Doctors spoilers: Has KILLER Simon Robson struck again?
Daniel investigates when prisoner Simon Robson attacks a fellow inmate on Doctors. Is this further proof of Simon's violent temper?
Karen (played by Jan Pearson) and Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) have become increasingly worried about the aggressive behaviour of foster child, Tom Robson (Max True) on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).
So the couple have arranged for teenager Tom and his sister, Ella (Lily-Mae Evans) to have a counselling session with Dr Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) at the Mill.
However, when Jimmi meets with Tom and Ella for separate sessions, he hears conflicting accounts of what really happened the day their dad, Simon (played by ex-Emmerdale star, Tom Lister) confessed to the murder of their mum...
Meanwhile, Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers) is on shift at the local prison when the alarm sounds.
Daniel treats a badly injured prisoner after he is attacked by fellow inmate... Simon Robson!
What was behind the seemingly unprovoked attack? Has Simon's murderous side resurfaced?
Or is there more to the situation than everyone realises?
Elsewhere, there's a SHOCK in store for midwife Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) when she gets an unexpected visit from former patient, Carrie Wade (Sarah Ovens)!
Uh-oh.
Has Carrie come to confront Ruhma again about all that scandalous business involving Ruhma's kiss with Carrie's fiance, Doug Machin?
Ruhma is completely on her guard having been suspended from her job for months because of Carrie's official complaint against her.
But Ruhma is in for a surprise when she discovers the REAL reason Carrie withdrew her complaint...
Doctors continues every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 1:45pm on BBC One

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!
Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)
And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
