The BBC are playing a fine line with this story regarding teenagers sending nude photos with the abuse allegations and saville enquiry on going

Think it in conjunction with a charity they are working with.

I can see this leading to a revenge porn storyline in the future. I find the story dosgusting and uncomfortable. Honestly wish Shakil would get ran over to end his pressuring behaviour and to save us from that awful acting. I really feel for Bex. I wouldn't ever take nude photos of myself at 21. It's uncomfortable.

I don't really see what Saville has to do with the storyline since it's not about rape or sexual assault (unless something changes.) It seems to be more about the peer pressure teenagers face about sex and the dangers of sending nudes. There's a lot of "don't let a guy pressure you into anything" from several characters, as if they're trying to send a message to the viewers about not allowing a guy to pressure you into doing something you're uncomfortable with.

I hope Sharon has the sense to tell Martin and all hell breaks loose.😠

not really, this is a story about a problem modern teenagers have, something the BBC should be doing, and something its not always been good at.

I think its actually turning into a decent story. Many teens feel pressured into losing their virginity as to not be considered uncool or frigid. Being told all your friends have lost it can easily ramp up the pressure on yourself to lose it quickly.

The pics is a topical issue right now. I think I remember seeing a report on the news that kids as young as 10/11 have been caught sexting or taking indecent photos of themselves, unaware of the consequences it could lead to. Sadly its happening more and more these days so I think EastEnders is doing a good service in raising the subject.

Plus with the story being between 2 young characters, perhaps it could create a dialogue between parents and younger viewers. Giving them an easier way to explain the dangers of sending pictures of yourself to other people.

I agree. I have a 16 year old and this sort of thing is not uncommon in that age group from what I've heard my daughter talk about. They don't really get the permanence aspect of the photos. The immaturity at that age can allow a photo to be shared and spread faster than lightning. At her last school, I think the administration told the students that phones would be confiscated and given to the police if they ever found anyone to be in possession of such photos. What a flippin' nightmare that must be for them.

For what it's worth, I don't think kids today behave any differently than we did, it's just that they have technology available to them that we didn't. There probably aren't many teens these days, even children (maybe 10+) who don't have their own phone.

Does Louise have some evil agenda regarding this sex pix lark? I'm confused about her interest in the matter and what her motives are?

Occy forgive me for being stupid here but having read you original post I am struggling to see a connection between the BBC Savile abuse inquiry and a well thought out toryline about the dangers of setting among teenagers and l, if this storyline heads that way, revenge porn. Are you saying that following the Savile abuse that no BBC programme can produce storylines commenting of a sexual nature even if there is no direct correlation or are you stating that there must be something G more sinister going on at the BBC with their regards to these storylines. I'm not sure wether you are aware but the actress who.plays Bed was not nude when the scenes were filmed as implied and there were not a load of BBC employees around ogling at her. So I just don't understand the point t of the original post but would be I retested if you could elaborate into you thought process that led to this connection.

So the storyline is doing well

When Louise told Sharon that 'everybody does it' I found that hard to swallow but saying that it's been 30+ years since I was a teenager and not having kids it's not something I've ever had to face.

I do remember at school though before such technology came about it was 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' which I suppose was the 80's version of what's going on in EE

I just can't understand why EE are repeating the storyline so soon after Jay had those pictures of Linzi on his phone earlier this year.

I wonder if this will lead to Jay's conviction being revisited especially if/when Martin finds out it will no doubt come to light that Bex has been spending time with Louise at the Mitchells and that Jay has moved back in, we the viewers know he knows nothing about what's going on but Martin won't and may think Jay has been involved in some way.

OK I'm going back to Sharon in this. Now that she knows what's going on doesn't she have a responsibility to tell Martin. He's not some random stranger...he's the brother of her best friend, someone she's known since he was born and his daughter is I danger. How can she keep quiet about what's happening. She has a moral obligations to get this nipped in the bud.

I think the fact that she would be breaking the trust/confidence of her step daughter is reason enough for her to not tell him. Louise is also vulnerable in her own way right now due to her dad's illness etc and I think Sharon is probably more concerned about her relationship with Louise atm

Good grief. Louise is a naive and very silly child. Her needs do not come first when someone is in danger.

Part of me sees Louise borrowing Bex's phone, and sending the photos herself

Vald you make me laugh sometimes with this being on Sharon.

Sharon not under any obligation to do anything, she got more then enough on her plate and most likely thinks its them being teenagers.

I can see that and I can see Louise passing it around the school, leading to Shakil getting blamed and Louise using that to her own ends but

Louise will send her pics to Shakil and they will end up together.

I'd say it about any adult who is aware of what's happening. Bex could have her life ruined if those pictures get out...girls have committed suicide when this happens. I think people are taking it too lightly. Someone needs to stop the child making a terrible mistake.

Sharon only found out in last Friday episode, so we have no clue if she tells anyone or not, this still isn't on her, Louise told her Bex hadn't sent them so as far as she knows that is the end of it.

Bex's we can only hope is level headed enough not to send them, she knows she not ready to have sex with Shakil and won't be pressured into it, plus she herself tells Stacey.

Oh yes there's time. I'd just like to think that some responsible adult steps in. I thought Tina was a bit too blasé too. What she's considering doing terrifies me. I'd hate to think of my granddaughter being in such a position. Call me old fashioned but it disgusts me and nothing about it is remotely acceptable.
