Now I don't have a lot of praise for McLeod but I don't think this was his intent with this story or the Zack/Lisa stuff. I think he is attempting to fix Kate Oates' mistakes in breaking up Zack/Lisa and Rhona/Paddy.

That may be so and fair enough. But I think it could have been done much better. Why not have Zak move into the granny flat and cohabit with Lisa as friends for a time while they build up trust in their relationship? That way he's still in the heart of the family geographically and Lisa wouldn't look like such a doormat. There was no need for the kiss at this stage. Or Lisa basically admitting she can't do any better than Zak. It's just so hurried - he's barely left his new wife's sheets! He's the one in the wrong, yet Lisa was the one fawning over him. And he should make his own bloody soup!!!

We didn't see anything. it was obvious Rhona didn't want sex but we never saw her say yes or no. Just the scene at the end where she seemed visibly shaken. We don't actually know what happened.
Rhona didn't want sex and Pierce was very manipulating. We didn't actually see Rhona fighting him off and I think Emmerdale producers should have shown her doing that. |

That's what he put on the screen. That's what I'll judge him on. Women who are so pathetic and have such low self-respect that they willingly take back men who treat them like crap. And it's "romantic". It's just bubble-headed pin-brained nonsense.

It does make Lisa look weak to take Zack back after all that, you almost need a Bobby Ewing int he shower moment to correct this without making Lisa look weak. |

She could have made him work for it. She didn't. She just sat him down, when she was the one who was injured, and made him chicken soup, and seemed to be loving it. So yes, she looks utterly weak, pathetic, and a complete doormat. Because that's how they wrote it.

It's such an interesting one because although I did class it as rape with Rhona but I do agree with what Tracy was saying sometimes you're not in the mood with a partner but you just "give in" a bit.

I think it's good that Emmerdale are highlighting this because it shows a different angle to the usual rape storylines - it's not violent and it's not done by someone menacing who they end up hating and feel disgusted by. It's a partner assuming that he can overrule a denial of consent, as if he has a right to. I'm interested to see what happens when Rhona eventually confesses to what happened, I'm betting some people in the village will find it hard to believe that it's considered rape when it's your partner. Look how Alicia was judged after Lochlan attacked her, because of the way she dressed. |
