Ellis Chapman has a panic attack when he thinks he spots dodgy Max walking through the village

Ellis Chapman (Asan N'Jie) hasn't been the same since the night out in Hotten which ended in him getting stabbed. The vicious attack was a result of an old crime of Ellis' brother Billy's (Jay Kontzle) and it's left innocent Ellis in a state.

When Ellis spots someone walking past the house who looks like Max (Jordan Reece) – another of Billy's aggro adversaries who recently caused lots of trouble – he's terrified and has a panic attack.
