JJ Osborne’s (Ryan Mulvey) trial commences in Hollyoaks next week as Frankie Osborne (Isabelle Smith) takes to the stand to bravely tell her story.

JJ gaslit his sister into keeping quiet, claiming no one would believe her. Frankie, however, bravely opened up to dad Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) and he never doubted her for a second. Following the Channel 4 soap’s time jump, JJ was diagnosed with leukaemia and he recorded a video confession, in which he admitted to his crimes.
