After enduring years of abuse, Frankie is finally ready to speak out. Fans of Hollyoaks have been eagerly waiting for someone to notice the horrific sexual abuse she has suffered at the hands of her own brother, JJ. And now, the show's boss has confirmed that the truth will finally be exposed.
But viewers won't have to wait much longer. As JJ's football skills land him a club signing, Frankie is sickened by the fact that he can continue on with his life. Darren, her husband, starts to notice her reserved behavior and how she flinches around her brother. This leads to Frankie confiding in him and sets off a chain of emotional events that will bring JJ's terrible actions to light and send shockwaves through the village.
In an exclusive interview with The Agency, producer Hannah Cheers expressed her pride in tackling the sensitive topic of sibling sexual abuse and paving the way for Frankie's disclosure in August. She also praised the phenomenal performances of the cast, which she believes go above and beyond what she had hoped for. Above all, she hopes that the story will encourage more conversations about a rarely-talked-about form of abuse within the home.
The upcoming episodes will follow Frankie's journey as she musters up the courage to reveal the abuse she has suffered at the hands of her twin brother, JJ. Isabelle Smith and Ryan Mulvey, who play newcomers, have worked tirelessly on this storyline. Meanwhile, Ashley Taylor Dawson's portrayal of Darren, a father coming to terms with the truth, will take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster.
New pictures from the scenes show Frankie clinging to her father for safety after exposing her vulnerability. Darren holds her tightly, trying to process the horrors of what he has just learned and wondering how he can help her. But this is just the beginning of a long journey for Frankie, as she must face the emotional consequences and ramifications of her disclosure.
As the storyline continues, there are many questions that need to be answered. Will everyone believe Frankie? Will JJ be punished for his actions? How will the rest of the family react to the revelations and what impact will it have on their relationships? It's sure to be a blockbuster summer for Hollyoaks.
But the show has more in store, with record-breaking ratings in July and a game-changing time-jump and switch to a digital-led three-episode model. Speaking with enthusiasm, Hannah promises that the next few months in Hollyoaks will be filled with unpredictable, joyous, heart-breaking, and adrenaline-filled drama. And with the ability to stream and watch on YouTube, the show is no longer constrained by traditional soap schedules.
