Did Little Mo report when she got rape??
It was just a question you shouldn't feel horrid.
It does happen, some people in real life don't report it or tell anyone
I think he won't tell anyone for a while but will eventually. It's going to be so sad watching the aftermath and when he tells someone, poor JP.
First of all...all soaps are shown before the watershed...then would anyone truly like to see an actual rape taking place? I know I wouldn't watch it...and I'm no prude. But some things are best left unseen.
However, I do really dislike how every little secret just HAS to come out in soap. I forgot all about Jay's kiss with Kitty in EastEnders, then Dexter randomly (for no reason whatsoever) blurts it out in front of Abi. Why couldn't it just be swept under the carpet, never to be discussed again? In the end, it was a pointless reveal anyway, since nothing's changed between that group of friends.
It'd be refreshing to see someone keep a big thing to themselves - whether it's rape, a murder they witnessed (or committed), an affair... but it'll never happen because like I said above, it'd be pointless storytelling.
I think you've misunderstood the thread.
With regards to the actual showing the rape, I know that's not what you asked OP, but actually as it was featured in a late night special, part of it was shown. Obviously, it wasn't graphic.
Played by the wonderful Gary Lucy who now plays Danny in Eastenders.
I didn't watch Hollyoaks until 18 months or so after this storyline, but wasn't it until about 3 months after that Luke crashed his car and then told Adam?
It was a while afterwards, I couldn't tell you exactly but I remember him being in hospital at the time. Although I couldn't remember why until you said that. I used to have that episode on tape for some reason. I probably still have it somewhere. They dealt with that whole storyline really well. I remember how all the members of his family reacted. His Dad walked out at first, I think, he was all old fashioned about it. I think he did a bit of victim blaming. His sister Zara asked if it meant he was gay. His friends were all uncomfortable about the mention of it, really for as long as he was in Hollyoaks. I remember Adam was the one to tell their family because Luke was too ashamed to. Horrible. They really worked at showing various and often ignorant ways that people react to try and educate the audience.
Yeh I read the book 'Luke's Secret Diary' so knew a bit about the storyline even though I didn't see much of it. I started watching just before he left. I did see the DVD they did when Luke was attacked by Scott Anderson and some other people when they made him think it was going to happen again. It was so well acted.
I always remember when Luke came back for his mum and dad's wedding, just after Gary had filmed Footballer's Wives, and asked for a Chardonnay (Kyle's wife in FW)
As mentioned, Lisa Dingle kept quiet for weeks, maybe a couple of months. Kirby in Dynasty only told people when she discovered it had resulted in pregnancy (and we had seen the attack unlike staceys in EE).
Actually, Krystle never told anyone about Blake raping her in Dynasty but they had some very odd attitudes to rape in that show. It was almost as though because theyb were married and she'd lied about taking the Pill, it didn't matter and she 'deserved' it. As I say, very screwed up attitude.
Luke Morgan didn't tell anyone he had been raped for months either. Hollyoaks fitst male rape.
Oh yes. She told people in the end though didn't she? Certainly the people involved seemed to know why she hated Andy (?was it) so much.
When did this happen??
No! Mel and Sophie went straight to the police the next day and reported it!
