Former Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian has revealed why it was "tough" filming the Channel 4 soap's memorable and controversial storyline, when teacher Becca Hayton started a romance with her student Justin Burton.
Ali confessed the plot, that sparked controversy at the time and even led to her being heckled in the street, was challenging while "ground breaking". "Chris was quite young at the time and they gave it a couple of years of seed sowing before they really pushed the button on the storyline. "I think that meant we had a story line that really challenged viewers perceptions of right and wrong all the way along. It was very cleverly written."
