He wants to make contact with his daughter.
Hollyoaks spoilers follow.
Hollyoaks‘ Freddie Roscoe is set to make a shock discovery about his brother Robbie and his daughter Lexi.
Freddie returned to the village in March, after handing himself in and serving his time in prison for the attack on Nick Savage.
Last month, it was revealed that Freddie was engaged to Grace Black, who is currently in prison, and the pair are planning to elope with their children.
This includes Lexi, the daughter Freddie had with Lindsey, and who he doesn’t currently have access to following his prison stint.
In recent weeks, Freddie made contact with Lexi while she was at school, but didn’t reveal to her that he was her dad.
Now in scenes that will air next week, Freddie overhears Scott talking to Maxine about Vicky finding her biological dad, and finds it hard as he is missing Lexi.
While visiting fiancée Grace in prison, he tells her he can’t wait any longer to make contact with his daughter.
She encourages Freddie not to, telling him that they have to wait until their wedding day, but he doesn’t listen and tries to take action himself.
Freddie decides to follow Lexi from school, and when he finds her, he is furious to discover she is with his brother Robbie – who now has custody of her.
Robbie will make his return to the show later this week, with Charlie Wernham reprising the role after eight years away.
Later, Freddie tells Mercedes about Robbie and Lexi, and she decides to step in herself. She sees Lexi and calls out Robbie, who in turn tells her to back off.
Meanwhile, at the prison, Freddie and Grace argue over the children, with Freddie appearing to be losing his nerve over their elaborate scheme.
But why does Robbie have Lexi, and what will Freddie do next?
Lexi, who made her first appearance on the show last month, is played by Marnie Fletcher, the daughter of former Emmerdale star and Strictly winner Kelvin Fletcher.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
