On Thursday’s episode (April 25), Zack (James Farrar) was shocked to discover the truth about Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Britney Wainwright (Lola Campbell). Whitney had deceived Zack by falsely claiming that she had legally adopted Britney. In reality, Whitney had paid Britney’s mother to take her from Milton Keynes in an effort to protect her. Devastated by this revelation, Zack sought solace at Peggy’s club and ended up succumbing to the sexual tension between him and Lauren, with whom he had shared a secret kiss a few weeks earlier.
After leaving the club, Zack and Lauren went to get some chips and soon found themselves in a back alley, where their desire for each other led to them starting to undress before the scene faded to black. This turn of events sparked various reactions from viewers, with one calling the scene “filthy” while another pondered why Zack took his coat off.
