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.
Belle's love life has been anything but smooth sailing – from her toxic relationship with killer Lachlan White, to the heartbreak of losing Jermaine and the mental health battle that followed.
She later fell for Ellis Chapman and had a rocky romance with Jamie Tate, who left her high and dry before vanishing from the village.
More recently, Belle tied the knot with Tom King, but their whirlwind marriage quickly turned dark as his controlling behaviour left fans fearing for her safety.
Now, with Kammy on the scene, viewers are hoping Belle finally gets the happy ending she deserves – but in true Emmerdale fashion, it's never that simple.
Meanwhile, Kammy burst into the village earlier this year, nicking a quad bike and landing Ross Barton in hot water.
Since then, he's been working at the garage, showing off his skills — and a cheeky streak.
Now, with romance rumours swirling, Kammy could be sticking around for more than just mischief.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Makeup free Carol Vorderman shares sweet snap with best friend of 35 years after 'bliss' French getaway after she admitted to having five 'special' friends
Carol Vorderman embraced her natural beauty in a makeup free snap as she cosied up with her best friend after her recent holiday. The Countdown star, 64, posed for a selfie with her best friend of 35 years Craig Burton as she gushed over their incredible holiday in France. She penned: 'BACK FROM FAMILY HOLS IN FRANCE (12 of us❤️) at my friend's house @tafiartfrance (you can book whole house too or just one room for B&B for a few nights, it's a real heaven)'. Detailing her strong bond with Craig she explained: 'I've known Craigy B @thecraigburton for over 35 years. We met through friends at Yorkshire TV in Leeds where Richard Whiteley and I made Countdown. 'Craigy B and I have laughed ever since. He's proper Yorkshire and PROPER funny and we've got so many friends in common. 'Love him…. Well let's face it… everyone who meets him loves him.' She added: 'Ps wearing no make up for 10 days is heaven itself not that I'm a lazy b***er or anything!!!' Craig also reposted the snap as he penned: 'Proper friends are still in our lives come rain or shine thanks for our time at @tafiartfrance oh to measure friendship in 'laughs' xx @carolvorders'. It comes after Carol admitted she has five 'special friends' who she has relationships with - although she has previously said she 'doesn't do one night stands.' Carol previously revealed she's 'not into one night stands' but dates multiple men whom she affectionately names her 'special friends'. Speaking to You magazine back in 2023, the star said that it was all working very well because she doesn't want to be in love and isn't a jealous person. Carol said her lovers are all single - and she said she wouldn't mind if any of her lovers fell for someone else and moved on. 'Oh yeah, yeah, my 'special friends',' she said. 'I'm continuing with that system and it's working very well.' There are five of them. She said: 'One's been a friend for 11 years, one for seven. My kids [Katie, 31, and Cameron, 25], know most of them.' Craig also reposted the snap as he penned: 'Proper friends are still in our lives come rain or shine thanks for our time at @tafiartfrance oh to measure friendship in 'laughs' xx' Carol admitted she relishes the independence and the freedom the setup gives her and says there is no problem with her partners wanting more intimacy than it offers, 'as long as you're all honest and have a good time'. All involved are single – she works on the principle that you should 'do no harm' – and if one met somebody else, it'd be fine. She continued: 'I'm not a jealous person and I'm happy when my friends are happy, whether they are "special friends" or not. 'The goal of my life is to be happy, not to be in love. I just find people interesting and life interesting. 'And you can get to a stage where you choose which bits you enjoy. You can't in your 30s because you're making your way in your career, you're beholden to bosses and all those sorts of things. But in your 60s…' Carol has been single since she split from journalist Des Kelly in 2007, after being married twice, first to Christopher Mather from 1985 to 1986 and then to second husband Patrick King from 1990 until 2000 - the father of her two children.

Mark Labbett feared he would 'die a bachelor' before finding fame on The Chase and then marrying his second cousin Katie
Mark Labbett feared he would 'die a bachelor' because women were not interested in him before he found fame on The Chase. The 59-year-old TV personality was a single man 'for over 20 years' before he joined the ITV quiz show as The Beast in 2009, and then he went on to be in a several serious relationships. This included his second cousin Katie Labbett, 32, who he met on Facebook in 2010, began to date in 2012 and then married in 2014. They welcomed their seven-year-old son Lawrence in 2018, but Katie and Mark split in 2020. Following The Beast's separation from Katie, Mark dated TV presenter Hayley Palmer, 44, in 2023. However, in May 2024, he dumped Hayley days after their first dating anniversary in a 'three-minute' phone call. Now, Mark is taking part in the E4 dating show Celebs Go Dating. He hopes to find his perfect match, with the help of the programme's dating agents, Paul Carrick Brunson, 50, Anna Williamson, 44, and Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, 36. Mark exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the Celebs Go Dating launch party event at The Broadcaster gastropub in White City, West London, on July 24: 'It's getting to the point now with the joy of social media, a photo of me with a woman suddenly it's a new date. 'With this girl, I said, 'Sorry about this, I did warn you if you put up that photo.' 'And I tend to think, 'Where was all this speculation 20, 25 years ago?' 'I was a single man for over 20 years. I genuinely thought at one point before The Chase came along, 'Am I going to die a bachelor?' 'Suddenly, I'm in a relationship, which is why this has been good because you listen to experts, so finding out advice from them.' In 2020, Katie - who had been dating senior design engineer Scott Bate for 18 months at the time - and Mark split because their attempts at an open marriage failed. The Beast also blamed other factors, including their 27-year age gap, the Covid-19 lockdown and his own mental health, for their eventual split. In 2024, Hayley and Mark separated - with Hayley claiming at the time he dumped her because he 'didn't want to divorce his ex-wife', but Mark later told The Sun newspaper their separation was because he 'got old'. However, Mark - who had a 15-year age gap with Hayley - insisted to BANG Showbiz he does not have a 'bad word' to say about Katie or Hayley. Asked if he thinks it is now better to share a similar age with someone, as opposed to having a big age gap like he did with Katie and Hayley, Mark said: 'What I would say is age is really important to some people and completely unimportant to others. 'And, ultimately, I think it's down to the individual relationship. 'I've dated women who are older than me, and I've got no problems with it.' Celebs Go Dating 2025 starts on Monday, August 11, at 9pm on E4.
