Hollyoaks viewers are in for an intense ride as Rex continues his manipulative reign over Dillon and Frankie Osborne.
The sinister figure has been preying on the vulnerable teens, luring them into a criminal lifestyle with promises of luxury and excitement.
However, with danger lurking around every corner, the stakes are higher than ever.
Rex’s Sinister Scheme Unfolds
Rex has been working under the orders of two dangerous figures—Grace Black and corrupt police officer DI Banks. His ultimate goal?
To exploit young and impressionable teens for his criminal empire. His latest victims, Dillon and Frankie, have become deeply entangled in his web of manipulation.
After successfully coercing Dillon into drug use, Rex extended what appeared to be a generous offer—free accommodation at Weirside View. However, this so-called generosity quickly turned into a trap when Rex falsely accused Dillon of losing a bag filled with valuable goods, leaving the teen with a fabricated debt of thousands.
Frankie, on the other hand, moves into the property after a heated argument with her father, Darren Osborne. Believing Darren had been unfaithful to Nancy with Kat Omari, Frankie sees Rex’s offer as an escape from family drama. But she’s unaware of the dark path she’s walking down.
Lucas Uncovers the Truth
As Dillon and Frankie sink deeper into Rex’s control, Lucas begins to piece together the sinister reality. Upon discovering that Rex owns Weirside View and learning about Dillon’s drug use, Lucas becomes increasingly alarmed. Fearing for his friends, he takes drastic action by calling the police on Rex in hopes of breaking the villain’s grip over them.
However, Dillon and Frankie’s loyalty to Rex remains intact. Instead of seeing the warning signs, they choose to trust him and inform him of the police investigation. This allows Rex ample time to cover his tracks and remain undetected.
Rex Pushes the Teens Further into Crime
Despite Lucas’ best efforts, Rex stays focused on his mission. He takes his manipulation to the next level, tasking Dillon and Frankie with selling drugs at a party. The situation quickly spirals out of control when Frankie spots Oscar, who she immediately urges to leave, fearing for his safety.
The chaos intensifies when Oscar encounters Ro Hutchinson, who attempts to apologize for a past incident. But the already-frightened Oscar, struggling with a damaged cochlear implant, becomes overwhelmed. In his disoriented state, he stumbles and falls, adding yet another layer of tension to the night.
Will Dillon and Frankie Escape Rex’s Clutches?
As Rex tightens his grip, Frankie and Dillon begin to question their involvement. However, just as they consider breaking free, Rex tempts them once again with enticing rewards, reinforcing his hold over them.
Meanwhile, Lucas remains determined to rescue his friends from Rex’s dangerous influence. But with Dillon and Frankie still under Rex’s spell, will they heed his warnings? Or will they be dragged even deeper into a world of crime and deception?
