In MATES, DATES AND CHOCOLATE CHEATS, Izzie is desperately trying to lose weight but all she seems to be losing is her confidence. She stops appreciating the things in her life that are special - her supportive friends, her selection for a TV teen panel and the cute boy at the studio who seems to like her just the way she is. Then in MATES, DATES AND DIAMOND DESTINY, Nesta's life is thrown into upheaval when she gets involved in charity work for the wrong reasons (to meet boys). But just as she begins to genuinely want to help others, she meets William, who questions her motives. Izzie, Lucy and TJ are not convinced by the mutual hatred though, and think it's more like love. TJ is torn between charmer Ollie and old flame Luke in MATES, DATES SIZZLING SUMMERS, and events have conspired to make her look like a two-timer. But all of this seems unimportant when someone close is taken seriously ill. More than ever, TJ needs a clear head and the support of friends Lucy, Nesta and Izzie.
