Hollyoaks has lined up a new romance for Frankie Osborne and Jacob Omari – but there's a big secret in store.
Jacob was last seen in the village back in March, when he was blackmailed into helping Rex Gallagher with his exploitation scheme.
Rex and his sister Grace Black targeted a number of young people, tempting them with a lavish lifestyle in order to traffic them. They soon set their sights on a vulnerable Frankie, and used Jacob to help charm her.
However, when Grace heard Jacob urging Frankie to move back home, the teenager later disappeared - with viewers unsure of his fate.
