Amy and Aaron will be part of a non-consent storyline
In scenes that will air on Friday (Friday March 3, 2023), Amy and Aaron will be part of a non-consent storyline.
After Summer finds out that Aaron has been having late-night conversations with his ex, Mia, the couple get into a row.
With this, Aaron and Amy find themselves sharing a kiss.
Feeling guilty, the pair try to act as normal as they continue to go on a night out with Summer.
Later on, Amy and Aaron go back to the flat and play some drunk party games together.
After having fun together, they decide to go to bed.
However, Amy starts to feel sick and rolls over from Aaron.
With Amy too drunk to know what’s going on, Aaron rapes her.
Amy only realises what’s happened the next morning when she realises that she has had non-consensual sex with Aaron.
