Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks’ Darren Osborne and Robbie Roscoe could lose their lives next week, as the half-brothers are left for dead in a van.
As they make an emotional phone call to their loved ones, will the pair survive this stage of their ordeal?
In a huge week of episodes, Darren takes matters into his own hands to find his daughter Frankie, and he heads to the mansion house.
He is devastated to discover that Frankie is being sexually exploited and vows to get her out of this nightmare. Darren and Frankie bump into Vicky, Dillon and Robbie, who are all being held captive by DI Banks’ gang.
The group desperately search for freedom, but when the dangerous gang members show up, Darren and Robbie step forward to fight back as part of a huge showdown.
Things go very wrong, and new spoilers confirm that the injured brothers find themselves trapped in a van at a scrapyard with no way of escaping.
In the photos, Darren looks frightened while Robbie appears to be slipping in and out of consciousness – but conflicted Rex decides to give them a lifeline.
While Ste is being confronted by Nancy about his partner’s dodgy dealings, he gets a call from Rex. However, when he answers, it’s Darren on the other end of the phone instead.
Darren fills him in on the terrifying situation, explaining that he’s with Robbie and he thinks that they’re going to die.
With Darren’s disappearance causing panic in the village and Rex’s involvement in the operation exposed, Ste takes some of the heat himself.
He struggles to be the target of anger, while Lucas fights for his life in surgery. Shortly after, Ste’s day gets even worse when he is told that his son has suffered an unexpected bleed on the brain.
With Nancy taking the phone from Ste, Darren peeks through a hole in the van and describes his surroundings to his wife.
As the location of the van becomes clear, everyone breaks off to try and find Darren and Robbie. But will they be saved in time?
