Storylines[]
At the start Zoe Ramsden is on the bus and Lewis Seddon comes over and starts talking to her and later sees Craig Harris pinning her up on by the fence and knocking her to the floor. Lewis ends up developing a crush on Zoe, but this doesn't end up going anywhere.
Zoe arrived at the school heavily pregnant and demanded to see headteacher, Jack Rimmer. She tells Kim Campbell that she was the daughter of a the landlord of a pub where Jack used to drink. Upon meeting him, Zoe dropped the bombshell that he was the father of her baby, conceived after a drunken one night stand and told him she wanted £10,000 from him in exchange for her staying quiet about it. A shocked Jack comes clean to deputy head Andrew Treneman about Zoe's blackmail threats and in the process revealed he thought she was at least 18, unaware she was actually 15. After Andrew convinced him not to give into her demands, Jack decided to resign.
Zoe proceeds to go into labour during an English lesson with Tom Clarkson and gave birth to a baby girl. This event led to Tom wanting to keep Lorna's unborn baby, but unbeknownst to him Lorna had already aborted it, later lying to Tom that she'd miscarried.
Kim puts two and two together and realises Zoe had lied to her about the due date of her baby after previously telling her she only was six and a half months pregnant. Zoe then admits that Jack wasn't the father, and that they didn't even do anything on the supposed night of the one night stand, and the blackmail was the idea of her abusive boyfriend Craig Harris — a former pupil who had been expelled from the school previously and was intent on gaining revenge on Jack.
