Dr Evil v psycho Steph
11:33 11 May 2006
Emmerdale's dastardly doc Adam Forsythe will try to have his newlywed wife declared insane.
He married the unhinged daughter of Alan Turner after a murderous attack on her brother Terence.
And he will launch his most sinister plot yet when Steph decides she must tell police about Terence's killing.
Adam, played by Richard Shelton, feeds his wife mind-bending drugs and she ends up in a mental hospital.
Last night a series insider confirmed: "Viewers will shed few tears for Steph, who murdered her dad's girlfriend Shelly Williams by pushing her from the side of a ferry. But fans won't want Adam to win as he is every bit as psychotic as Steph.
Dr Adam, who is disbarred from practising medicine, wants his wife to spend the rest of her life as a "sectioned" patient.
But he will panic and see a life sentence looming when a psychiatric assessment recommends her release. The soap mole added: "Adam sees his past catching up with him so he visits Steph during a hospital visit.
"Steph begins to hallucinate and lashes out, hitting a doctor who is trying to restrain her. It sends her back to square one."
But ex-jailbird Steph quickly realises what has happened - and vows revenge on her evil husband.
