In December 2010, it was announced that Suzanne Hall would be reprising her role of Suzanne. It was announced that Suzanne would return pregnant with Darren's twin babies and give birth in the show's 3,000th episode. Speaking of his reaction to the storyline, Dawson commented: "I was shocked in the same way, but it's just typical Darren! It's great. Suzanne's return has come at a time when things are going alright for Darren for the first time in his life – he's settled down a bit, he's realised that he's going to go for it with Nancy (Jessica Fox) and everything seems to be going well. But in true Darren style, there's been a big spanner in the works. It makes for a very funny time ahead." In March 2011, it was announced that Suzanne would be departing Hollyoaks, along with Jack and Francine.
In January 2011, Suzanne returns from Spain heavily pregnant and tells Darren that she is expecting his twin babies. Suzanne goes into labour inside Look Sharpe and gives birth to a boy and a girl. Suzanne and Darren name the twins Jack and Francine, after Darren's father Jack Osborne (Jimmy McKenna) and his wife Frankie Osborne (Helen Pearson). Darren's ex-girlfriend Cindy Longford (Stephanie Waring) learns of Jack and Francine and offers Suzanne £100,000 to leave with them. Suzanne then refuses the money. She later tells Cindy she will leave in return for £200,000, to which Cindy agrees and Suzanne returns to Spain with Jack and Francine. At Suzanne's son Rhys Ashworth's (Andrew Moss) funeral, when Darren asks how the twins are, Suzanne says they have started talking, and he should come over and see them but Nancy said they have Oscar to think about. In February 2014, Darren went to visit Suzanne and the twins. In January 2024, Jack (now known as JJ) and Francine (now known as Frankie) returned to Hollyoaks.
Francine "Frankie" Osborne, portrayed by Isabelle Smith, is the daughter of Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) and Suzanne Ashworth (Suzanne Hall). Francine, along with her brother JJ Osborne (Reuben/Ryan Mulvey), are both born in the 3000th episode celebrations, originally broadcast on 21 January 2011. Suzanne, JJ and Frankie departed in episode 3039, originally broadcast on 17 March 2011. She was portrayed by a child actress named Lexi during her initial 2011 stint. On 10 November 2023, it was announced that Hall had reprised the role of Suzanne and that she would be returning along with the twins in January 2024. Isabelle Smith was cast in the role of Frankie for a "huge storyline". Of her casting, Smith stated: "I'm so excited to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks, it still hasn't sunk in! You should expect a lot of ups and downs with Frankie but all I'll say is, don't judge her too soon…" She returned in episode 6291, originally broadcast on 18 January 2024. Frankie shows hostility to Darren upon her return as she has felt abandoned by Darren for a majority of her life. In a scene from episode 6358, originally broadcast on 22 April 2024 revealed Frankie and JJ were rapidly aged by two years as Darren told Freddie Roscoe (Charlie Clapham) and Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) that Frankie is 15.
In February 2024, during a scene with Frankie and her grandfather Jack Osborne (Jimmy McKenna), Frankie accuses Jack of groping her. It was then announced on 8 March 2024 that in "a first" for Hollyoaks, they would explore sibling sexual abuse between Frankie and JJ. Executive producer Hannah Cheers said:
