Actress Jacqueline Leonard hopes her harrowing rape storyline in River City will encourage victims of sexual assault to speak out

.

The former EastEnders actress, who grew up in Bonnybridge near Falkirk, said: “It is a storyline I found extremely hard to film but I’m also proud the writers chose to tackle such a sensitive subject as it highlights that no means no and a woman is never asking for it. As things spiral out of control, Lydia is left traumatised by Andrew’s actions. Later, as reality dawns on him, Andrew scrambles for an alibi.

The actor, who returned to River City last year after a stint in Coronation Street, added: “Lydia’s immediate reaction is to not let anyone know what has happened. Jacqueline, who is married to Alex Mansfield, said the storyline prompted serious talks with their daughter, who is at university studying psychology.
