As the truth of JJ's abuse towards his twin sister Frankie came to light, Darren couldn't help but lash out in anger and disbelief. This article contains sensitive content, as it discusses the topic of child sexual abuse. Viewer discretion is advised. In Friday's episode of Hollyoaks, which is now available to watch on Channel 4's streaming platform, Darren finally discovers the horrifying truth about JJ's actions.
After enduring unspeakable abuse at the hands of her own brother, Frankie musters up the courage to confide in her father. She immediately regrets her decision, fearing that Darren won't believe her. However, to her surprise, he wholeheartedly does. Despite her desire to keep this secret buried, Darren struggles with the weight of this knowledge. And when the opportunity presents itself, he decides to confront JJ, who has no idea that his father is aware of his heinous actions.
JJ, who is still on cloud nine after getting signed, asks his dad for a ride to a party. Little does he know, Darren is about to shatter his world. As they sit in the car, Darren makes it clear that he knows about JJ's abuse towards Frankie. In a desperate attempt to save himself, JJ tries to deflect the blame and discredit his sister, reminding Darren that Frankie had previously accused Jack of the same thing. But Darren knows better than to fall for this manipulation tactic, and he can't believe the lengths JJ is willing to go to in order to hide the truth.
In a fit of anger and frustration, Darren confronts JJ, demanding that he tell the truth. But JJ's true nature is revealed as he becomes aggressive and defensive. In that moment, Darren sees his son for who he truly is. Knowing that this secret can no longer be kept, Darren calls in Suzanne Ashworth, Frankie's grandmother, to Basswood Road and reveals the truth about JJ's abuse. Heartbreakingly, Suzanne refuses to believe Frankie and even goes as far as to call her own daughter's claims "disgusting." She helps JJ pack his things while Darren tries to reason with her.
Despite her mother's betrayal, Frankie stands her ground and refuses to back down. As she and JJ leave, she can't help but cry as her mother walks out of her life. But Darren, as always, is there to console her and promises to stand by her side. As the episode concludes, the devastating consequences of JJ's actions begin to unfold.
