Speaking about the developments, Jon explained no major changes were made to storylines as he said: “I think it’s a responsibility of a soap to reflect int he great world and the great society and the seismic shifts that have happened in the country and reflect those narratives and what’s going in people’s lives.
“So, of course, we wanted to reflect that but we just adjusted the stories that we had to really, really kind of embrace that.
“As I say, the huge impact on domestic violence narratives that lockdown had, we really kind of touch on that [with Chantelle Atkins and Gray Atkins].
“I think that’s a really kind of powerful story that we can really kind of like weave into the heart of the show.
“So it’s, it’s kind of business as usual but with a COVID twist,” the show’s executive producer added.
