Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Dillon Ray is set to make a horrifying discovery next week, as the soap’s exploitation story takes an even darker turn.
Dillon and Frankie Osborne are currently being groomed by a gang led by Rex Gallagher and Grace Black, with the teenagers being made to sell drugs to clients in exchange for luxury items such as a car.
Last week, a party guest called Cooper paid Rex a sum of money to spend the night with Dillon, beginning a harrowing new strand of sexual exploitation.

In scenes that will air next week, as Frankie teases Dillon about his latest one-night stand, Rex continues to do Grace’s dirty work, preparing to exploit both Dillon and Frankie.
But with things not progressing as quickly with Frankie, Rex blackmails Kat Omari’s son Jacob into helping him out.
Rex tells Dillon and Frankie that Jacob needs to stay with them for a while, and with Dillon out on a delivery, Jacob and Frankie grow closer.
The next day, Frankie tries to extend an olive branch to her new friend. As Jacob knows what lies in store for her, he suggests that she goes back home and makes amends with her dad – but Grace overhears this and offers to go with Frankie.
Frankie and Darren begin to repair their relationship, but a message about Oscar’s hospital appointment interrupts their conversation. With Darren gone, Grace waits with Frankie, and the two women bond over their vulnerabilities.
DI Banks tells Grace that he wants her to host a party for some important clients. Grace invites the two teenagers and she even gifts Frankie her necklace, alarmingly telling her that she will be her guest of honour.
Meanwhile, Frankie is concerned about Jacob, who didn’t return home and isn’t replying to her messages. Dillon invites his ex Lucas Hay to the party, who is undecided about going.
As Frankie and Dillon arrive at the party, Grace greets them and gives Frankie drugs. But there is a familiar face at the gathering, as Dillon soon spots Cooper.
Dillon is horrified to discover that Cooper paid Rex for the night they spent together, and he rushes to try and warn Frankie about what they have gotten involved in. But where is Frankie, and is Dillon too late to help his friend?
