Zain Younis (portrayed by Zain Khan) is a student at Ackley Bridge College. He argues with Jordan Wilson (Samuel Bottomley) when Zain calls him out on his racism. Zain states that he has a crush on classmate Alya Nawaz (Maariah Hussain), who replies that he has no chance with her. His father, also named Zain Younis (Nish Nathwani), objects to Zain attending Ackley Bridge College, and attempts to make him quit for another school.
