Coronation Street's Amy Barlow will come to the horrifying conclusion that she's been raped next week after having non-consensual sex with Aaron Sandford.
In Friday's episode, Aaron (James Craven) makes the decision for Amy ( Elle Mulvaney ) to have sex after the pair have had too much to drink.
Amy and Aaron found themselves drinking together following the latter's argument with his girlfriend Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby).
Speaking to The Mirror, Elle opened up on the "damage" this horrific night will have on the Weatherfield resident and her relationships on the cobbles.
"The dynamic will definitely change [for the friendship group] because you'll find that people are going to almost pick sides," she said.
"With Amy being how she is you can't be friends with them both because that's going to be really difficult because what happens when they all want to go out or they all want to go on holiday together?"
The actress teased that there won't be a future for Amy and Aaron on the cobbles together as Elle's character struggles to come to terms with her former friend's actions.
"That's when it becomes really difficult because Amy isn't one going to want to be in the same room as Aaron," Elle continued.
"She feels like he's a threat to her now so I feel like that will definitely have an impact on the wider group because they're almost in the middle."
The Coronation Street star went on to address how the horrific night will affect her ability to trust the men in her life.
She said: "I think this is very damaging for het, she's definitely going to have some sort of trust issues towards men.
"She's been dumped by a boyfriend who lied to her supposedly, Amy obviously doesn't know the truth and then by Aaron, who was one of her best mates.
"I feel like her trust in general is going to go down because even though Aaron is a boy he was primarily a friend so I feel like it's just more of a general thing."
Amy's "future relationships" will definitely be affected, the star admitted.
