Seems soaps are meant to reflect real life with of course lots of unrealistic bits in it .. like with most unpleasant storylines, I guess they are highlighting inappropriate behaviour from a teacher and potential step-parent towards a child .. as distasteful as it is, if it opens the eyes of viewers where this might happen in real life, then it will have served a purpose. All soaps these days are portraying storylines that would have been out of the question years ago .. but I cannot help feeling that they are necessary these days .. life has changed so much from when these programmes were first introduced ..
