carla and the rape storyline
I wasnt watching corrie between late sep to novemer but im a bit confused the carla storyline. She ran over stella and lied about it with frank, i saw that but then she is raped and presses charges? surely she wouldnt have pressed charges knowing he knew the truth and how come she doesnt seem bothered or guilty that she nearly killed someone. Shes acting the victim and expecting justice to be done to frank but conveniantly forgot about what she did. Rather confused, its as if it never happened now...

Basically she had a kind of argument with Frank's parents after she felt pressured by them talking about starting a family etc, and she got drunk, got into her car and then Frank got in with her but she like drove forward and hit Stella. Frank covered for her, before she had woken up, and told her he would get into trouble too if she admitted it was her, she was upset and wanted to tell the police but he told her not to.
Then basically she said she couldn't marry her, raped her and course she pressed charges. I think she did feel guilty about Stella, but right now that isn't on her mind as she has been raped and has a court case coming up. |

Late August Carla met Frank's parents and felt under pressure from everything, she got drunk and drove Frank's car. Frank had followed her out to see if she was okay, got into the car with her (in the passenger seat) as he tried to stop her. Carla hit Stella (who was standing in the middle of the road trying to talk to Leanne who she had fallen out with earlier in the day). Carla was speeding, and drunk and hit her before crashing into the bookies. Carla then was unconscious and in a moment of madness/love/panic Frank decided to move Carla over to the passenger seat and for him to take the rap as he hadn't been drinking, and plus this meant, as Carla soon worked out taht Frank had control over her and that he owed her.
Frank confessed it was him to the police and by the time Carla woke up, Frank told Carla that she confessing would only implicate the pair of them and that he stood a better chance of getting off due to his clean record. Carla was then under a lot of strain as she felt guilty and then felt angry toward Frank for covering for her, and their relationship was under strain as she continued to battle her feelings for Peter. She then tried to end their relationship and saw their solicitor about getting Frank out of Underworld however when she told Frank about this he snapped and raped her. To me the only real correlation between the two storylines was that the crash and Frank's subsequent control over Carla was a catalyst in the breakdown of their relationship and showed Frank's controlling nature. Oh and Carla told Peter at the time it was her, and he kept her secret from Leanne, however Leanne visited Frank in prison (after he violated his bail conditions) and he told Leanne Peter knoew it was Carla. However, currently no-one else knows. Hopefully that makes it a bit clearer? |

I just think its strange how she does not seemed concerned that if frank goes down then surely he will bring her down with her and bring up the fact that he wasnt driving the car. hmm, but yes i see how the cover up led to their relationship break down.

I think the reason Frank doesn't want to bring it back up is because he of course lied to the police and so he would then be serving time. He doesn't know he's going down for the rape, but the car crash truth would produce a far greater can of worms for all involved once exposed.
