In no other situation would an adult male encouraging a 12 year old female child to keep secrets, and putting hands on her, be ok. It isn't ever ok.

Yes the Sally thing was incredible. Accused of murder and just fast-tracked to a women's prison - no questioning, no concerns, no understanding of how that would affect others

Unfortunately these tv shows are just after a spike in ratings. Responsibility doesn't come into it. Why else would they be glamourising an older male grooming a young female child? They don't care that trying to normalise grooming may make other children vulnerable to the very same thing.

She's not grooming him, she's supporting him.

It's really brave for Hollyoaks to do this in the current climate and I hope it has a positive impact on trans children.

Show quote history

What makes you think this is a 'she'?

Is it the acting, the speech, the role or the dresses?

Every parent's worst nightmare, a male grooming a young female child.

She's not grooming him, she's supporting him.

It's very "in plain sight" isn't it?

Oh, dear. Hollyoaks are getting questioned because the actor playing Rose may not actually be trans. The humanity!

The actor who played "Sally" was a TRA, I think, no?

In recent years Hollyoaks has had a lot of trans/nb characters

  • We had Sally who arrived in town as headmistress, got sent to women's jail and was bullied by the mean ladies.
  • Phoenix transitions to a boy, after getting in a relationship with a non-binary character.
  • Kitty arrives, having stolen someone else's identity who died in a car crash. No-one mentions the elephant in the room that I've seen, and people are busy trying to fix them up with a male character Beau.

And now we have Kitty 'guiding' a teen girl through transition.

StephanieSuperpowers · 07/03/2024 13:59

That's an incredibly disturbing scene. How did no adult watching that suggest that maybe it wasn't a correct approach?

PickleC · 07/03/2024 13:51

But then this is Hollyoaks where a previous storyline had the 'classic' path of autistic girl to non-binary (again after a lot of coaching from a partner) and then to stating they were a boy with no worries expressed by anyone.

Yuck grooming

Yes, it's so creepy, isn't it?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 07/03/2024 13:27

It's so in plain sight shocking. Almost unbelievable. Who planted this story and scene? Has the whiff of the sea maidens.

Mollyollydolly · 07/03/2024 12:45

It's really shocking. How can they not see. Safeguarding in the bin.

Helleofabore · 07/03/2024 12:40

This clip is really shocking. I cannot believe that they thought this was appropriate in any way.

Cancelledcurio · 07/03/2024 12:36

ArabellaScott · 07/03/2024 12:32

I see a vulnerable young girl being coached by a great hulk of an older male.

ArabellaScott · 07/03/2024 12:31

Let's have that conversation, then.

'The best feeling in the world', eh?
