Frankie was feeling overwhelmed and distressed as she came to a big decision. She knew it was time to let go of the past and move forward, but it wasn't an easy choice to make. Trigger warning: This article discusses the sensitive topic of child sexual abuse.
The latest episode of Hollyoaks, now available to view on Channel 4 streaming, had a lot in store for its viewers. Frankie Osborne, after much contemplation, had resolved to drop the charges against her twin brother JJ, who had been abusing her for years. It was a difficult decision, but she had finally found the courage to do what was best for her own healing.
As the episode unfolded, viewers were taken on an emotional rollercoaster. Frankie bravely opened up to her father Darren about the abuse, and to her surprise, he believed her without a second thought. With the show having jumped one year into the future, JJ was about to face the consequences of his actions in court. Jack, who had been secretly meeting with JJ, was urging him to take responsibility and tell the truth in court.
But just as JJ claimed he was ready to do so, he collapsed at the courthouse and was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was devastating - he had leukemia. The news left Frankie in complete shock, and Darren was also struggling to come to terms with the situation. He found himself caught in a difficult position, torn between supporting his daughter and being there for JJ in his time of need.
In her state of distress, Frankie turned to alcohol and spent the night at The Loft with her friend Vicky Grant. The next morning, Darren was horrified to find her hungover and reminded her that she needed to stop drinking. But tensions rose when he asked if she wanted to go to the hospital to see JJ. Frankie couldn't bring herself to face him, still hurt by his betrayal.
Mercedes McQueen, a close friend of Frankie's, offered her some advice. She reminded her to go easy on Darren, who was still here for her, and not to take that for granted. With these words in mind, Frankie video called Lucas Hay, who was in a young offenders' facility for previously attacking JJ. She shared her decision to drop the charges, and Lucas, like the fans at home, was devastated for her. He tried to convince her otherwise, but she was determined to move on and let go of the past.
But the question remained - would her loved ones' words be enough to change her mind? Only time would tell.
