Nancy Osborne (Jessica Fox) has been losing hope of seeing her missing husband Darren (Ashley Taylor-Dawson) again ever since a car that he was last seen in was found abandoned by a local beauty spot.

In tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 7pm (See our TV Guide for full listings) Nancy is reeling when she is told by the police that Darren’s blood was found in the vehicle.

What has happened to Darren who has a history of depression?

And is he alive or dead?

Elsewhere, having fled the Lomaxes, Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) tells Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham) that Freddie’s brother, Robbie (Charlie Wernham) has taken Rex (Jonny Labey) away in a van.

Earlier on Rex admits to Robbie that he DID give Darren one of the stolen cars but that he didn’t tell anyone about Dave Chen-Williams (Dominic Power).

Robbie then tells Freddie that according to Rex, Darren was in a state about his dying son, JJ (Ryan Mulvey) when he was last seen leaving Hollyoaks.
