Soap's most harrowing teen storylines
We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.
Belle Dingle's schizophrenia in Emmerdale - Belle's (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral.
The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma's voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being.
Hannah Ashworth's anorexia in Hollyoaks - Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body.
As Hannah's condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life.
Bethany Platt's grooming ordeal in Coronation Street - Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator.
The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her.
Whitney Dean's abuse from Tony in EastEnders - Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca's boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him.
On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.
The gangster will be played by Emmerdale star John Middleton - and he's sticking around as a series regular to go head to head with Clare.
Escaped killer Bobby Costello is also on the run with mum Mercedes McQueen desperate to protect him - but with Tony Hutchinson determined to take revenge, will Bobby escape with his life?

But will she survive to the 30th in October?
And has John Paul McQueen discovered the truth about Jez as he can be seen smashing up the killer's beloved allotment where he keeps all the momentos of the people he's killed.

Emmerdale star confirms very unexpected new friendship for Moira Dingle
Moira Dingle is no stranger to chaos, but in upcoming Emmerdale scenes, the beloved character finds herself fighting multiple battles. From betrayals at home to a terrifying farm break-in, Moira's world is crumbling fast. Natalie J. Robb, who plays the iconic Moira Dingle, teases that just when it seems like things can't get any worse, a surprising new character enters the scene, but this potential friendship may come with strings attached. 'Moira's always been feisty,' Natalie says. 'Moira has always been unpredictable like that, and if anyone threatens her home, and particularly her children, she always sees the red mist. That's never changed; it's been like that since day one. Maybe it's more severe as time's gone on and she's hit the menopause.' Right now, Moira's under serious pressure. After a slurry leak on her land, she's hit with a huge fine, one that pushes her to the brink financially. Worse still, she learns that Joe Tate was pulling strings behind her back. 'A lot of this is coming from the slurry leak, that fine has really put her in trouble, that's Mackenzie's doing, although it's actually John's,' Natalie explains. 'She has all these people going behind her back, making deals behind her back. People are trying to push her out, especially Joe Tate. Everywhere she goes, she's stuck, she's got her back against the wall, and her stress levels are getting higher and higher.' Moira lodges an appeal, but unbeknownst to her, it's already been sabotaged. 'Joe Tate paid the water board to not allow it to go through. She finds that out and obviously confronts Joe,' Natalie reveals. 'It's like a proper battle, we're the peasants and they're the ones that really don't care. They don't care about the land, it's all for access roads and routes to keep different parts of land connected, which she later on finds out.' Joe then pushes Kim Tate's offer to buy the farm, a tempting lifeline that comes with a catch. Moira could stay on as a tenant farmer, but the land would no longer be hers. 'She thinks about it at first because the offer is quite good, and they propose that she can still stay on the farm as a tenant farmer,' Natalie says. 'In this day and age, it's quite a common thing… but they don't own it and at any possible time when a contract ends, they can leave and they wouldn't have any say.' Even Cain is conflicted. 'He doesn't want her to sell, obviously, and he certainly wouldn't want Kim Tate to be the one that buys it,' Natalie explains. 'Nor does Moira, but she also can't deal with the stress. And Cain, after her tumour and everything else, he sees her getting stressed so says he will back her regardless, even though it's not something that he wants.' Things escalate when a break-in at the farm leaves Moira's son Kyle in danger. Two masked intruders, tied to a drug plot involving Robert, scare the boy, who ends up injuring one in self-defence. 'Kyle hears something in the barn so he goes in and sees two guys with balaclavas on, quite frightening,' Natalie says. 'They start threatening him and he panics and pushes the pitchfork out and it catches one of them in the leg. The other one's about to hurt Kyle, and then Moira comes in with a shotgun.' Moira assumes Joe is behind the attack and defies Cain by going to the police. 'She's thinking Joe Tate's gone a step too far,' Natalie explains. 'She tells the police it's him, and no one threatens my children. Kyle's traumatised because of what happened before with him shooting Al, so that brings things up for him.' But when she confronts Joe, it backfires, badly. 'She's like, how dare you do this to my children,' Natalie says. 'He says something that makes her mad and she goes to punch him. Lydia jumps in front of her and gets punched in the ear which is quite horrific. I'm devastated that it's Lydia of all people.' That single moment sparks a fierce Dingle family feud. 'Obvs Moira doesn't handle it in the best way,' Natalie admits, 'but [Sam] knows that she hasn't deliberately done it to Lydia. He's divided more because Cain then threatens Lydia not to press charges. I'm saying to Cain, 'You didn't threaten her, did you?' and he's like, 'No, not at all', but obviously he does, and it all comes out.' Now, Moira must repair broken relationships and deal with a new threat, Celia, a sharp-edged woman renting nearby farmland. Natalie teases. 'She's quite hostile and she's very rude when we first meet. She says, 'I know you need the money and I'd like to rent your farm' for like literally next to nothing, and I'm like, 'No, that's not gonna happen.'' More Trending But Celia quickly changes tack. 'She starts to befriend her and Moira actually quite likes her in the end,' she adds. 'The question is, Celia could be working with someone else to try and push her out, but it's whether Celia will stick with that. She's someone she doesn't want to be reckoned with.' Despite everything, Natalie hopes Moira's resilience shines through. 'She always has problems with the farm, doesn't she? But it's real life, I suppose, because it is tough for farmers out there,' she reflects. 'Hopefully, good things can come from it, new ideas can be made to work on the farm, like glamping sites and things like that. That's in my head, that would be nice.' As Moira's personal and professional lives collide, fans can expect emotional showdowns, shifting loyalties, and a possible new enemy hiding in plain sight. View More » 'She's doing everything she can to keep things together,' Natalie concludes. 'It's just sad that all these people are trying to get a piece of her, and there are more people that are going to come into it with more threatening behaviours. There's some dark people coming into it, which I'm sure you know about.'

Channel 4 insist they are 'proud' to show Bonnie Blue documentary
Bonnie Blue at the launch of her Channel 4 documentary (Image: Edward Ed Gleave) Channel 4 has defended the decision to make a documentary about online porn star Bonnie Blue - insisting it is 'proud' of the film and that is wants to 'stimulate debate". Viewers tuning in to watch 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story this week will receive an on air warning about the content before the documentary airs at 10pm. It features multiple scenes of graphic sex not normally seen on TV. Tia Billinger uses the stage name Bonnie Blue and invites men to have sex with her which she films and makes money from online. She is also known for angering and abusing other women online, including by suggesting she likes to sleep with married men. In January she caused social media outrage by announcing she'd slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Channel 4 insist they are 'proud' to show Bonnie Blue documentary (Image: Instagram/bonnie_blue_xo) The Channel 4 documentary's crew and director rarely question her about the abuse she gives to other women and her financial claims of earning millions each month also go unquestioned or unproven on screen. She also uses other younger girls to make one film and they say they are not being paid, despite the fact Tia would make thousands from the film. Aside from Tia expressing some fears about walking in public alone, the tone is largely celebratory. Asked about their decision to broadcast the documentary, Channel 4 told the Mirror: 'Tia Billinger, via her stage name Bonnie Blue, has gained worldwide attention and millions of pounds in the last year. 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is an observational documentary in which director Victoria Silver follows Tia over the course of six months. The film questions Tia's methods and the divisive style of her social media and hears from colleagues and collaborators in order to understand her polarising business model. "Part of Channel 4's remit is to reflect modern Britain and stimulate debate amongst viewers, and a film such as this, exploring changing attitudes to sex, success, porn, and feminism in an ever-evolving online world is an important addition to those conversations. 'Channel 4 has a track record of programmes that examine the porn industry from a variety of perspectives. In the last two years we have broadcast programmes such as Sex Actually with Alice Levine that looked at a range of sexual experiences, while OnlyFans Got Me Fired: Untold and Confessions of a Cam Girl showed the personal cost of porn for content creators.' They also insisted the sections of the documentary showing Bonnie having sex multiple times across the documentary was necessary. They added: 'Careful consideration has been given to the content and the way in which it is included. The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film is about her work and the response to it. Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a programme warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the programme.' Journalists were shown the film at a screening at Channel 4 last week attended by Tia, where even she expressed surprise at how many sex scenes 'were in there'. Introducing the film, Commissioning Editor Tim Hancock said before the screening: 'I believe it is Channel 4's job to tell stories like this, trying to get behind the truth of the headlines. We film real stories in real time. We are very proud to do films like this.' Asked why there was so much porn in the documentary and if she was braced for complaints, director Victoria Silver said: 'I had to explain to her(Tia) if I was making a film about a musician or some kind of other performer their work would be in there. I think it is important to see what she does.' * 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is on Channel 4 on Tuesday night at 10pm.

TV tonight: Japan's kamikaze pilots and why they were impelled to sacrifice themselves
9pm, BBC FourIt is still absolutely shocking to see footage of the kamikaze attacks that Japan operated for 10 months at the end of the second world war. Nearly 4,000 Japanese pilots died this way and 7,000 allied military personnel were killed. Why did they push this strategy? And why were people so willing to do it?

More from this excellent origin story, as Ella Al-Shamahi makes the case that our much-maligned forebears were far from the knuckle-draggers of popular myth.
