Doctors Zara Carmichael.

Can anyone remember back to when Zara first joined Doctors. She was briefly known by another name. Can anyone remember why she changed it?

[cupid04]

It was Alex Gray.

I'm not sure why she changed it, but I have a feeling it was something to do with her dad's shady dealings from way back when, which she found out about which led to them being not so close but when he was diagnosed as terminally ill, she then sought him out.
Could be very, very wrong.

Thanks Alba, I think you're right.
Do you still watch it? Don't think much of the new practice manager. Perhaps she'll grow on me. And Karen Hollins still has that whiny voice I know you loved so much ;-)

...and Valerie Pitman continues be extremly annoying and has now become a detective. New practice manager thinks it's a good idea for receptionists to weigh patients?

[cupid04]

Haven't seen Dr Al Haskey weighing any patients, lol!

...or try to get patients to stop smoking. I'm sure they all consume above the recommended alcohol levels too :-)

still watch it Cupes xx
Some story-lines are utter crass. Some are less so.

Karen and Valerie irk me quite a bit - as for the 2 of them leaving reception telling Becky she'd have to cover reception !! well, as if.

Sid Vere is annoying me a tad at the moment, and Jimmi is really grating.

Other than that, it's not a bad programme lol

I miss Heston and his snazzy bow ties and his posh tea.
The theme tune is rather catchy too...

Was the actress who plays the new practice manager in Hollyoaks a few years ago?

[MargoTester]

Yes she played Becca Dean. She was also in The Bill
