Later on, Alya confides her feelings in Ryan, who advises her to put down all of what she’s said in a victim statement. And after pulling Alya in for a hug, the embrace soon turns into a passionate kiss…

Daisy’s stalking nightmare intensifies

There’s no respite for poor Daisy, who receives a voicemail from Justin explaining that he found her number on a delivery package. And no sooner has she been told this than her phone is bombarded with a string of texts from Justin.

Daisy is then convinced by Daniel that she should go to the police. But PC Scott plays the matter down, and when Daisy later returns home, she’s horrified to discover that the officer has liked all her holiday photos.

The week then goes from bad to worse when Daisy encounters Justin bearing a bunch of flowers in his hand. Storming over, Daisy grabs the bouquet and stamps on it. But when Justin then places a calming hand on her arm, Daisy sees red and punches him – earning herself an accusation of assault when she’s reported to the police.

Spider takes action against Len Cameron

Maria is heartened when she discovers that Len Cameron has had a change of heart and now appears set to fund the refugee centre.

Friday’s drama then finds Maria left annoyed when Len invites the press to photograph him handing over a cheque for the funding. But what neither are expecting is for Spider and a colleague to arrive screeching onto the scene in a car. Why, though, are they wearing stab vests? And what do they have planned?
