Actress Jacqueline Leonard hopes her harrowing rape storyline in River City will encourage victims of sexual assault to speak out.
The mum-of-one admitted she found filming the scenes where Lydia Murdoch is violated by her boss Andrew Campbell-Baxter upsetting. It airs tonight, Wednesday January 18, at 10pm on BBC Scotland.
Jacqueline, 56, has gone through her character being blown up, shot by her gangster husband and then returned from the grave. But she revealed to the Record the assault is Lydia’s most hard-hitting storyline yet.
