Karen (played by Jan Pearson) and Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) have welcomed siblings, Tom (Max True) and Ella Robson (Lily-Mae Evans) into their home after the SHOCK murder of their mum on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).

But could it be that the teenagers are hiding a SHOCK secret?

Karen is alarmed when she gets a call from Tom's school and discovers he hit another student, after they impersonated his dad, who was arrested for their mum's murder.

But when Karen tries to talk to Tom about his behaviour, he snaps and throws his school bag at her!
