The fall leaves her unconscious, but rather than call for help, the tormented teen flees the scene, leaving his mother for dead.

Eventually she is found by neighbours who rush her to hospital where doctors fight desperately to save her life.

Of his character, Jack P Shepherd has said: "He started out as a sweet and innocent boy but is growing more and more into a nasty piece of work.

"He can be really twisted and psychotic."
