Soaps wouldn't even remotely have the balls to do something as challenging as this now. Trevor Jordache was pure evil - so well acted - in fact, the acting of the whole family was amazing - especially Anna Friel's rise as the challenger to Trevor's evil.

Beautifully done and superb acting I was only a child myself and have loving parents I can’t imagine what it must b like for young girls having to go through such horrific stuff like this your own Father abusing you and many would b like Rachel they don’t fully understand what’s happening or may not realise they’re been abused or groomed it’s only when they’re grown women they start to understand or make light of their ordeal I hope those victims of sexual or domestic abuse can get the help and support they need male or female you don’t deserve to b treaded like that so if you or someone you know has thus happen or it’s happening don’t b like Rachel and others by sticking around to see how bad it gets get out and speak out don’t suffer in silence Xx
