They felt all loved up and on cloud nine, but then faced yet another hurdle when Charity (Emma Atkins) and Leyla (Roxy Shahidi) stuck their noses in.

Once Leyla made Jacob panic about being in a relationship with Sarah – who has fanconi anemia (FA) – he thought it would be best to put a halt on things before it developed any further.
