Despite Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson saying
that Corrie has too much crime, he's continuing with the ruination of Carla Connor this summer with a rape scene. The Sun has more details today about psycho Frank Foster's sexual attack of Carla Connor and the paper says he rapes her after she calls off their wedding. Peter then comes to her aid and attacks Frank. Dopey Maria offers support for Carla after she reports the rape to police.
The scenes will be screened in September and will see Frank get angry with Carla when she announces her love for Peter. The scene will then cut straight to the aftermath of the attack. Carla will be seen as she cowers in a foetal position, with a torn skirt and bruised wrists. Stupid nutter Frank will then try to convince her that the rape was
HER fault. Oh for God's sake, lock him up and throw away the script.
A source said: "These scenes will be uncomfortable to watch to say the least - but you don't see the actual rape because that might be too disturbing for younger viewers."
Bosses and actress Alison, 38, have also been working closely with rape support groups to make sure the storyline is as realistic as possible.
Oh, so that makes yet another rape story perfectly alright to show as entertainment in Corrie then? NOT!
