You Can’t Ask That: April 28

You Can’t Ask That returns tonight with the episode that took years to make.

When we put out the call for people who had cheated on their partners to appear in the episode, we were met with a stony silence. But finally, here’s a group who bravely take a seat and face possibly the harshest questions ever asked on You Can’t Ask That.

Question one, ‘How could you be such a pig?’ Lisa and her husband sat on the couch watching TV and eating noodles when she just had to blurt it out. “I’m just like, I lied to you. I slept with someone else, I’m pregnant.”

Lisa’s husband had undergone a vasectomy after their third child. Lisa, now pregnant to another man, could no longer hide her affair.

Lisa is joined in the hot seat, by a gay priest, a rebellious 1950’s housewife, a bisexual male, a woman who cheated on every boyfriend she ever had, and a larger-than-life rural fire fighter whose affair with a younger woman ended up reigniting the spark in his marriage.

This is an episode that goes beyond finger-pointing. It reveals stories about acceptance, personal integrity and the positive outcomes that come with facing harsh realities.

Production Credits: You Can’t Ask That is an ABC Production. Series Director and Producer: Kirk Docker, Series Producer: Josh Schmidt, Executive Producer: Frances O’Riordan and Head of Entertainment: Nicholas Hayden.

9pm tonight on ABC.
