Hollyoaks child ‘dead’ in horrific stabbing as Ro fights back- and it’s not Arlo

This article contains spoilers for Monday February 17’s episode of Hollyoaks, now available to view on All4. A horrific turn of events has seen young Oscar Osbourne left for dead after being stabbed. The nightmare ending came as he was caught up in a fight between Ro Hutchinson (Ava Webster) and his bully Arlo Fielding (Dan Hough). Cruel Arlo has been bullying Ro with abusive behaviour including deadnaming him and physically bullying him. Most recently, he has been forcing him to do his homework, with threats of violence if he doesn’t comply.

After a pep talk from his dad Tony (Nick Pickard), Ro prepared to face his bully Arlo as he headed back to school. Back at The Dog flat, Arlo found that Ro hasn’t done his work for him, and squares up to him threateningly. Meanwhile, Oscar headed up to see Ro, unaware of what was unfolding inside.

Up Next. Arlo mocked him, asking why he was able to chase him around his own house. It prompted a frightened Ro to pull out a knife, just as Oscar entered the room. As a struggle ensued between the bully and his target, Oscar was caught up in the mess and Ro was horrified when he was injured by his knife. Hearing the commotion, Diane (Alex Fletcher) raced up to the flat and was devastated to see Oscar on the floor, falling into unconsciousness.

Ro was terrified by what he’d done as he called an ambulance – but is it too late to save the youngster?. Elsewhere in the village, Frankie (Isabelle Smith) confronted Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) over his supposed affair. Darren apologised to Frankie but it looked like he has a lot to be sorry for as Frankie accused Darren of sleeping with Kat. Darren denied this, saying they just passed out after he was sick and drank too much but when Kat entered Price Slice, she didn’t back up Darren leaving him shocked.

Frankie learned Kat and Darren knew each other from Newcastle when he visited Charlie. Believing they had no interest in her but just each other, Frankie kicked them out of Price Slice. Later, Darren issued a further plea to Frankie to believe him but Frankie ordered him to tell Nancy (Jessica Fox) – or she will. Is this the end of the line for the popular couple?.
