EastEnders revealed last week that they will be tackling the subject of sexual consent in upcoming scenes, after Ruby Allen attends a party with a group of lads.
When Ruby confides in her friend the following day, Stacey stands by her, but when the accused tells a different story, viewers will be left as divided as Stacey over who's telling the truth.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Louisa Lytton explains: "It's very important. It's a mainstream TV show with such a diverse audience. They have just covered the massive knife crime story which is very current and important, and now they are doing this.

"It's more of a consent storyline and it's showing people the rights and wrongs and how black and white it is – it's not really a grey area.
"We are working with Rape Crisis and I am in contact with them pretty much every day. They oversee every script that comes in as it's so important to portray this as true to life as we can."
"Obviously, this is one person's story so we are not trying to say, 'This is what rape is'. But it's important to work with organisations like Rape Crisis and they've been brilliant.
"I think it is going to split the audience about views on consent and what happens to her, which will be a good thing."
