The ITV soap previously revealed that Lydia Dingle will be attacked by a recently re-acquainted childhood friend, Craig
Emmerdale star Karen Blick has shared her honest first reaction to her upcoming storyline which will see her character raped. The ITV soap revealed last week that Lydia Dingle will be attacked by a recently re-acquainted childhood friend.
He has since offered her a job cleaning at his gaming firm, much to the delight of stepson Samson who is after some work experience and much to the dismay of her husband, Sam.But Lydia and Craig will continue to bond and talk about their baby before his behaviour turns sinister and he forces himself on her. And viewers will then see Lydia grapple with the aftermath of her ordeal as she weighs up whether or not to report the assault to police.
"The research, preparation and aftermath of this story has been challenging and eye-opening for me. One in four women have been raped or sexually assaulted as an adult, and after reading this statistic I found myself standing in the canteen at ITV looking around as that figure really shocked me." "It’s an important story that needs telling,’ Karen insisted, "but then this terrible thing happening to somebody you are so close to and the repercussions for that character going forward," she added.
