Hollyoaks has confirmed that Robbie Roscoe will betray his partner Vicky Grant next week, after the couple’s tragic loss.
Last year, Vicky discovered that she was pregnant – but she realised that the father was Robbie’s brother Freddie, who she secretly slept with a couple of times.
While she intended to have a termination, Robbie found out about the pregnancy and was excited about the prospect of becoming a father, so Vicky decided to keep the baby.

However, last month, Vicky tragically suffered a miscarriage, and she and Robbie were left devastated. Freddie was forced to grief privately and had an emotional chat with Vicky about their loss, but Mercedes overheard and learned the truth.
In scenes that will air next week, Robbie – who still doesn’t know about Vicky and Freddie’s affair – is continuing to struggle with his emotions.
Meanwhile, there are big changes on the horizon for Dillon, as Rex offers him the chance to move into James’ old place and he asks his boyfriend Lucas to move in with him.
With Ste wanting to take a more active role in baby James’ life again, Dillon is excited to be moving on without the responsibility of his child.
When Robbie, who never got the chance to meet his unborn baby, overhears Dillon talking about this new freedom he hits the teenager in anger.
As Robbie’s self-destructive behaviour continues, his brother Darren’s wife Nancy notices he is struggling and offers him a shoulder to cry on.
Dedicated Hollyoaks fans will remember that Robbie and Nancy had a brief romantic connection years ago, and in November actor Charlie Wernham teased that the show would explore the pair’s past in upcoming scenes.
Grieving Robbie gets drunk, and in his vulnerable state, he makes a pass at Nancy. With Nancy and Darren celebrating their anniversary this week, how will she react?
Elsewhere, Darren has much more to worry about, as he is concerned about his daughter Frankie’s new friendship with Kat – who he previously knew from his time staying with Charlie.
Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.
