EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson has spoken out about the latest scandal on the BBC soap, after viewers threatened to boycott it because of it's 'offensive and sickening' rape storyline. Viewers were left feeling "physically sick" after Dean Wicks forced Linda Carter to take back her rape accusation in harrowing scenes in Wednesday's episode, 22 November. Dean said he wouldn't report George if Linda would confess to 'lying' about him raping her, as he continued to insist they had consensual sex.
