Speaking of acting out this sensitive topic, actress Karen Blick who plays Lydia said:
“Lydia’s rape is one of the most important and sensitive stories I have been part of during my time in Emmerdale.
“The research, preparation and aftermath of this story has been challenging and eye opening for me.
