Pushed to the brink, is there any hope Geordie and Jane can ever find each other again?

4 Extra Debut. Pushed to the brink, is there any hope Geordie and Jane Kellegher can ever find each other again? Stars Adrian Dunbar and Zara Turner. From March 2013.

Somewhere along the way, Geordie and Jane have lost each other. Life has swallowed them up in the daily grind of screaming kids, unpaid bills and a teenage son who hates the world. Whatever happened to them? They were so happy, full of plans for the future and looking forward to having a family together. Now it is an endless cycle of bad luck and struggling to make ends meet. Jane is trying to cope, Geordie can't cope, but maybe just somewhere - in a little moment in this day - Geordie and Jane are about to find each other again.
