Tegan currently believes that Peri is her little sister, but everything changes next month when Leela exposes the fact that Sam and Danny aren't the schoolgirl's biological mother and father.

The big revelation will have a significant impact on the family - including Tegan once she knows that Peri is actually her niece. As Tegan was in hospital with leukaemia through most of Leela's pregnancy, she had no idea about the long-held family secret.
Speaking to Digital Spy at the launch of Pentahotel Birmingham, Ellis explained: "I think Tegan might feel a little bit betrayed, because once again she's the last to know.
"Tegan has a really close bond with Leela, and after everything she went through when she gave birth to Rose, her sister has never really turned around and said, 'Don't worry, I've been through this myself and everything's going to be alright'.
"Tegan will wonder what else they've all been lying about. Also, how do you shift from being a sister to being an aunty? Does that change anything and will that make the dynamics of the family different?"
On the longer-term plans for the Lomaxes, she continued: "Things are going to get turned upside-down like never before. There's some really big things coming and the next four weeks are going to be massive for the Lomax family. People are really going to be talking about us."

Show bosses are also planning to revisit the fun side of Tegan's personality following her darker storylines with gangster Fraser Black.
Ellis said: "We always wanted Tegan to be a fun character. When she was involved in the 'Who Killed Fraser?' storyline she spent a lot of time lying to her family, but it was great for me to be involved in one of the biggest storylines of the year.
"I think we did lose a little bit of her fun side, so recently we've seen more of her light-hearted side with Blessing. We're definitely going to see more of that fun side of Tegan and there's some friendship and romance when she is paired with someone unexpected.
"There's also something else that happens to her which I think is going to warm everyone's hearts."
