Hollyoaks' actress Isabelle Smith is at the heart of the Channel 4 soap's harrowing abuse storyline at the moment
Actress Isabelle Smith joined the long-running soap opera Hollyoaks as Francine Osborne at the start of this year, and she's become an integral part of the Channel 4 drama in recent months.
She eventually told her mother, Suzanne Ashworth , of her brother's abuse, but the matriarch was reluctant to believe the teenager at first.The abuse began for Frankie at the age of nine, and viewers learnt the disturbing reality of the situation in March during scenes which were difficult to watch. She portrayed a character called Sonya in the Weatherfield soap in June 2022 for three episodes who was a love interest and classmate of troubled teenager Max Turner .
She tearfully shared: "It makes me quite emotional because through Instagram people reach out to me. And on TikTok, obviously, the storyline has gone viral on there, and we have so many people supporting us that way." Fans have compared the talented actress to Killing Eve star Jodie Comer who hails from Liverpool and has featured in huge TV dramas such as the BBC series Doctor Foster as well as Hollywood films like The Bikeriders which stars Tom Hardy and Austin Butler.
