Emmerdale: Lydia’s raped by Craig
Currently, Lydia has been enjoying getting herself reacquainted with childhood friend Craig who was also the father of her late baby, Toby.
She’s also been working as a cleaner over in the offices at Craig’s company.
However, this week, things took a bad turn when Craig arrived and asked Lydia more about baby Toby. Lydia then showed Craig the place where Toby’s ashes were scattered, with the pair shared an emotional moment together.
However, as the pair almost kissed each other, Lydia later realised what she must do and handed Craig her resignation.
Unhappy about Lydia’s decision, Craig told her how much he likes her before forcing himself upon her.
Afterwards, Lydia struggled to process the rape as Craig drove her back home.
Hiding her clothes away and taking a shower once home, Lydia kept the traumatic event to herself and failed to tell her loved ones.
Ignoring Craig’s phone calls, Lydia stays silent in her room and hides herself away. She’s been left unable to process everything, but has been carrying on as normal. Lydia even burned the clothes she was wearing in Wednesday night’s episode (September 6).
