EMMERDALE fans have been shocked by scenes showing stunning Jo Sugden getting battered by husband Andy. And shooting the storyline was just as disturbing for Roxanne Pallett – the brave young actress who plays Jo – because she has suffered domestic violence in real life.
Roxanne, 25, says: “I understand the pain and isolation that Jo feels because I have been there myself.”
In the soap, viewers have witnessed Roxanne’s feisty character being thrown against a wall.
Andy promises it will not happen again, but in an episode to be screened later this month another violent outburst ends with him breaking Jo’s wrist.
Andy has turned into a horrible person, I feel sorry for Jo :(
