In upcoming scenes, Hollyoaks viewers will see Nick Savage rape Holly Cunningham
Fans of the show will remember that Nick Savage had sex with Ellie Nightingale when she was too drunk to give consent.
Since then, Ellie reported the news to the police however the charges against him were dropped. Even though Holly has stood by her boyfriend throughout everything things are set to take a dramatic turn in tonight's First Look episode.
It all kicks off at Nick's graduation party when Zack Loveday accidentally reveals he kissed Holly. Nick is not impressed (even though he has cheated on his girlfriend with Tegan Lomax) and as his anger begins to explode the guests at his party and begin to feel uncomfortable.
When Holly and Nick return home, she too feels uncomfortable and nervous around him but things take a horrific turn when he wants to move on from the argument by having sex. Holly is clear that she doesn't want to but he forces himself onto her.
After raping her, Nick acts completely oblivious to what he has done but Holly realises that she didn't give him her consent and he has raped her.
Later on, Holly confides in Ellie about what has happened but will she break up with Nick and report him?
We hope so!
Amanda Clapham, who plays Holly, has opened up about the upcoming scenes and admitted at first her character argues with Ellie: "She lashes out at Ellie blaming her, but eventually she gets upset and tells her what happened.
"Ellie tries to support her and help her process it as much as she can. She encourages her to speak to the police, but Holly is not ready for that as she still doesn’t quite understand what has happened.
"With Ellie’s help she ends up telling her mum which also helps her come to terms with it." she told The Metro.
The Hollyoaks actress then admits that Holly faces a dilemma: "[She isn't sure] whether to take Ellie’s advice and risk being in the same situation as Ellie where no one believes her, or just to keep quiet"
We sure do hope she tells someone.
