books. Yasmin eventually gave Gabriel a second chance, and even got engaged. However, feeling the heat from a car scam which had involved local residents Jim Webb (Jo Dow) and Jake Walker (Seb Castang), Gabriel went on the run from the police. Yasmin was left on her own once again. Shortly after Gabriel's abrupt departure, Yasmin came face to face with old School friend Marc MacKenzie (Michael Wildman) and Yasmin's friend Geri Evans (Anna Acton) began dating Marc. Marc, having been coaxed into posing as Yasmin's fiance for a magazine competition, began having real feelings for Yasmin. Yasmin could no longer hide her feelings and the two married in December 2003, upsetting Geri. Marc quickly became bored with married life and began an affair with Geri in January 2004. Yasmin eventually found out but faked a pregnancy to hold on to Marc. In May 2004, as part of an interactive storyline, viewers could decide via text message who Marc would choose. Marc chose Yasmin, but after learning of Geri's illness, Marc was thrown out and left Charnham shortly after. In early 2005, following her divorce from Marc, Yasmin went to a speed-dating night in the pub and met Adam Green (Ben Hull), a businessman. Within a matter of weeks, Yasmin and Adam were married. Several residents had their suspicions about Adam, but every time they came closer to the truth, Adam covered his tracks. Adam, knowing Yasmin wanted anything more than to have a family of her own, informed her of somebody over the internet looking for someone to adopt their baby. Yasmin sold the store and gave Adam the money. It wasn't until Babs explained that Yasmin was being taken for a ride that things came clear. Once Yasmin confronted Adam, he laughed in her face and got a punch for his troubles which was witnessed by another girlfriend, one of many, who happened to be pregnant. After Marc's return to Charnham in November 2005 and a failed reconciliation, Yasmin set her sights on young Reverend Damian Harrison (Richard Frame) before the series ended.
