As villains go Dr May is probably one of the loopiest ones around.

In dramatic scenes that will be aired later this month, the crazy lady finally gets her chance to reek further havoc into Dawn Swann's life.

After her many attempts to get hold of baby Summer Dr May (Amanda Drew) failed to convince Dawn to sell her child.

The demented Doctor plans her revenge when she returns as a lady called Jenny after being released from a psychiatric unit.

Her reign of terror begins when she befriends Jase.

'Jenny' asks Dawn's handyman fiance Jase to work on her house and she starts inquiring about his home life.

A clueless Jase then invites the crazy doctor in disguise to babysit Summer while he enjoys his engagement party.

Dr May sees her chance to grab the young baby when she arrives at number 27 but is distressed at the squaller that Summer's parents live in.

She doesn't see them as fit to be parents and decides to set fire to the house.

The blazing inferno ends up killing a member of the Miller family but will Dawn arrive in time to save her baby?

Amanda Drew says: 'May is more erratic than ever, she just can't give up on baby Summer'
