RAPED by her childhood sweetheart Craig Reed, Lydia Dingle is left struggling to cope in the aftermath of her attack. <\/p>\n

Matters go from bad to worse next week in Emmerdale when she gets a devastating update on her attacker. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

The fan favourite played by Karen Blick was raped in heart-breaking scenes after agreeing to work for her former boyfriend, Craig (Ben Addis). <\/p>\n

Lydia was left a shell of herself, feeling trapped in silence as Craig manipulated her into believing she had given him consent before he threw himself at her. <\/p>\n

But in recent scenes of the ITV soap, Kim Tate got the truth out of Lydia and the cleaner opened up to her family about her ordeal as they believed she was having an affair with Craig. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the path to healing is not linear and Lydia is still finding it hard to get back to a normal life after her rape. <\/p>\n
