HOLLYOAKS fans spot a blunder as Toby and Celeste AREN’T identical twins – and the sick experiments would NEVER be allowed.

Viewers were shocked when it was dramatically revealed Toby, Celeste and Mitchell were actually triplets.

It was revealed Mitchell, Toby and Celeste are twins

However, life did not pan out well for two of the siblings.

After Martine put Celeste and Toby up for adoption, they were taken in by an evil doctor who experimented on them.

While Celeste was raised in a perfect, loving family, Toby was denied any emotional love or support – all in aid of a book.

Toby told his mum Martine: “We were an experiment for some twisted book – The Red Door. My sister was taken care of, cared for, loved, I was the lab rat.

“We communicated like this – tap tap tap – we knew we weren’t meant to be together so we developed it. Necessity is the mother of invention.”

However, fans have spotted that the experiment is nowhere near scientific.

It cannot be a twin study, because they are conducted on identical twins in order to see if genetic or environmental factors have a certain effect – as they are fraternal twins, their DNA is as different as any other siblings.

Therefore, them being twins as no bearing whatsoever on the experiment.

Also, the experiment is so unethical it would never be published, as it would not make it past an ethics board.

A flashback reveals it was all for a study

One fan wrote: “The purpose of twin studies is to eliminate genetic factors when studying the differences between 2 people, so that environmental and epigenetic [inherited] factors would be the only differences.

“Non-identical twins aren’t genetically the same so there would be no benefit to studying the effect of environmental differences on them.”

Another added: “The Dr who adopted him to experiment with him would be punished for doing such a thing. Yet we’re meant to believe it was to write a PhD or book about? It’s nonsense.”

A third said: “The experiment story is a bit funny anyway. It was not legal, so any published results must have been relativised with “what ifs” and “suppose that-s” and were officially just hypothesis without any proof.

Toby was being kept locked in a room

“Not mentioning the doctor had just a sample of 1 for each case. Not exactly representative.”

Psychologists have to follow a series of ethical guidelines in order to conduct their experiment, according to the British Psychological Society.

This includes the participant having informed consent – meaning guardians must be informed of what’s happening in the experiment to give consent to the experiment.

The participant must be protected from physical and mental distress and they must have the ability to withdraw from the experiment at any time – all were violated by the experiment.
