Tensions rise when Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) goes missing in tonight’s Hollyoaks on at 6.30pm (See our TV Guide for full listings). 

Darren was seen waking up in strange surroundings in yesterday’s episode. 

Tonight it’s unclear what his fate is as his captor tells him that he has seen too much and warns him that the real danger is with his partner. 

Who is holding Darren against his will and what do they want from him?

Meanwhile, Darren’s whereabouts divide Nancy Hayton’s (Jessica Fox) household as Darren’s father, Jack Osborne (Jimmy McKenna) seems to be the only one  worried about him.

Nancy agrees to help search for Darren.

However,  Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy) upsets Nancy as he struggles to recall the conversation he had with Darren about buying jewellery. 

Luke suggests to Nancy that Darren might be having another affair. 

Calling off the search, Nancy fears that Luke’s suspicions were correct as she comes home to a  handwritten note from Darren. 

What does the note say?

Meanwhile, DeMarcus Westwood (Tomi Ade) decides to buy something nice for Martine Deveraux (Kelle Bryan) but he’s short on money. He borrows some cash from Nate Denby (Chris Charles) and leaves Nate an IOU.

However, DeMarcus, who has been skipping school to hunt for his missing father Felix Westwood (Richard Blackwood), is unaware he is being watched from afar by his teacher.

Before long, DeMarcus’s mother, Viv turns up in Hollyoaks after being alerted. 

Could this mean that DeMarcus’s time in Hollyoaks is going to be cut short?
