Airs Monday 31 January 2022 at 1:45pm on BBC1.
Daisha Rashid (played by Sophie Kandola) was hoping to carry on her holiday romance with Hazeem Durrani (Ashraf Ejjbair) after tracking him down in Letherbridge on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
But ever since Daisha's unexpected arrival earlier this month, Hazeem has been less than enthusiastic about picking-up where they left off in Thailand.
And now it looks like their romance is officially on the rocks - just as Daisha has found them a flat to move into together in Leicester.
Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) is not at all impressed by the way her nephew, Hazeem has treated Daisha.
So she secretly decides to stay in touch with Daisha, and try to undo some of the damage heartless Hazeem has done...
Meanwhile, Hazeem's lazy layabout ways continue.
He doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get a job, despite getting plenty of good advice from surgery business manager, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee).
Bear is unimpressed to discover that Hazeem has turned down the job he set-up for him.
Hazeem reckons he's destined for bigger and better things.
But his lazy ways could soon see him outstay his welcome with Ruhma!

But Rachelle is finding his mental health issues difficult to handle and their relationship is clearly strained.
Jimmi encourages Rachelle to open-up and share her feelings.
But Tim is left reeling when Rachelle confesses she feels more like his carer than his girlfriend!
Could the counselling session be make... or BREAK for the couple?
