Hollyoaks Darren Osbourne’s affair with Mandy Cunningham is more than a fling

Even though Darren knew about Luke’s secret, she forgave him enough to kiss him, and then head off to the back of Nightingales for a steamy romp.

Ashley Taylor-Dawson, who plays Darren, spoke to Metro.co.uk and revealed that the wedding night hook-up isn’t just a one-night stand.

He said: “It’s a strange relationship now that Darren and Mandy have found themselves in this position.

“Darren doesn’t mean to do anything bad. There’s always been feelings there between them, because Mandy was his first girlfriend and they’ve been there before. It’s the right time, right place, and right person.”

He went on to say that fans would have to wait and see if it develops into anything genuine.

He added: “It’s definitely not going to just be a one-night stand, though, because there are feelings involved. It’s going to be a very interesting year ahead.”

Ashley also pointed out that the writers hadn’t done a typical fling storyline as there’s so much history between everyone involved.

As well as dating Mandy previously, Darren has been best mates with Luke for years.

It was Darren who brought him back to the village last year after discovering Luke’s alcoholism.
