Oh yes, a rape victim that won't tell anyone is SOOOOOO annoying! Jeez, did you expect her to instantly run down stairs and tell everyone what happened? Even in the real world it doesn't work like that, there's a great deal of emotion that comes with being raped. You don't even need to be a rape victim to know that.
Also, this is a soap. They have to make an actual storyline out of it. If Linda revealed all tomorrow and it came to a close, then what? That would be far too quick of a story. I know all soaps have a bad habit of drawing things out too long, but no matter how long things are always drawn out, the reveal is always satisfying enough to justify the lengthiness. |

Excellent. Sounds like a good week, especially if it's true about Nick returning next week.

I think Kellie is doing a fantastic job but yes, watching her open and end all episodes has been a bit much since it happened. I'm glad the storyline is taking a break from being the main focus.

Telling people somthing like that isn't exactly easy you know.

Of course many women don't report rape in real life but that is not because they are waiting to make a dramatic reveal around Christmas time.

It would actually be quite a new way to tell the story in soap for the victim to tell the police/family straight away, wouldn't it? They always make the woman/man in some cases suffer and wait for the most dramatic time to reveal it.

I think it's a stupid story anyway. Linda had been shown so far as a tough outspoken take-no-nonsense woman, then when some little squirt makes advances on her she just lies back-well,forward-and lets him have his way. Why didn't she shout at him to get off, hit out, kick,etc?

I think stacey will be disgusted tbh as she was a victim of rape. I don't see park I being on anyone's side as he is dealing with his stroke. Shirley will probably be on the fence too as mick and dean are her sons.

It's definitely going to be a family feud, Mitchell-style. Babe and Linda's mum, Elaine, are definitely going to become sparring partners.

Linda and Kellie are great, but the storyline is going round in circles, Linda crying at the end of every episode or something like that.

She had so many chances to tell people last week...
![]() Is this going to be strung along until Xmas or something? Despite Kellie's good acting, I feel that this has already run as far as it can run without something coming out. Has DTC not learned from the Beale Case that long-running story arcs don't work because nobody cares? |

I know EE loves its misery but do they really think people want to tune in and see someone looking miserable every episode for weeks on end until christmas
These things are always dragged out too long, I know the real life reasons people give but lets not pretend EE want realism |

I perfectly understand the harrowing ordeal she's been through and hope I never find out how I would react in that situation, but as a viewer it's frustrating that she won't tell anyone because I think she'd feel so much better if she did. It's just so much to try to deal with alone. |

I think this storyline is amazing, idiots down to Kellie's amazing acting skills that it doesn't feel like it's dragging on I love seeing her reactions to things as she's got it spot on.

I was so hoping she'd instantly report the rape to the police, or at least outcry to someone as soon as possible.

OP you have no idea how it would be for a rape victim to admit they have been raped Kellie Bright is portraying this storyline very well

The reason Linda hasn't told anybody about it is because she's scared about what Mick would do to Dean, this has been said MULTIPLE times in interviews and I can get why you wouldn't want to admit yourself as a rape victim quickly
She was only raped a couple of weeks ago and in EE time it hasn't even been that long as some of the episodes have been set on the same day. People are far too impatient nowadays. Remember when Sharongate went on for two years? |
