It seems that her fears that Rakesh is having an affair have led to her eating disorder coming back

I think it's the fear that he no longer finds her attractive that has led to her bulimia resurfacing. When you've suffered with it before you often find yourself drawn back into it in times of stress and uncertainty. I gives you a sense of comfort and control when everything else seems to be going wrong. I'm glad it's being revisited, an eating disorder is never really cured but carefully managed.

I did wonder if this story would reappear again and not be forgotten about.
It is a sensitive subject that cannot just be cured in a short space of time, and filed away as another box-ticked storyline.

I agree, I also like that they've revisited Belle's mental health problems too. Illnesses like these never really go away for good, they're usually beneath the surface, waiting for it to be triggered again.

I actually really like Priya and whilst she might be a bit of a princess she genuinely does love Rakesh, it's a shame he feels he needs to be so secretive and treat her like she can't handle the truth. Fact is, Priya is strong enough to help him get them out of this mess! She's quite headstrong and deals with problems of this kind quite well, it's when she feels personally inadequate that her issues resurface. Rishi has been good to Rakesh and if he knew the extent of his problems would help him in a flash! It's Rakesh's pride that is causing his whole life to fall apart, and push his poor wife over the edge!

Priya is a very repressed character when with a man. Her and Rakesh are a great pairing but Priya is a shadow of her former self.
