When a brief affair in Tina Brown's past resulted in an unplanned pregnancy, she decided not to share the news with the father, Calum Stacey. Tina brought up Leanne alone, having decided to provide her with the full facts of her past once she turned 18 years old. With her birthday just months away, Leanne is rushed into a hospital with suspected meningitis, and Tina feels she has no choice but to contact Calum without delay. Calum's engagement to a well-known celebrity makes him newsworthy and there is mounting speculation surrounding his past.
