A spokesperson told The Mirror: “EastEnders has covered every other conceivable issue.
“If sexual violence or rape was the only big topic EastEnders never approached, it would reinforce the idea sexual violence is unspeakable.
“Because people relate to soaps they can have a social impact and make people feel less alone or encourage them to come forward and seek support for the first time.”

According to the report Dean (Matt Di Angelo) will attempt to rape his girlfriend Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) in another shocking twist to the story.
As viewers will know, Dean raped his sister-in-law Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) last year.
The scenes are due to be aired at the end of this year after which the character will be leaving the show.
