Meanwhile James' character Jean Paul is having a far more chaotic time in Hollyoaks.
John Paul's alcohol addiction came back with a vengeance last month.
All hell broke loose for the Hollyoaks High deputy headteacher as Charlie Dean had footage of the crash which could be incriminating.
To make matters worse, John Paul tried to organise a fundraiser for Freya's return to school, while the teen suffered from life-changing injuries after the crash.
John Paul started to crumble under the pressure when his blackmailer relentlessly comes after him, and turned to alcohol again.

Things got worse when he drunkenly crashed the stage while Freya was making a speech.
He then accidentally revealed his involvement in the crash to the whole school.
What is next for Jean Paul?
