Ollie is also finding it hard to face the music, and when hes given a proposition it looks like he might back out too. Footballer Arlo Watson says if he leaves town before the trial begins hell receive money and get the chance to play for Barcelona.
On the day of the trial Mandy and Darren go to collect him from his room but hes not there – has he given up his fight for justice in favour of furthering his career?
Speaking of acting out this tough storyline, Aeden Duckworth, who plays Ollie, said its been a positive experience overall.
Despite Ollies journey being very dark, the response has been a complete contrast, with an increase in male survivors speaking out, he said. As far as my personal experience with the storyline, its been a realisation that there is more to acting than just entertaining.
Speaking of Brodys attempt to get the right result for his harrowing story, actor Adam Woodward revealed it wont be a smooth ride.
He gives evidence to the best of his ability, but it doesnt go quite as planned, he said. Its the demon that has loomed over him his entire life, and now he has to face it. He hasnt been able to even look at him, and now he has to stare him down in front of everyone and say exactly what happened to him.

Damon, meanwhile, is having to go against his own dad in order to support his friend.
Its torture, actor Jacob Roberts said. He has to be the one who sends his dad to prison with this lie, whilst also having to support his best mate.
Its difficult, because its his dad and they developed a bond before he found out the truth. Busters his only parent after his mum passed away, so he obviously still cares about him.
Buster will be left feeling betrayed when Damon shows his support for Brody and Ollie instead of his own dad, even going as far as bending the truth in the hope of the right outcome.
Actor Nathan Sussex said it will be tough for the abuser to realise Damon has finally woken up to him.
Buster and Damon had only just started repairing their relationship after many years of Buster being absent, he said. Throughout the whole ordeal, Buster has manipulated Damon to believe everything he has told him, and I think it will be very hard for him to accept the fact that his own son has turned his back on him.
But will they get the outcome that they want or will Buster manage to worm his way out of getting the justice he deserves?
