Doctors: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The setting of a GP's practice means that the series cast is based around 4 or 5 doctors, a nurse and a reception. The actual characters have had a fairly high turnover with most of the current cast only having a 1 or 2 year history on the show but the size of the cast keeps it to a similar sort of format with [[Two Lines, No Waiting]] for one line of plot dealing with some interpersonal problems between the doctors and another plot line often dealing with some [[Patient of the Week]]. These latter plot lines often opened themselves up for some topical issue taking up the [[Ripped from the Headlines|headlines]].

 

* [[All Abusers Are Male]]: Most definitely averted, most recently with Heston and Marina.

* [[Adorkable]]: Simon Bond.

* [[Honey Trap]]: An old friend of Julia's asked her to try to seduce her fiancé to prove he was loyal. Unfortunately, Julia got the wrong man.

* [[Insult to Rocks]]: An ex of Daniel's left a [[Moses in the Bulrushes|baby]] in the surgery. When he insisted it was nothing to do with him, Michelle called him a horrible stinking rat. Archie asked that they not insult rats.

* [[Reformed but Rejected]]: An example in the episode on 8 October 2010: a previously abusive mother managed to turn her relationship with her daughter around, but was still regarded with suspicion by her own mother, who eventually abducted the child on the strength of this.

* [[Romance on the Set]]: Has happened a number of times, most recently with Sean Gleeson and Stirling Gallacher.
