Nancy returns to work as she doesn't believe Darren will ever come back to Hollyoaks

How will she react when Darren’s blood is found in the car?

 16-22 NOVEMBER

After Jack urges her to stay strong about missing Darren, Nancy doubles down on not telling Frankie that Darren is actually missing and not staying with his sister.

Robbie thinks Darren being missing is connected to him killing Dave as Darren’s abandoned car was one of his stolen motors and at the garage, Ste sees Rex and Robbie arguing and thinks Rex has killed James.

At school, Nancy returns to work and with the weight of the world on her shoulders, she tells John Paul she doesn’t think Darren will ever come back.

Meanwhile, having fled the Lomaxes, Ste tells Freddie that Robbie has taken Rex away in a van and Rex tells Robbie that he did give Darren one of the stolen cars, but didn’t tell anyone about Dave. And Robbie tells Freddie that according to Rex, Darren was in a state about JJ when he left.

Confused, Ste takes Rex into Dee Valley Law and locks him in, demanding answers about why he killed his husband James. After getting inside, Lucas begs Ste to come out as a distraught Peri waits outside.

At the police station, Nancy learns that Darren’s blood was found in the car.
