ollyoaks next week, claiming that he has imagined a very real conversation.
Ste, as viewers know, was diagnosed with psychosis following a year-long coma as he struggled to accept that husband James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) was dead.
Rex, who has long had hopes of a future with Ste, vowed to support him in the aftermath, with the two men recently moving in together.
Ste urged his new beau to be honest with him from here on out to give them the best chance of success, but he remains unaware of what Rex up to.
As fans are aware, Rex is working for Grace Black (Tamara Wall), grooming the teens of the eponymous village as part of a child exploitation operation, targeting Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith) and Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass).
The gangster has been having second thoughts, however, having started to like the prospect of a life with Ste – and next week, he tells Grace that he wants out.
Ste, meanwhile, overhears a conversation and – coming to believe Rex has a target on his back – he swiftly shares the update with his boyfriend.
Not wanting Ste to know about his involvement in the illegal operation, Rex proceeds to gaslight his partner into believing that he simply imagined it.
Afterwards, Rex turns his attention to Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham), confronting him over a phone call, before ultimately informing Grace that he no longer wants a life of crime.
Grace, however, manipulates him once more.
