Coronation Street #11

[BobBlobLaw]

Yeah i think its gonna be a case of we don't see what happens behind closed doors but the next morn she doesnt remember what happened or wasn't conscious so it plays to the consent aspect for the viewer to debate. Could be an interesting arc , if they play it well.

 

[stardust1]

I feel so awkward

 

[BobBlobLaw]

yeah no...rape.com to Be fair. No room for doubt.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

That was uncomfortable viewing.

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Why are ITV not calling it rape? Where did this ‘non consensual sex’ bollocks come from?

 

[Cady1954]

Amy and Summers bf are going get it on

Yes give her something else to whinge about

Oh Jesus christ another excuse to misuse her insulin.

I think the idea is there is quite a lot of question around consent and what is classed as rape in the definition of law

Yes but it wasn't as if it was a grey area (which I thought it would be for debates sake) it wasn't like she was in the middle if it and fell asleep. She actively turned away from him and passed out.

 

[Web30]

Just finished it, she looked like she fell asleep and he carried on which isn't what I thought would happen. He was drunk which isn't an excuse but yer... It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

I just hope the producers handle this storyline with Aaron and Amy with care. That's all I will say on that.

Although, that was a lovely moment when Daisy hugged Jenny. The stalking storyline is making me feel very claustrophobic... if that makes sense.

A more light-hearted thought - did Abbie say, when she arrived at the Bistro, that Wendy was looking after the kids? I thought Wendy left with Stephanie Beacham? Or will the great Wendy Flamin' Crozier be returning?

When we watched it, I turned to my husband and said ‘that’s rape’ that’s how we saw it, she was asleep so could NOT consent, end of, just my opinion

 

[gossipgirlxxo]

I suppose this is the whole point of them doing this storyline- to open up discussion and awareness. Aaron was just as drunk, possibly even more than Amy was so arguably wasn’t in control of his actions

 

[Luckycorr13]

I think it's important they are tackling it as teens/young adults.
Unfortunately both young men and women think if you've flirted/kissed then went that bit further the rest is considered consensual.
It will argue both points, Amy "gave the go ahead" messing about with Aaron all night, so he thinks it's OK. Whereas she'll argue she went to bed not giving consent.
It is 100% rape in this story, but for young adults in that situation who aren't taught consent it can be a very confusing situation.
Let's hope it's tackled well... Unlike Stephen on LSD

Hollyoaks did a similar storyline a few years back ( when it was good ) and that was well done.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

I thought it would be more like the Hollyoaks storyline but this was definitely rape

 

[Ktb]

I like Amy, we’ve watched her grow up but I’m not sure she can do this kind of storyline

I’m catching up on last nights Gogglebox about 10 mins in they’re watching Stephen at work. Reactions are perfect

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

I hope they don’t make this all about how Summer feels rather than Amy

Agreed it's very hard to watch but also compelling. It's the only storyline I think Corrie are doing well at the moment and that I care about.

Was last night the first time we’ve seen all 4 quads? Normally there’s only 2 or most 3 but last night all 4 shown. Only makes it more unbelievable that they live in a Tardis.

We have seen all 4 together at the same time a handful of times before
