Doctors spoilers: WHAT does Shak Hanif tell Tanya Rees?
Shak is worried his mum Ruhma is risking her job by helping troubled mum-to-be Tanya on Doctors. But what will he do about it?
Ruhma Carter (played by Bharti Patel) is still suspended from her job as midwife on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).
However, to the concern of her son, Shak Hanif (Sunjay Midda), Ruhma has managed to get herself into a whole lot of trouble, helping pregnant Tanya Rees (Leila Mimmack).
Last week, Tanya's violent husband, Mark discovered she was hiding out at Ruhma's house.
He burst into the house and physically tried to drag terrified Tanya home, until Shak overpowered Mark and the police were called.

But how will Ruhma react when Shak tells her he thinks it is time Tanya returned home, now that Mark is in police custody awaiting trial?
