Very uncomfortable scenes altogether. There’s comes a point in every soap’s life when writers have to stop and think whether a storyline is actually justified or if they’re just throwing a load of questionable content at viewers in an attempt to shock them into submission. Soaps usually overstep this line massively when it comes to […]
