Hollyoaks to air three more returns after Hannah Ashworth news

Hollyoaks spoilers follow.

Darren Osborne's life is about to be turned upside down in Hollyoaks, with his twin children Jack and Francine and their mum Suzanne Ashworth all soon returning.

Neither his son nor daughter have appeared on screen before, while actress Suzanne Hall's character was of course Darren's mother-in-law who he had an affair with, and who, after giving birth to Jack and Francine, fled to Spain back in 2010.

This caused major trouble for Darren at the time who was married to Suzanne's daughter Hannah (played by Emma Rigby), was recently confirmed to also be returning to the soap after 13 years when photos of her on set emerged.

Rigby, who went on to star in The Counsellor opposite Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz, was pictured on set hugging Ste Hay actor Kieron Richardson just this week.

According to The Sun, this major new storyline also reunites Darren with his wife Nancy Osbourne and Theresa McQueen, as cast members Jessica Fox and Jorgie Porter come back from their maternity leave too.

This comes at a challenging time for Darren who is experiencing financial stress due to the medical treatment his baby daughter Morgan is undergoing in the US with Nancy, and next week's scenes see a debt collector pay the family a visit.
