Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - WTF is going on now?

982 replies

MsNobodyAgain · 23/02/2013 17:08

For any fans of the weekday soap Doctors (1.45pm, BBC1), the thread title is often what we ask ourselves.

Sometimes it's a WTF episode Confused, sometimes it's BAH (boring as hell). Occasionally we have a FTC (failure to care) moment.

But sometimes rarely there is a diamond in the rough that makes us Grin

So please join in if you would like to. All welcome. Mrs T is just making a pot of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrred Bush tea.

I've decided Gordon reminds me of the Hooded claw in Penelope Pitstop-he has that look -vicar by day, stalking the underbelly of Letherbridge (the rough bit behind the Campus) by night.

Horsemad · 10/03/2013 20:19

Ha ha, Raahh, he does a bit Grin

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 10/03/2013 21:01

Gobbyplod was the murderer, not Gordon Anne, I'm sure Mrs T will be safe. I don't remember him from Red Riding, but he does seem to pop up quite often in things.

MsNobodyAgain · 10/03/2013 21:23

I am keeping out of this discussion. I can't remember what I watched yesterday, never mind years ago.

Doctors is the only soap I watch these days but I used to watch emmer sale when I lived with my parents, and loved Howard in that and casualty too. Can't help but like him even though he's a bit of an idiot. Don't think I've seen Gordon anywhere before. Gobbyplod was good on celebrity masterchef Grin

Horsemad · 10/03/2013 21:52

TBFE was hot in Emmerdale, he hasn't aged well though Sad

MsNobodyAgain · 10/03/2013 22:02

He was gutted when he got knocked out though cinnamon. He showed his dark side. New Masterchef starts next week. Not celeb one though.

TBFE was fit in his younger days. Hubba hubba!

cinnamongreyhound · 10/03/2013 22:20

He still does it for me but he's a bit of buffoon! Kind of Heston material :)

Sparklingbrook · 10/03/2013 22:31

Every time TBFE appears it is like Carry on Howard.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 10/03/2013 22:53

Oh that's a relief Who! Clearly I have no hope of following the WTFness of Doctors when I can't even follow this thread!

This is Gordon's 5th character in Doctors. Next time he gets to stay and have an affair with the practice manager. Wink

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 10/03/2013 23:19

Now that really would be WTF!

Horse - couldn't agree more re TBFE, was much better in Emmerdale. Didn't he end up with Kim Tate? She was a brilliant character. Haven't wqtched it for about 10 years (since it became The Dingle Show).

Don't think I will have time for Masterchef, just too many episodes, can't keep up and I don't like Gregg. The only one I watch now is the professionals because I love Michel and Monica.

Horsemad · 10/03/2013 23:27

I think he did Who - never got into Emmerdale really.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 11/03/2013 11:09

Time to vote in the British Soap Awards!

link

I decided to limit my choices to Doctors!

I voted:

Sexiest female: Zara
Sexiest Male: TBFE
Villain of the Year: Princess Bubblegum
Best Actor: Heston
Best Actress: Mrs T
Best Soap: Doctors

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/03/2013 11:21

Just back form the Soap Awards link, thank you Anne. Unfortunately my mouse kept slipping onto Corrie characters, although I nearly spilt my tea when I saw Dev from Corrie nominated for best actor.

Sexiest female: Eva (Corrie) - best of a bad bunch
Sexiest Male: Rob (Corrie)
Villain of the Year: Kirsty (Corrie) - no competition. Surprise entry for Andrei of Doctors.
Best Actor: Tyrone (Corrie)
Best Actress: Mrs Tembe
Best Soap: Corrie (sorry).

MsNobodyAgain · 11/03/2013 11:44

Thank you Anne. I had to confine my votes to Doctors as it is the only soap I watch.

I voted:

Sexiest female: Zara (just couldn't bring myself to vote for Jizz)
Sexiest Male: Daniel (I bet he's FILTHY in bed)
Villain of the Year: Princess Bubblegum (of course)
Best Actor: Gobbyplod (as much as I love Heston, he is a bit one-dimensional)
Best Actress: Mrs T (who else could it be?)
Best Soap: Doctors

If any of these make the shortlist I will be truly amazed but you never know.

But Who a Corrie vote is a wasted vote at this stage! Their people will always get through to the final list, but the Doctors guys always get overlooked.

I am very disappointed in you!!

Oodsigma · 11/03/2013 12:58

Thanks everyone! We came home Saturday, I'm now walking (very) short distances crutch free but am covered in allergic reactions to various stuff and have a haematoma which apparently sounds worse than it is although it bloody hurts!

Catching up on Fridsys, skipped Thursdays. Love the gobby hollins comment from Al, he is really growing on me.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/03/2013 13:06

Yes but if everyone said that no one would vote for Corrie.........

I have to vote tactically because Corrie has the best chance of beating EE, which I detest.

I'll get my coat.

Actually, I will, got to go out in a minute and there is a blizzard going on. I am in the South, this shouldn't be happening at this time of year

I have other email addresses, I will vote for Doctors with them, promise.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/03/2013 13:08

Glad you are home safely Ood, hope the allergies subside soon. I came home covered in rashes after having DD as the Doctors had ignore my plaster allergy and stuck my epidural canula in with enormous bits of plaster.

MsNobodyAgain · 11/03/2013 13:29

Who you have redeemed yourself. Smile

Ood welcome home. I am so not going to Google what a haematoma is..

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/03/2013 13:44

Sexiest female: Zara

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/03/2013 13:45

Sparklingbrook · 11/03/2013 13:46
