Lydia reconnects with childhood sweetheart with sickening intentions
A shocking turn of events awaits viewers of Emmerdale as beloved character Lydia Dingle, played by Karen Blick, faces the aftermath of a brutal assault next week.
A devoted family woman torn by trauma
Known for her kind-hearted nature and unwavering support for her loved ones, Lydia has been a pillar of strength for her step-granddaughter Amelia Spencer. However, recent financial struggles drove her to rekindle a connection with her childhood sweetheart, Craig Reed (Ben Addis).
Descent into darkness
What seemed like an innocent reunion quickly turns sinister as Craig's true intentions come to light. Scenes set to air on ITV reveal the heartbreaking reality of Lydia's rape.
An elephant in the room
When Craig unexpectedly arrives at Wishing Well, Lydia and her husband Sam Dingle (James Hooton) are left confused and uneasy. Craig seizes the opportunity to confront Lydia about their shared past and they visit their baby's resting place together. This emotional moment triggers a shared grief, deepening their bond.
A secret shared in silence
As Lydia returns home, tormented by the near-kiss with Craig, she keeps the encounter hidden from Sam. Consumed by anxiety, she confides in Kim Tate (Claire King) but remains torn. Lydia contemplates resigning but is swayed by Craig's heartfelt confession of their special connection.
A horrific betrayal
It is during this vulnerable moment that Craig reveals his true feelings for Lydia and begins to force himself onto her. In a state of shock and disbelief, Lydia becomes a victim of sexual assault.
A silent suffering
Unable to process the trauma she has just experienced, Lydia goes into hiding. She silently struggles, hiding the clothes she wore during the assault and keeping her secret to herself.
The enduring question
Will Lydia find the courage to expose Craig for his wrongdoing? And who will be there to support her throughout her harrowing ordeal?
