Hollyoaks is set to air a heartbreaking development in Ro Hutchinson's accidental stabbing of Oscar Osborne.
In recent scenes, Ro admitted carrying a knife for protection and brandishing against transphobic bully Arlo when Oscar entered The Dog and got involved. As Ro could be convicted for assault, he worries he would be sent to a female young offenders' facility.
In an upcoming episode, Ro tries to apologise to Oscar when he sees him in the village. Without his cochlear implant, a frightened Oscar is unable to hear Ro's plea and stumbles and falls over.
