Earlier this week, Brody Hudson (Adam Woodward) was seen in a flashback revealing that he’d been to see abuser Buster Smith (Nathan Sussex) in prison.

Brody then told Ollie about Buster’s apology and the teen went to visit the evil abuser the next day.

But things didn’t go to plan when Buster said some horrific things to both Brody and Ollie.

Back in the present day, Cindy Cunningham (Stephanie Waring) then came across a letter from Ollie which she read to his dad Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy).

On Tuesday (September 22), it was confirmed that Ollie had run away to his mum’s house and was then removed from the opening titles.

During his time on Hollyoaks, Aedan has featured in some huge storylines including the sexual abuse by his football coach, Buster.

He also had baby Thierry with girlfriend Brooke Hathaway, but his son was put up for adoption.

This comes after it was revealed Imran Adams has quit the show as Mitchell Deveraux, while Rachel Adedeji left earlier this year.
