Lanika (Sarah Patel)

Lanika was the fiancée of Jamil Fadel, tracking him down to Hollyoaks in September 2010 after he disappeared on their wedding night. Lanika turned up at the Hall of Residence, introducing herself to Jamil's friends as his wife (their marriage was recognised in Muslim culture, but not in the eyes of the law). Jamil was left angered by her presence, but she refused to leave without knowing why Jamil jilted her. Jamil revealed that he was unhappy with an arranged marriage, despite his older brother Rashad having a happy marriage arranged by their parents. Jamil insulted Lanika and she stormed off.
Lee Hunter found an upset Lanika in the SU Bar and comforted her as she explained what happened between them. He convinced Lanika to return to the flat and also convinced Jamil to tell her the truth. Jamil apologised and ultimately changed his mind after their discussion, deciding to marry Lanika. However, Jamil seemed to change his mind on the day, worrying Lanika. Jamil arrived at the wedding after being kidnapped and released by Texas Longford and Darren Osborne, only to jilt Jamil at the altar. She told Jamil that he was not yet a man and she did not want to marry him, kissing him on the cheek before leaving.
