Hollyoaks airs devastating Dillon and Frankie update in early streaming release

 The harrowing story continues.

Hollyoaks spoilers follow for Wednesday’s episode (March 19), which is available to watch now on streaming service Channel 4 and hasn’t yet aired on TV.

Grace encouraged Frankie to enjoy ‘consensual’ sex and falsely claimed that she had the opportunity to finally be in control.

Hollyoaks has aired a devastating development for Dillon Ray and Frankie Osborne, in the show’s latest episode.

As the soap’s exploitation storyline continues to intensify, this week DI Banks asked Grace to host a party for some important clients.

Having manipulated Frankie and stopped her from making amends with her dad, Grace invited the two teenagers to the party – even hailing Frankie as the ‘guest of honour’.

In today’s episode, Dillon and Frankie excitedly got glammed up ready for the party, but Frankie was worried that she still hadn’t heard from Jacob.

They ran into Lucas as they got picked up for the event and asked him to come to the party, but he was reluctant and said he would think about it.

Dillon and Frankie arrived at the lavish house and were given drugs by Grace. But Dillon soon made the disturbing discovery that Cooper had previously paid Rex to spend the night with him.

He took Frankie to the basement of the house and tried to warn her about what they were involved in, but she was quick to dismiss him.

The pair then heard screams from a locked room – with Robbie Roscoe being held hostage there – and as they were about to investigate, Grace stopped them in their tracks.

Frankie and Dillon confronted Grace about their fears, and she admitted that they were at the party to sleep with the party guests – but she manipulated the situation and disguised that they were being groomed.

Grace encouraged Frankie to enjoy ‘consensual’ sex and falsely claimed that she had the opportunity to finally be in control.

While Rex told Ste about his past experience of being exploited, the cycle continued as Frankie was convinced by Grace’s lies and went to another room with a partygoer.

Dillon still had his doubts, but he ultimately ignored a call from his ex Lucas and decided to have another sexual encounter with Cooper.

With Dillon and Frankie drawn further into Grace’s operation, will they be able to find a way out?
