged with each other and with our incredible, loyal audience, will endure. Super proud of everyone today and know brighter days lay ahead. Gx hollyoaks #channel4 #e4”
His caption somewhere seems to be indicating that he is doubtful with his future status in the show. But since he hasn’t officially announced his departure from the show, there’s still a high chance that viewers will see James Nightingale aka Gregory in coming episodes.
He had joined the Hollyoaks cast back in January 2016. His character won the heart of millions as a result, he even won the British Soap Award for the Best Actor Awards in 2019.
