Nancy Pregnant with Second Child Amid Divorce from Darren – Chooses Abortion to Finally Break Free
Hollyoaks is set for another emotional rollercoaster next week as Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) faces a life-altering decision amidst her crumbling marriage to Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson).
Already determined to divorce Darren after believing he cheated on her earlier this year, Nancy receives yet another blow – she’s pregnant. While viewers know Darren maintains his innocence, claiming Kat Omari (Sonia Ibrahim) set him up to sabotage his relationship with daughter Frankie (Isabelle Smith), Nancy remains unconvinced.
In upcoming scenes, Nancy secretly hides a positive pregnancy test and opens up to Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), admitting she conceived following a brief reunion with Darren. Far from overjoyed, Nancy confesses her regret and reveals she has no intention of keeping the baby.
Mercedes encourages her to be honest with Darren, suggesting she needs to decide what kind of future she really wants. But just as Nancy starts to consider her options, a shocking encounter at the hospital turns everything upside down: she bumps into Kat – who’s also pregnant.
Desperate to know the truth, Nancy confronts Kat and demands to know if Darren is the father. Kat says nothing – before being swiftly whisked away by one of DI Banks’ (Drew Cain) henchmen, deepening the mystery surrounding her and the secrets she holds.
Meanwhile, Oscar (Noah Holdsworth) faces his upcoming surgery with growing anxiety, particularly over Frankie’s sudden disappearance. Darren is also consumed with concern, especially after realising Frankie left for a supposed holiday without her passport – a detail that doesn’t add up.
Tensions flare between the former couple as Darren’s distracted state infuriates Nancy during a heated argument by their son’s hospital bed. But before the week is over, another twist hits the Osborne household: Kat, bruised and visibly shaken, turns up at Basswood Road.
Despite her anger, Nancy agrees to let Kat stay the night, sensing she holds vital information. Her instincts prove right when Kat, wracked with guilt, confesses she intentionally cut Frankie off from her family – leaving the teen dangerously vulnerable.
Now, Nancy is faced with a series of harrowing questions: Can she finally believe Darren was telling the truth? Will Kat’s revelations bring them any closer to finding Frankie? And most of all – will Nancy go through with the abortion, or is there a future for her and Darren after all?
The drama in Hollyoaks is far from over, and Nancy’s next steps could change everything.
