Geoff locks Yasmeen in a box!
YASMEEN TRAPPED AND TERRIFIED AS HER EVIL HUSBAND CROSSES A LINE…
Wicked Geoff pulls an unforgivable stunt this week, leaving terrified Yasmeen shaken to the core…
After the magician forces Yasmeen to take part in his ‘crushed in a box’ routine for a children’s birthday party, mortified Geoff blames Yasmeen when the trick doesn’t go to plan. So when the pair get home, he sadistically traps her for real – locking his wife in the box again while he heads off down the pub!
The cruel irony of Yasmeen’s nightmare is that, on the same day, Alya wants to treat her grandma to a relaxing massage – until Geoff scuppers their plans by roping Yasmeen into being his magician’s assistant at Michael’s daughter’s party.
“Geoff doesn’t want Yasmeen to spend the day with Alya,” sighs Shelley King, who plays Yasmeen. “He is so instinctive and determined to isolate her from her family, despite Yasmeen telling him that she doesn’t cope well with enclosed spaces.”
Yasmeen suffers from claustrophobia, so the last thing she wants is to clamber into a box while showman Geoff performs his act. Nevertheless, Yasmeen does as her husband asks – only for him to turn on her when it all goes pear-shaped.
“The audience is laughing and taunting Geoff, but it is all in good humour,” insists Shelley. “Initially, when Yasmeen gets out of the box she is really happy, because everyone is having a good time.”
“Geoff doesn’t want Yasmeen to spend time with Alya…”
However, when Geoff discovers that a video of the cock-up has been posted online, he loses it and trolls Yasmeen with the footage. Interestingly, he also has a pop at Tim, who is surprised that his father isn’t able to see the funny side of the whole thing.
Tim just sees a snapshot of Geoff’s true colours, though, while Yasmeen continues to bear the brunt of his fury.
“Of course, what she hasn’t accounted for is that his ego has been dented,” shares Shelley. “When they are back at the house, he begins to berate Yasmeen, saying it’s her fault and pushing the video in her face very aggressively. She’s very scared as Geoff is physically stronger, and Yasmeen feels threatened.”
The worst of his awful abuse is still to come, however, as Geoff dupes Yasmeen into getting into his magic box again, under the ruse that he’s making some amendments to the design.
The horrifying reality is that Geoff wants to teach Yasmeen a lesson.
Once she is inside the box, he fetches his keys and locks Yasmeen in – before heading off to the Rovers!
“Yasmeen doesn’t know it’s deliberate,” reveals Shelley. “She’s aware that Geoff has left the house, but she doesn’t know that he locked her in. She panics and starts beating the inside of the box.”
To Yasmeen’s astonishment, though, it’s not Geoff who lets her out – but Tim! Geoff’s horrified when he returns home to find the pair sitting on the sofa together, and is confronted by sceptical Tim, who doesn’t quite believe his dad’s excuses.
As Yasmeen is forced to confront the idea that Geoff deliberately imprisoned her – and more people gradually catch on to his behaviour – will he finally be brought to account for his abuse?
