Hollyoaks' Frankie and Dillon in danger as bosses confirm dark child exploitation plot Hollyoaks is set to tackle the growing danger faced by young people in a pioneering new storyline.
Hollyoaks Executive Producer Hannah Cheers emphasised: "It is imperative that Hollyoaks is constantly talking to young people about safeguarding issues and ways in which abuse can infiltrate young lives.".
Frankie, a survivor of Sibling Sexual Abuse (SSA) inflicted by her twin brother JJ Osborne, has been left vulnerable to grooming due to the lasting impact of her trauma.
"The relationship between Frankie and Darren will be tested, and viewers will see Frankie attempt to make it on her own, potentially leading her into danger.
"Her best friend Dillon has also experienced a difficult upbringing, from being ostracised from his family home at 15 for being expelled, leaving him estranged from his parents, to becoming a teenage dad last year.
