‘There’s nobody I’d rather do this life with other than you @slongchambon .. Happy anniversary to us!’
Life for Maria so far this year has been traumatic. Her young son Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) was relentlessly bullied by Mason (Luca Toolan) and his gang and things got so bad, he started to google ways he could end his life.
Thankfully, Liam was found in time by Maria and Gary (Mikey North) before anything happened. He was able to get help for his mental health and with time, started to open up about the horrific ordeal Mason put him through.
After it transpired that Mason had threatened Liam with a knife, he was arrested and charged, before being found guilty of the crime in court.
Because this wasn’t his first offence, the judge had no choice but to give him a custodial sentence.
