Jacqueline Leonard spoke to Glasgow Live about the harrowing storyline.
A River City icon has urged victims of sexual assault to "speak up" as she takes part in a harrowing storyline on the popular BBC Scotland soap.
As things spiral out of control, Lydia is left traumatised by Andrew’s actions. Later, as reality dawns on him, Andrew scrambles to find an alibi. "She's beginning to find herself again, a new job and getting her identity back, standing on her own two feet. The strong Lydia is coming back again." They offered feedback, guidance and advice when required to make the storyline as accurate as possible. Beyond the sexual assault storyline, Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis were also involved in the long term story arc as part of the survivors recovery, post assault.
"It's people we know, and you think everything's okay, but when at the last minute, you say no - people have to learn that is when to stop."
