00:00 Elle Mulvaney Addresses Amy's Trust Issues With Men Ahead Of Ardi Love Story In Coronation
00:04 Street.
00:06 Amy Barlow has found herself struggling to trust men after her horrifying ordeal at the
00:10 hands of Aaron Sanford in Coronation Street earlier this year.
00:15 Back in March, Amy was raped by former friend Aaron while asleep in her bed, and has found
00:20 her mental health suffering ever since.
00:23 This has meant that she has struggled to manage university and maintaining a normal life
00:27 with her friends, as actress Elle Mulvaney revealed.
00:31 Amy's still very distracted by what happened, even though she's trying to put as much effort
00:35 into her uni work as possible, things keep getting in her way.
00:40 In upcoming scenes, Amy decides that she wants to help other women who have been through
00:44 similar circumstances by setting up a drop-in counseling session.
00:49 When a woman slips away from the session without Amy getting the chance to talk to her, she
00:53 feels disheartened, but soon gets another chance when she bumps into the same woman
00:57 in the cafe a few days later.
00:59 Desperate to help, Amy invites the girl, Kate, over for a chat, though Elle Mulvaney reveals
01:05 that Amy finds it difficult to listen to Kate's story.
01:09 After hearing Kate's story, Amy is even more determined to help people and decides to attend
01:14 the anti-spiking march.
01:16 However, things go downhill when Mason shouts some disparaging remarks, sending Amy into
01:22 a complete frenzy.
01:24 When the police get involved, she lashes out further and ends up getting herself arrested.
01:29 Despite promising best friend Asha Allahan that she has learnt her lesson and will focus
01:34 on her uni work from here on in, Amy ends up going to a club, where she comes face to
01:38 face with Dan.
01:40 Amy takes matters into her own hands with Dan, but what is she up to?
01:45 While Amy continues to struggle with her mistrust of men, Ardi Allahan remains a tower of strength
01:50 for her, and actress Elle hopes the pair may be more than friends in the future.
01:55 As a viewer watching, we're all rooting for them because everyone can see that they've
01:59 got a great friendship, they're so similar and share a great sense of humour with their
02:03 one-liners.
02:05 The McDonalds and the Allahans are both iconic families so I think as viewers, everyone wants
02:09 them to get together, but whether or not it's the right time for Amy, is another question.
02:15 I think as much as Amy has fancied him for quite a long time, the challenging part will
02:19 be how a rape victim overcomes the fact that she has been raped and how she discovers a
02:23 way to be intimate with people again.
02:26 I think that will be something which is really interesting to explore on screen because anybody
02:30 who has read anything about rape or knows any rape victims knows that it's no straight
02:34 path to recovery.
02:36 I think it's very difficult for people who've had something like this which is so traumatic
02:40 happen to them, to become fine again and become okay with being intimate with somebody.
02:45 And the idea of being in a relationship with somebody again is really, really challenging.
02:51 Is there a future ahead for Amy and Ardy?
