Emmerdale: Craig raped Lydia

Viewers will know that Craig recently raped Lydia after she handed him her resignation. He forced himself on her and then acted as if he’d done nothing wrong.

In the aftermath of the rape when Craig drove her home, Lydia had a shower and hid her clothes in a basket.

However, she later went to burn her clothes in the woods and kept everything a secret from her loved ones.

With Samson so excited to be getting some work experience from Craig, Lydia took him to work and tried to bottle up her resentment for Craig. That is, until now.
