As the trial of JJ Osborne looms, viewers of Hollyoaks can expect some harrowing scenes as Frankie Osborne takes the stand to confront her abuser. Trigger warning: This article delves into the sensitive topic of child sexual abuse.
For years, viewers have known that Frankie was subjected to sexual abuse by her own twin brother JJ. But it wasn't until the siblings moved to Hollyoaks that the truth came to light. In a twisted attempt to protect himself, JJ manipulated Frankie into keeping quiet by convincing her that no one would believe her. However, Frankie found the courage to confide in her father Darren, who never once doubted her.
Following the soap's time jump, JJ was diagnosed with leukaemia and his guilt led him to record a video confession. Finally, after all this time, Frankie was able to donate her bone marrow to JJ, who is now well enough to stand trial. The highly-anticipated courtroom showdown is set to take place next week, and Frankie is ready to face her abuser and seek justice for the trauma she endured.
On the day of the trial, Frankie assures Nancy and Darren that she is prepared and determined to tell her story. As she enters the courtroom, the heartbreaking scenes unfold as she recounts the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of her own brother. She also reveals the reason why she finally felt safe enough to reveal the truth to her father, who watches from the gallery with a heavy heart.
As the trial progresses, Darren, Nancy, and even Jack are called to the stand to testify. However, the real shock comes when JJ takes the stand and delivers his testimony, leaving everyone in the courtroom stunned. The scenes, which were teased in Hollyoaks' New Year trailer, leave Frankie devastated.
As the dust settles, the Osborne family anxiously awaits the jury's decision. Finally, the verdict is in, and the question remains: will JJ be found guilty? And will Frankie finally receive the justice she deserves? Viewers can tune in to Hollyoaks streaming on Mondays to Wednesdays at 7am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch the episodes on TV at 7pm on E4.
