Mark arrives in the village to see his ex-girlfriend Jessica, who did not know he was visiting, in attempts to rebuild their relationship. He decides to switch courses and transfer from his old university to study at Hollyoaks Community College. Mark is over-joyced with happiness when Jessica agrees to resume their relationship. However, he discovers that Gilly Roach (Anthony Quinlan) also likes Jessica. Mark is shocked when Jessica reveals that she has been going out with them both at the same time.

Mark begins to feud with Gilly for Jessica's affections, however she grows tired of their arguing and refuses to go out with either of them.
