Coronation Street saw heart-wrenching drama centred on two of its characters in Wednesday night's episode (April 26). The harrowing scenes saw Amy Barlow and Paul Foreman at the hospital for different reasons, but both were left facing-up to trauma and confronting their fears.
Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, ended up hospitalised in the ITV soap after downing a bottle of vodka after being raped by her best friend's ex Aaron Sandford. After attempting to bury the truth, Amy was praised for her bravery as she finally admitted to her parents Tracy and Steve: "I was lying, he did rape me. I'm stuggling. I know I need help."
There was a jarring moment as the doctor arrived and asked rather insensitively: "Going to be teetotal from now on then?. And just as we thought that was an unwelcome enough interruption, Aaron knocked on to check how Amy was.
