Coronation Street actor James Craven admits he found his character's latest plotline hard to handle at the beginning.
James, who plays Aaron Sandford on the ITV soap, says he struggled when bosses told him his character would be at the centre of a harrowing rape storyline.
Viewers watched in horror earlier this year as Aaron had sex with Amy while she was passed out following a day of heavy drinking, but she did not give him consent to do so.
