In moving scenes, Romeo Nightingale (Owen Warner) opens up to his younger sister Juliet (Niamh Blackshaw) in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings).
Romeo has been feeling terrible about ignoring his family to spend so much time with his new girlfriend Rayne Royce (Jemma Donovan) and this hasn’t gone down well with his father, James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan).
In yesterday’s episode, James gave Romeo a stark ultimatum and told him he needed to choose between his girlfriend or family.
Tonight and feeling pushed to make a decision, it looks as if Romeo is going to take the easiest option.
He decides he needs to help his girlfriend Rayne give her thousands of followers what they want.
The two of them are soon sharing a live update on why they’ve not been online so much recently.
Juliet feels betrayed when she sees him busy creating online content and tells Romeo she needs to speak to him.
As the siblings come face to face, Romeo finally admits the truth to his little sister.
He tells Juliet that he doesn’t feel strong enough to deal with her cancer diagnosis and confesses that spending time with Rayne away from the family, helps him forget the reality and heartache of what is going on.
How will Juliet react to her brother's candid confession?
