Hi,

I missed a huge chunk of Home & Away a while back.

Exactly what was Kane supposed to have done to Dani, and what view of the proceedings were we given as viewers (ie. he was guilty, innocent, or we are not sure)?

I believe that Kane is supposed to have raped Dani, although we only saw the aftermath of this on screen and they always refer to it as an "assault" or an "attack", which kind of confused me for a while as I wasn't entirely sure what he was supposed to have done lol! He went on trial for it but was found not guilty although we as viewers know that he definitely did do it!

In oz all tv shows have cinema style ratings. H&A is lumbered with the oz version of the U rating, meaning everything has to be suitable for all. They can't even use the word rape, thus muddying the waters on what kane actually did. The 'attack' scene itself doesn't really help- you just saw him kissing her and dani telling him to stop before it cutaway to the next scene. I personally think we were meant to believe he raped her but someone else could argue it differently.

Yeah thats what I always thought too...that it was only an attempted rape...but others think that he did in fact rape her! I wish they would have cleared this up for us...I don't think its been sensitively handled at all.

No, Coral Drouyn (ex script producer) told us Kane did rape Dani, but certain censors meant they couldnt actually say the words rape.

That's what i find so unrealistic, I'm sure I've heard Dani use the word raped although not recently, but would you fall in love with a guy who raped your sister, marry him and have his baby? No. You'd hate him. Would you ever speak to your sister EVER if she did? No. You'd be estranged for the rest of your lives.
