Frankie Osborne is left feeling upset and disturbed by the events that unfold as her abuser, JJ, faces court in Hollyoaks next week. Before diving into the details, it's important to note that this article contains discussions of child sexual abuse, so please proceed with caution.
As viewers know, Frankie has been a victim of JJ's sexual abuse since she was just nine years old. JJ used gaslighting and manipulation to silence Frankie and make her believe that no one would believe her if she spoke up. But after years of suffering, Frankie finally found the courage to open up to her father, Darren, who never doubted her for a second.
In light of Frankie's confession, JJ was banished from the Osborne family. However, Suzanne Ashworth, Frankie's mother, initially believed JJ's lies. It wasn't until the events of stunt week that she had a change of heart and shared a heart-to-heart with Frankie, confirming that she believes her daughter. Tragically, Suzanne passed away after this admission, leaving Frankie devastated by what had transpired.
Now, with Hollyoaks' reduced episode schedule, the show takes us one year into the future with a time-jump. This critically acclaimed storyline continues as Frankie seeks justice for the years of abuse she endured. However, one year on since Suzanne's death, JJ is still causing trouble. He uses his mother's passing as an opportunity to try and convince Frankie to lie in court and say that she made up the abuse.
Understandably, Frankie is appalled by JJ's audacity and storms off. At home, Darren worries that Frankie's behavior might hinder her chances of getting the justice she deserves. Meanwhile, JJ continues to manipulate the situation to his advantage. But Jack, Frankie's grandfather, steps in and tries to get JJ to plead guilty and take responsibility for his actions.
The big question remains: will JJ listen to Jack and finally face the consequences of his actions? The answer is still unknown. To make matters more complicated, on the day of the plea trial, JJ collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Will he pull through? And if he does, will he finally face the music?
In the subsequent episode, Darren finds Frankie at The Loft, where she spent the night with Vicky Grant. He tells her that they need to go to the hospital. Will Frankie finally get the justice she deserves? Seeking advice, Frankie turns to Mercedes McQueen, who encourages her to make things right with her dad. Will Frankie take this advice? And what lies ahead for JJ?
