Ackley Bridge spoilers: Series 3 Episode 2

Kaneez (Sunetra Sarker) and Simone (Samantha Power) wait anxiously for news on Nas (Amy-Leigh Hickman) and Missy (Poppy Lee Friar). Sam (Megan Parkinson) recruits her cousins to seek revenge, and as the reaction rapidly escalates, a chasm opens between Ackley Bridge’s white and Asian communities with the school at the centre of the tensions.

Mandy (Jo Joyner) and her staff are reeling when behaviour spirals out of control. Martin (Robert James-Collier) is tasked with mentoring cocky new PE teacher Hassan (Hareet Deol) who’s more interested in being liked by the pupils than being an authority figure.

Mandy also tries to tempt Emma (Liz White) back to Ackley Bridge College.
