Coronation Street is set to be rocked with a horrifying rape storyline in upcoming scenes as Amy Barlow is preyed upon by Aaron Sandford while drunk.
The ITV soap will air the harrowing storyline next month, in which Aaron (James Craven) has non-consensual sex with Amy ( Elle Mulvaney ) in their flat, following a row with his girlfriend Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby).
Corrie soap bosses have championed the storyline as an opportunity to open up conversations between families and friends about the issues surrounding sexual activity among young people, including consent, awareness, respect and education.
