has anyone looked on twitter tonight.. so many girls are complaining about how wrong EE was and how sick it was tonight!.

It happens to young girls when they are drunk! so they do nothing about it.

Do you think its because dean is too good looking to do that sort of thing?

I think the SL has hit alot of nerves!

So many young girls have put him up to be this young does-nothing-wrong pretty boy. It's madness. I don't even find him half attractive. But that's just me.

Its a strange one because we as an audience know that Linda said "no" which makes it rape, the writers are writing from both prospective, both the victim and the perpetrator.

Regardless yes the perpetrator did "rape" but did he actually realise he was rapping Linda? Did he intentionally rape Linda?

Some rapists are aware and plan their actions but there are "some" rapists that rape unintentionally yet have still committed an horrific act.

The thing I'd Dean does not think he raped Linda, he thinks because she didn't scream or shout or fight back, he didn't do anything wrong.

Maybe they're just saying it's sick because it is horrible to watch someone get raped even if it's on TV. I don't see what his looks have to do with it

I thought that was just his guilt at having consensual sex (so he believes) with the man's wife.

Dean still feels guilty, just not about the right thing

I took that as him feeling a bit weird having a conversation with his uncle moments after having sex with his wife. Would he even have approached Mick and struck up a conversation "knowing" what he had done to his wife just minutes before? He's seriously messed up but I don't think he's that warped.

Dean knew exactly what he was doing and Linda did scream. Before it happened Linda told him to "Stop it" very firmly and broke away from him. Then when he grabbed her she screamed "No" and "No, please Dean" IIRC. Matt did an interview(with Inside Soap, I believe) where he says Dean KNOWS he has done something wrong but tries to forget about it, instead chooses to fantasize about an affair with Linda. Imo, from tonight's scene it was obvious Dean knew that Linda didn't want to be intimate with him, but he chose to overpower her regardless. Linda made it very clear and you could hear the fear in her voice. There were no blurred lines

As someone who has overcome the trauma of rape in a similar way to Linda, she said no and was unable through shock and fear to scream. Luckily I had great counselling. The perpetrator was my then boyfriend and some still say it was not rape as I didn't scream and fight off. Sometimes your body and it's reactions freeze and time stands still. I hope many people male and female realise rape can happen in different ways, even in your own home by someone you know

Well done eastenders on tackling this issue in such a sensitive way

She didn't scream but she did say no.

She said no and pushed him away, He grabbed her and pulled/pushed her over to the table and forced her down on the table. He knew what he was doing.

You've probably go a fair few Dean fan girls on twitter who liked him due to his looks. His action tonight has made fandom of the character impossible.

It was pretty scary, very well acted. I felt it should not have been shown pre-watershed.

DTC & Matt have said that Dean being a young man & good looking was DELIBERATELY intended when planning this plot, to inform the audience that rapists are not all "dirty old men" sometimes young men, who seem relatively 'normal' do it.
