Oh right, sorry I got confused.

Like I said most of the soaps sensationalise for PR reasons and so that the message of the story gets across, although sometimes the subletly and sensitivity of a storyline is only what is needed.

Aye, Corrie never seems to ever do a proper rape storyline, they've gone close to it with David and Tina last year, and

Spoiler:

Frank's attempted rape of Maria next week

, the only time they did do the story was ten years ago with Toyah Battersby

Are they afraid of the OFCOM complaints or something, sometimes they need to take a risk.. most of the soaps have done them before and some have worked, some not but you never know.

Anything remotely dark seems to upset some older Corrie viewers and sends them into a frenzy of "It's becoming like EastEnders" or "I miss the days when Ena used to rollerskate down Rosamund Street with fishnets on her tits", I'm glad Phil is tackling some darker subjects - The storyline with Marc for example

Spoiler:

Audrey finds out he's a transvestite after she finds him beaten up by a gang of homophobic thugs

, I think the reason Frank doesnt go through it is to give the storyline more longetivity
