Hollyoaks lines up a high-octane week jam-packed with twists, turns and dramatic scenes, as confirmed in our new spoilers, with the exploitation story thundering towards a shocking end.
Armed with new information, Darren and Nancy Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson and Jessica Fox) are on as mission to find out more about Frankie’s (Isabelle Smith) whereabouts.
After successfully obtaining such information, Darren heads off to Fernmere manor, where Frankie, Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass), Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) and Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) all plot their escape.
Storylines collide and lives are left in danger as the narrative in question concludes in a week that’s not to be missed.
And the events unfolding at Fernmere aren’t the only ones with a life on the line as Lucas Hay’s (Oscar Curtis) operation gets underway following his brain tumour diagnosis – and things take an unexpected turn.
For a full breakdown of what’s in store, I present to you my neat little episode guide.

Having realised that Frankie is in serious trouble, Darren and Nancy make it their mission to find out where she is, quizzing Rex for information. A subsequent text confirms the location they’re after: Fernmere mansion.
The concerned parents waste little time in notifying the authorities but in doing so word of their mission falls into the wrong hands, with DI Banks subsequently setting in motion operation clear out as he makes plans to abscond with his wife and their adopted daughter Tori.


But little does the dodgy detective know that Diane is right on his tail as she follows him to Fernmere!
Banks isn’t the only one making a run for it as Grace gets rid of all evidence she was involved in the operation and sets about getting in touch with the detective’s associates in a bid to get them to take over the mission.
Rex, who has come up with a plan with Dodger and Donny, agrees to go with his sister as they set off together.
Darren, meanwhile, arrives at the manor with Kat, who helps him in locating the hidden room upstairs. The reality of Frankie’s situation dawns on the devastated dad as he covers his daughter up and vows to get her out.

Doing so, however, will prove more difficult than he imagined.
Also at Fernmere, Dillon, Vicky and Robbie set in motion their own escape with a plan that brings them right to Darren and Frankie. The group prepare to leave the manor behind but things take a turn when DI Banks’ cronies arrive.

A fight ensues, with Darren and Robbie taking the lead on fighting back. Darren’s fate in particular is left up in the air.
Meanwhile in the village, Lucas has another seizure ahead of his surgery but the doctors are still intent on doing the procedure.

Confused, Ste has no idea what Nancy is talking about and his attention is elsewhere when the doctors state that Lucas has suffered an unexpected bleed on the brain.
Rex, meanwhile, breaks down in front of Grace, berating her for her actions as he explains that she is continuing a cycle of abuse.
