Hollyoaks<\/a> is set to air a violent showdown between Rex Gallagher and Darren Osborne following a dramatic fire at the Osborne house. <\/p>\n

Recent weeks have seen Darren’s daughter Frankie and Dillon Ray being exploited by siblings Grace and Rex<\/a>, who have been tempting them with lavish gifts. The vulnerable teens were encouraged to deal drugs, which they quickly became hooked on themselves. <\/p>\n

Frankie and Dillon later discovered that clients were paying Grace and Rex for sexual encounters with them. Grace introduced Frankie to a man called Ray<\/a>, who she claimed could further Frankie’s aspiring dance career. <\/p>\n

After being invited back to the house, Ray called his friend to join but overwhelmed Frankie lashed out and locked herself upstairs. Meanwhile, Rex recently had a crisis of conscience and has been secretly trying to help the teens out of their dangerous situation. <\/p>\n

In next week’s episodes, Grace tells Frankie that she’s secured her another chance with Ray. Frankie agrees to meet with him but before anything happens between them, Ray suddenly collapses. <\/p>\n

After being caught at the scene, Rex tells Frankie and Dillon to disappear for good for their own safety. But before Frankie can leave, a brick smashes through the Osbornes’ window, leaving Nancy and Darren shaken.<\/p>\n

The attack escalates as a fire breaks out in the family home. With Darren extinguishing the flames and Nancy<\/a> at breaking point, Frankie finds an opportunity to quietly slip away.
<\/p>\n

Later, things turn physical when Darren spots Rex with Dillon, and demands answers about his daughter. Meanwhile, Grace assures Frankie she had no involvement in the firebomb and promises to help her escape.<\/p>\n

At the market, Dodger breaks up the fight between Darren and Rex. Battered Rex confides in Dodger and admits he’s trying to protect the teens. Will Dodger reveal his undercover identity<\/a> in order to help? <\/p>\n
