Hollyoaks spoilers follow from Friday's episode on Channel 4 streaming, which doesn't air on E4 until Monday.
Hollyoaks has aired another twist in Frankie Osborne's sexual abuse storyline, as the teenager confides in Freddie Roscoe.
Shortly after their arrival to the village, viewers were shocked to discover Frankie was being abused by her twin brother JJ. Since then, JJ has continued to terrorise his sister, even landing her in hospital after hitting her over the head.
Recent episodes saw JJ collapsing in front of Frankie, who left him on the floor instead of calling 999. After being taken to hospital, JJ told Frankie that he knew she had left him to die.

Later, the twins threatened each other, with Frankie saying she'd tell Darren about JJ's abuse, while JJ said he'd reveal what happened when he collapsed.
What to Read Next
Tonight's (July 19) streaming episode saw Darren still angry at Frankie, after overhearing her tell JJ she wished he would die. Despite this, Frankie was relieved by the start of the school holidays, as she planned to stay with her sister Hannah in London.
However, her relief was short-lived when she saw JJ cuddling Lexi, who Darren has been looking after while Freddie is in the hospital. Worried about what JJ might do in her absence, Frankie told Darren she isn't going to London.
"I just want to stay and keep her company during the school holidays," she explained to her parents.

Later, a concerned Frankie decided to visit comatose Freddie in the hospital. "I really need you to wake up now. Please. It's really important," she pleaded through her tears.
"They all think that I'm the one that would be a danger to Lexi, but it's not me they need to be scared of."
Frankie continued sharing her worries as Freddie lay unconscious. "JJ swears that he'd never do to her what he's spent years doing to me, but what if he does?" she cried. "What if he touches her?"
Suddenly, in a shock twist, Freddie's eyes began to twitch, seemingly as a reaction to Frankie's confession.
Does Freddie now know JJ's dark secret?
