Frankie was absolutely devastated when her secret was revealed in a public showdown. Before reading any further, I want to warn you that this article contains a discussion of child sexual abuse. Now, back to Frankie's story. In the upcoming week on Hollyoaks, she will face a difficult challenge when her abusive past at the hands of her twin brother JJ is exposed in a very public way.
As viewers already know, Frankie courageously opened up to her father Darren earlier this month about the years of sexual abuse she endured because of JJ. Not only did JJ force her to keep quiet, but he also manipulated her into believing that no one would believe her if she ever spoke up. However, to her surprise, Darren never doubted her for a second.
Filled with horror and anger, Darren confronted JJ at Basswood Road, knowing the unimaginable pain he had caused Frankie. But unfortunately, Frankie's mother Suzanne refused to believe her daughter's story and even took Frankie's phone to hide any evidence that could support her claims.
Moving on, Frankie faces even more bad news when she learns that her spot at a prestigious dance school in London has been deferred for a year. This news hits her hard, especially because it means she will still have to attend school with JJ. But thankfully, Darren comes to her aid and shares a heartfelt moment with his daughter. Frankie tells him that having him as her father has been a dream come true.
Frankie also relives her traumatic experience and more information on sibling sexual abuse can be found on the SARSAS or Sibling Sexual Abuse Support websites, designed by and for survivors of SSA. Meanwhile, JJ vents his frustrations to Suzanne at The Dog and Frankie decides to confront them, bravely declaring that she will not hide from JJ and will return to school.
Enraged, JJ breaks into their home to confront Frankie, but Darren arrives and catches him in the act. He orders JJ to hand over his keys and warns him that he must tell Suzanne that he is quitting Hollyoaks High. A heated showdown ensues between Darren and Suzanne, with Ethan having to step in to intervene.
The next day at school, the Osbornes are divided and tensions rise when JJ shows up. Sally St Claire intervenes to find a solution, unaware of the real reason why JJ and Frankie need to be kept apart. JJ turns his anger towards Darren, accusing him of abandoning him. Nancy witnesses the confrontation, feeling confused and uncertain.
Through it all, Darren stands firmly by Frankie, knowing that she is telling the truth. But JJ takes it upon himself to manipulate Nancy by fabricating a story and claiming that Frankie has made false allegations against him. Nancy is left with a lot to think about and goes to speak to Darren about what JJ told her.
Left with no other choice, Darren decides that it is time Nancy knows the truth. As for what happens next, we will have to wait and see. Later in the week, Frankie and Darren bump into Suzanne and JJ at The Dog. JJ tries to manipulate Frankie, but Jack intervenes.
Frankie is heartbroken to see her mother standing by JJ, and as tensions rise, Suzanne calls out her daughter in front of everyone at the pub. Pearl Anderson, a stranger, reaches out to Frankie and reveals that her sister Ruby was also abused by her brother, and as a result, they have lost touch. Pearl offers her support to Frankie and confides in her, reiterating that her sister is the bravest person she ever knew for speaking up.
Feeling for Frankie, Pearl tells Suzanne that neither she nor JJ are welcome to stay with them anymore. As the argument spills outside, JJ turns against Suzanne, blaming her for ruining his life. Will this be the moment when Suzanne finally realizes that her daughter has been telling the truth all along?
