Liam OVERDOSES

Maria's struggling son takes Paul's pills

- ALISON SLADE

Devil child Mason may be locked up, but Liam’s bullying ordeal is far from over, as he’s struggling with anxiety. This week, desperate for some respite, the teenager takes some of Paul’s benzodiazepines… and ends up collapsing.

Liam comes across the pills – which ailing Paul plans to use to end his own life – while having a movie night with Joseph at Billy and Paul’s flat. He suffers a panic attack when Joseph asks how things are going at school, but ignores Joseph’s advice to tell mum Maria.
