[edit] Description

Very impulsive and not blessed with a lot of forethought, Darren has a tendency to make enemies due to his headstrong nature and his arrogance. Darren also feels constantly hard done by and seeks to prove himself through get rich quick schemes and forcibly asserting his independence in order to try and win Jack's approval.

[edit] Character History

Darren first arrived in Hollyoaks, with parents Celia and Jack Osborne from America and decided to stay here for a while. He immediately became a friend of Luke Morgan as they both shared the love of football. At the same time, Darren and sister Ruth embroiled themselves in something of a family feud with the Patricks, who were also living under Jack's roof.

Darren displayed the bigoted side of his personality when he discovered that Gina Patrick was gay, but his personality went from bad to worse when he found out that Luke had been raped. He decided to take the opportunity to steal Luke's girlfriend Mandy off him, and even started hanging around with Luke's attacker – Mark Gibbs.

When Darren left Hollyoaks to go back to America, he left behind a lot of broken friendships and ill-feeling. After four years, Darren decided to make a dramatic return in Hollyoaks and he was all set to cause trouble back in the town. When Dan Hunter was sent to prison, he broke up with his girlfriend, Debbie Dean. Confused and heartbroken, Debbie turned to Darren and the pair grew closer as the weeks went on. The pair finally slept together, however, as Darren confessed his love for her, she revealed that she was still obviously in love with Dan after accidentally replying with "I love you too Dan". Darren was devastated and broke up with Debbie.

He has broken step-brother, Craig's heart by sleeping with his girlfriend Darlene. Darren has also recently been provoking Jake Dean over the situation with Becca. Darren eventually pushed Jake too far and was almost punched by him. However, Jake missed and hit Jack instead. When a fire occurred in the Dog on September 8, Darren valiantly tried to fight it, but to no avail. Since Steph's recent dalliance with fame, Darren is currently her agent, although he is rather incompetent and seems to be keeping a large wadge of Steph's earnings for himself.
