Tonight's (November 17) Hollyoaks streaming episode saw a breakthrough in Darren Osborne's ongoing financial trouble storyline.
Darren has been increasingly worried about money recently, with things coming to a head when a debt collector called at his home looking for him.

"Please don't do this," warned Ethan, after Norma suggested a trouble-filled solution to Darren's debts. "It ain't worth the hassle, this isn't you."
"Not providing for my kids, letting everyone down, is that me?" replied an agitated Darren, intent on providing for his family, no matter the cost.
Later when a cash drop off didn't go to plan for the village stalwart, Felix and Warren were on hand to help, advising Darren to tell his family about his financial difficulties.

"It's bad, it's really bad."
