yep.

not suprised though

BooyFuckingHoo · 24/02/2011 20:25

no, me either. i suppose they have to make the reaction fit with Zac's character but i can't help shouting at the TV "just hug the bloody woman, it isn't about YOU!!!"

that was better.

made me shed a tear

MrsLevinson · 24/02/2011 20:28

Me too Mumatron! What a cracking bit of acting.

BooyFuckingHoo · 24/02/2011 20:29

i just can't help think that his reaction is exactly why she didn't want to tell anyone. Sad like i am sure so many women have done.

Thought it was very well done. Am sat here with tears. Don't normally cry over any soap storyline, and don't even follow emmerdale thta much.
But this was very sensitively done. Well done scriptwriters.

i'm glad that everyone believed her though, i don't think i could watch if they didn't.

MissyMolly · 24/02/2011 20:31

I think it was really well done- had me in tears as well.

Oblomov · 24/02/2011 20:31

I thought zac was zac. And when it sunk in, I thought he was very caring.

BooyFuckingHoo · 24/02/2011 20:32

yes, i think given lisa's personality and character, they would have had to invent something alot more complicated leading up to the rape for people to have doubted her.

hi re-action wasn't that bad. He felt bad for not protecting her. proud man. then reqalised it wasn't all about him. that she should be the priority and she needed a stroke of her hair and to be told it would be o.k.

Dirtbagsmummy · 24/02/2011 20:36

I cried too, just wanted to give her a cuddle!

BooyFuckingHoo · 24/02/2011 20:37

well, if i put myself in lisa's shoes and that was the initial reaction, i would be regretting telling him, blaming myself (he was angry with her for not telling him, for letting dennis come to the house and back to the factory with the other staff), feeling guilty and ashamed. not what any rape victim should be feeling and especially not be made to feel liek that by their husband/partner. i accept that it was Zac's personality but i do think shows like this have a responsibilty to their audience and i don't think it gives out a very good message to any woman who ever experiences rape or to any partner WRT how to support the victim.

I blamed my tears on my pregnancy hormones!! Wink don't think my husband believed me! A great scene from Zac and Lisa! Burn Derek at the stake! Grin

hi, a bit confused, only saw a couple this week: there was a Zac, but the women were Ameena and Kayleigh. Who is Lisa (or are you talking about a different series?)
