Can Daniel Granger (played by Matthew Chambers) convince hunger strike student Anita to start eating again on Doctors?

But the students are still at odds with the university's Pro-Vice Chancellor, Matthew Portman (Jason Thorpe), who is putting his financial interests first.

Will they listen?

Meanwhile, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) is getting annoyed by the blossoming friendship between Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Luca Mcintyre (Ross Mclaren).

Emma is trying to help Luca, after finding out that the nurse has been sleeping rough at the surgery.

Is Zara is secretly jealous of Emma and Luca's new friendship?

Elsewhere, midwife Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) helps young mum-to-be, Akua Asante (Yasmin Mwanza).

Akua has been in labour for 24 hours and is exhausted.

But when she asks her partner, Chris Robinson (Tej Obano) to bring her some food, Ruhma warns her not to eat.

She might need a general anaesthetic and eating food could jeopardise the birthing process.

Samuel decides to ignore Ruhma's medical advice.

Will he put Akua and her unborn baby in danger?

Doctors continues every Monday to Thursday at 1:45pm on BBC One
