Hollyoaks<\/a> has recast the role of Kathleen-Angel McQueen as part of a new storyline involving the 16-year-old.

Elsewhere in the show, Theresa has been supporting Dodger<\/a> as he comes to terms with his rape ordeal<\/a>, encouraging him to visit a support group and speak to other survivors.<\/p>\n

Dodger was raped by Griff Farnedge \u2013 while his colleague Donny Clark suffered a similar attack which was carried out by Sully.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Dodger found the courage to discuss his ordeal during a work hearing, but his road to recovery is far from over as he navigates life after the attack.<\/p>\n

Hollyoaks airs on Mondays-Wednesdays with its Channel 4 streaming<\/a> premiere at 7am, then an E4 broadcast the same night at 7pm. Full episodes are also released on YouTube a week after their Channel 4 release.<\/p>\n

Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
