This is a long-running soap with many characters, so some stories are in the past and will be referenced infrequently in present episodes. Stories are normally sensitively, albeit imperfectly. As this is a pre-watershed program violence has to be off-screen but events are often played for emotional drama, and will be discussed frequently in a way that may cause some viewers distress. Crimes are generally recognized as such and several plotlines involve offenders being taken to court; while this is generally a positive point, it also could be distressing.
