To be honest, this reminds me of the baby knapping storyline with Ronnie.

As in - it's making me fast forward through any related scene and watch an episode inside 10 minutes.

If Dean isn't found out, then it puts a bit of a mockery on Eastenders' attempt to help people who are going through the same thing as Linda, if they go and allow a rapist to get away with it.

Makes a mockery? Or accurately portrays what happens to the vast majority of rapists?

If it makes people angry then great, it'll make them see how big changes need to be made to the real life issue.

How on earth is it making a mockery when it's pretty much giving an accurate and realistic portrayal of what rape victims go through after the event takes place. News flash, not all rapists get found out and many happen to get away with it. Some traumatic experiences such as this are not always revealed or shed to light immediately.


In the real world, it can go on for months and even years. Definitely not a mockery.

Considering most rapes aren't even reported and less than 1 in 30 that are reported lead to conviction (if my memory serves me) I think you'll find it's fairly accurate.

I'm now watching the episodes on iplayer so that I can fast forward as soon as Linda is on.

I'm fine with whenever they want to reveal it as long as it ISN'T Christmas Day. I think it would be in ill taste to use this subject as a ratings grabber on what is always EEs most prominant day of the year.

I'll agree to disagree.

So back to my original OP title: When is the rape revealed (or not as the case may be).

Thanks.

Well, that's me convinced. Such a good argument you put forward.

At least you admit you were looking for an argument. I thought the reply would put an end to your attempt.

Blimey, we had to wait a while for a half decent reply, so thank you.

And I agree that Christmas does sound like the most likely timing.

Symbolically though and soaps are often rich in symbolism I think a reveal on bonfire night Ie fireworks would be apt because the fireworks in the carter family and wider community are going to be huge when this is revealed.

Thanks for the compliment

'When is the rape revealed?'

Christmas 2034, most likely.

No I wasn't.

"Argument" as in your side of the debate? (argument - a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory.)

You keep saying "it's a mockery" without actually saying why it would be so?

Looking for an argument?

That was simply a response to your post expecting more elaboration and detail from you but you just pretty much deflected it without backing up your statement of Linda's storyline being a "mockery"

The poster was agreeing with you that they prefer to skip through the scenes related to the rape storyline and it warranted this insulting response?

What a bizarre thread.

I'm hoping for a typical Christmas reveal. It has been confirmed that Dean won't go to court or prison for it, so pretty much gets away with it like most rapists do tbh. Well, I've got a feeling Mick might kill him...

Thank you Joe, I'm glad that you realised that I was indeed agreeing with muchacho, it will probably be the last time that I do though, he/she obviously read some deeper meaning to my post that I hadn't realised was there.

I think it's being handled realistically and it's making it all the more affecting. It's tough to watch Linda go through that while everything else carries on as normal, but it's realistic. It isn't easy to admit you were raped, it's not easy to get a conviction, nothing about it is easy and this is showing that.

As for the reveal. I still believe that she will admit she's been raped well before Christmas, but it is only at Christmas that people find out it was Dean.

I think bonfire will be the reveal she was raped, then maybe end of November she reveals it was dean causing him to do a runner. Then he comes back to terrorise Linda at Christmas.

Well sadly I get the feeling it will be revealed the Linda and Dean had sex, rather than the true case.

Elaine thinks it was adultery.

Nancy and Sharon know they've kissed and have got the wrong end of the stick with it.

Mick knows Linda wanted children and Dean's already 'supplied' Tosh.

Evidence will sadly be in favour of adultery for those who don't know the truth. And when Linda finally gets the courage to reveal the truth, she won't be believed.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Frustrating, isn't it?
