Hollyoaks airs another big set of episodes for Frankie and JJ Osborne's dark storyline next week.

The Channel 4 soap is planning another major turning point in the sibling sexual abuse plot, as Frankie's tragic ordeal is revealed to Nancy and the rest of the village.

With an imminent move to London now off the cards, this means Frankie going back to school with JJ at Hollyoaks High, so she's distraught over the troubling situation.

After receiving further help from her father Darren, brave Frankie confronts JJ and her unsupportive mother Suzanne.

Frankie tells JJ and Suzanne that she refuses to hide from her brother and will be at school the following day as planned.

Darren doesn't think this situation is sustainable, so he warns JJ to quit Hollyoaks High of his own accord and let Suzanne know.

Continuing to play the victim, JJ confronts Darren at The Dog and accuses his dad of abandoning him.

Darren replies with some home truths, which Nancy witnesses.

As Nancy seeks an explanation for the argument, JJ lies to her by claiming that Frankie made a false allegation against him.

Nancy checks this out with Darren, who decides that it's time to tell her the full story.

Later, Darren picks up Frankie after her first day back at school and brings her back to The Dog.

Suzanne loses her temper and insensitively rants about the abuse allegations, which is overheard by the whole pub. Frankie is horrified, as this was the last thing she'd wanted.
