Hollyoaks’ Darren receives huge ultimatum in early streaming release
Will he reveal the truth?
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Monday’s episode (February 17), which is available to watch now on streaming service Channel 4 and hasn’t yet aired on TV.
Hollyoaks’ Darren Osborne has received a huge ultimatum from his daughter Frankie, in the show’s latest episode.
In the previous episode, Darren gatecrashed Dillon and Lucas’ housewarming party, concerned as to why Kat was hanging around with Frankie.
While he is unaware of the situation, Kat is attempting to groom Frankie for Rex, as part of the soap’s current child exploitation storyline.
With Frankie mortified, Darren decided to join in with the party to prove he was still cool. But later, Frankie caught his dad in bed with Kat and was left devastated.
In today’s episode, Darren woke up with a hangover at Dillon and Lucas’ house. He returned home to a row with Nancy, who was furious that he had stayed out all night.
Frankie was also angry, so Darren went after her to apologise. He couldn’t remember what had happened last night, so Frankie reminded him – he slept with Kat.
Darren was adamant that he never cheated on Nancy, but he was horrified when Kat arrived at Price Slice and also claimed that they slept together.
She explained that they met back in Newcastle and implied that there was something going on between them. Frankie felt betrayed by both Darren and Kat, assuming that her dad disapproved of her new friendship to try and protect himself.
Kat approached Rex and said that she couldn’t help him with Frankie anymore. Rex realised that she might have developed real feelings for Darren. She attacked him, then Rex threatened that she had to continue if she wanted to see her son again.
Rex then used the cut on his face to get Dillon to help him find the ‘missing’ money – convincing him to steal from The Hutch.
Later, Darren continued to protest his innocence to Frankie and was hurt that she believed her new friend Kat over him.
As they argued, Nancy arrived home and wondered what was going on. “So you tell her,” Frankie told his dad, “before I will.”
Will Darren tell Nancy the truth?
