EASTENDERS

This week’s much-publicised storyline that sees Lewis sexually assault Ben has been criticised for its similarities to Corrie’s in which David was the victim. In fact, both shows are way behind the times because the issue was first covered in a UK soap by Hollyoaks in 2000, when Luke Morgan was raped by Mark Gibbs.

It continues to be an emotive subject, and research suggests that half of British men have had unwanted sexual experiences.

In Walford, newcomer Lewis is quick to tell Ben he was the instigator, and Kaffy is stunned when she hears that Ben apparently cheated on Callum.

Kaffy (right) spends all her time looking stunned, and almost always to do with the men in her life – lovers, sons or grandsons. That’s a lot of testosterone for one woman to deal with. Doing a breakfast fry-up at the caff is the highlight of her day; she knows it’s going to be downhill from there on. Lola is having a bad week when she hears Isaac has met someone else and won’t be returning. We can all breathe a sigh of relief at that.

Not Lola, though, and at

Clara’s photography exhibition she accuses Jay of cheating with Frankie. Fat chance. Jay never seems able to muster enough energy to clean his teeth.
