Hollyoaks has shared which characters are placed in danger in the upcoming car crash stunt. The spring trailer for the Channel 4 soap has teased the chaos set to ensue over the coming months, including a new family arriving in the village and a crash that endangers the lives of six characters.
Recent scenes have seen Frankie Osborne confirm her shock exit from Hollyoaks village to move to London for dance school, with dad Darren Osborne overhearing her discussing the big move.
These storylines – as well as the return of Clare Devine – are all set to collide as part of the upcoming stunt that will change the lives of several villagers.

Upcoming scenes will see Frankie prepare to say her goodbyes before heading to London, with proud parents Darren and Nancy Osborne gifting her some new ballet shoes.
At the same time, new characters Beth, Jonah, and Caleb Keane arrive in the village, introduced to viewers as they pack their belongings, ready to surprise their family already living in Hollyoaks.
Frankie’s leaving party is hosted at the loft, where Darren makes an emotional speech, and Frankie is thrilled to hear that Charlie Dean and Vicky Grant have planned a date.
She bids farewell to her friends and family as Charlie sets off to get her to her train on time, with Vicky joining them for the journey.
However, Frankie realises while they are on the road that she has left her new ballet shoes behind, with Tony Hutchinson offering to drive to the station to catch up with them and hand the shoes over.

Doubting Jack Osborne’s navigation skills, Diane Hutchinson asks Leela Lomax to accompany the two men in the car.
At the same time, the Keane family is driving towards Hollyoaks, excited for a new start, when Caleb unfastens his seatbelt to find his phone charger.
Charlie’s car is behind the Keane removal van as Charlie speeds up to keep time, impatiently trying to overtake the vehicle.
Frankie goes to beep the horn, causing Charlie to swerve and clip the van, driving both vehicles off the road.
Leela, Tony, and Jack come across the overturned van over on the side of the road – but will all six of the characters involved come out of the wreckage unscathed?
