Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) is left beside himself in Hollyoaks

next week when he sees with his own eyes the horror that Frankie (Isabelle Smith) has been subjected to.

Frankie, as viewers know, was targeted, manipulated and subsequently exploited by Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) and Grace Black (Tamara Wall) as part of their criminal operation.

After isolating her from her family, Grace manipulated Frankie and best mate Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) into having sex with men in exchange for money.

Darren was unaware of the ordeal that Frankie has endured over the past few months but Kat Omari (Sonia Ibrahim) enlightened him earlier this week, revealing that she was tasked with separating him from his daughter.

With Frankie currently missing, the race is on to find her and next week sees the Channel 4 soap serve up a thrilling conclusion to the exploitation story, as Darren comes to discover the location in which his daughter is being held against her will.

The above clip, taken from Monday’s (May 26) edition of the serial drama, sees the concerned dad make his way to Fernmere, where he encounters Kat once more.

In a bid to keep his identity a secret, Kat claims that Darren is a client as she leads him into the property and up the stairs towards a secret room, where he comes face-to-face with a traumatised Frankie.

Heartbroken, he comes to realise that Frankie is being sexually exploited.

Subsequent scenes will see Darren do everything in his might to get her out of the house undetected.

Dillon, Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence) and Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) have the same idea as they set in motion an escape plan.

As they cross paths with Darren and Frankie, the path to freedom is near – that is, until DI Banks’ (Drew Cain) cronies arrive.

A fight breaks out, with Darren and Robbie doing their utmost to protect everyone else and ensure their escape. But will they make it out alive?

Or is more tragedy on the cards?
