One of Hollyoaks' longest-serving characters, Darren Osborne, is set to go through a "very serious mental health" storyline this autumn.
The soap will introduce a series of twists in and around the village, and Ashley Taylor Dawson's character will be a big part of what's coming up.

Spilling the beans to Radio Times, executive producer Bryan Kirkwood teased: "As it always should, stunt week starts as many stories as it pays off. Darren is about to embark on a very serious mental health story.
"His battle with depression goes into next year but the origins of that play across stunt week – although he doesn't realise it at the time. It sows seeds of his dissatisfaction."
Meanwhile, Kirkwood has also confirmed a huge exit during this year's stunt week, which is caused by the collapse of a crane.
What to Read Next
There will also be big developments in Breda's storyline, and the Scott/Mitchell/Cleo story, too.
And as Digital Spy recently revealed, the stunt follows immediately into another action-packed week as Mercedes McQueen is shot by an unknown culprit, sparking a major whodunit mystery.
Hollyoaks airs Mondays through Fridays at 6.30pm on Channel 4, with first-look episodes airing on E4 at 7pm.
