(This is a thread for all fans of the weekday soap Doctors, BBC1, 1.45pm)

Now, we're in a bit of a dull spell. We need it bringing back to life. Charge the paddles, call 'clear' and mentally zap this soap back to life.

Hang in there people. It will get better I may be lying Grin

I would hate to lose the Gobbyplods- but it is true, it's all getting dullSad

they need a proper storyline- that doesn't involve a) secondment to CID b) kidnapping c) line-dancing.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 22/03/2013 21:57

Sparkling sadly I think you may be right about the Rev. He's obviously not a long-term love interest because he's not on the credits (unless they do a Barry with him, and have him appear occasionally).

I think the Gobbyplods might end up with a relative's teenager staying with them. Won't her niece be starting at Letherbridge Uni in the Autumn?

If they get rid of the Gobbies they will have to put another police character in, if only to make use of the station set! Maybe they'll bring back Ronnie & George and he can start up his solicitor-specialising-in-everything-from-conveyancing-to-murder-whilst-doing-all-the-childcare practice again.

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 21:59

They can't move again or have another disastrous party, could follow them on a weekend away if it was in a letherbridge hotel! They have had some terrible luck with criminals!

Sparklingbrook · 22/03/2013 22:00

Immie and Jack never seem to come back from wherever they are do they? The inherited house storyline still niggles me too.......

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 22:01

Why?

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 22:02

Thank goodness they don't come back, couldn't stand either of them!

toldmywrath · 22/03/2013 22:02

Ood yes-up the Oxo tower on a Friday night!
MsNo-not so bad with children slurping-but an old geezer in his 40's/50's should know better Grin

Sparklingbrook · 22/03/2013 22:03

Because the gobbyplods inherited that house for no apparent reason cinnamon. We all thought that someone would challenge the inheritence and it would all be a big mistake but nothing happened. Confused

toldmywrath · 22/03/2013 22:04

Me too Sparkling the Gobbies will be rolling in cash & why don't their children come back for uni holidays(my lovely ds2 is coming home for Easter tomorrow-his uni is over 200miles from us)

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 22:05

My first boss was the worst eater ever!! Used to dread him coming in and eating while I was there. Dh is very harsh with our eldest (5), think he should come and listen to some of the 8 and 9 year olds I cm eating!

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 22/03/2013 22:05

The Rev is listed under recurring cast rather than regular cast on Wiki, along with Barry, Collier etc. Al is listed as regular.

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 22:24

I just thought they had got a break for a change, maybe I watch too much heir hunters. They have loads of stuff they find some random distant relative to give it to.

cinnamongreyhound · 22/03/2013 22:25

I agree its odd immy and jack don't come back, don't know any students who don't spend 15-20 weeks of the year at home!

MsNobodyAgain · 22/03/2013 23:11

Major coincidence tonight. I subscribed to Netflix and began to watch 'Day of the Triffids' Blush and the Rev is in it playing a doctor.

Now I've embarrassed myself admitting crappy online viewing, I shall retire back to my paused film. Just had to share.

MsN nothing is a confession of crap tv watching like watching Doctors...

MsNobodyAgain · 23/03/2013 07:17

Thank you ood. I thought I may be cast out of MN.

The time of your post reminds me of having a newborn. Hope you got some rest.

Snowing again here, coming down thick and fast, we're in Hampshire and have escaped the worst of the weather so far this week.

MsN - MN is precisely the place for crap TV confessions so your RL friends don't have to find out.

MsNobodyAgain · 23/03/2013 08:38

What RL friends? Wink

Weather not too bad here. A covering of snow but it is so cold we won't be leaving the house today. Brrrrrr!

Spoilers for the week after next hold out hope for a bit of humour returning.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

they can't get rid of the GobbyPlod Shock
'Tis the only reason I watch this blardy programme.

(Admits to checking the programme blurb and only watching if TheOnlyCopInTheVillage is featured) Blush Blush Blush

AnneEyhtMeyer · 23/03/2013 11:35

Loads more snow here today (Derbyshire). DH & DD are out in the back garden playing in it while I'm curled up on the sofa with the fire on feeling sorry for myself with my hacking cough and sneezes.

Just off to read the spoilers in the hope they'll cheer me up.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 23/03/2013 11:44

Oh dear. Highlight looks to be a toilet roll thief.

My money's on that shifty nurse with the blonde ponytail we always see in the background but who never talks to anyone or attends any staff functions.

Oodsigma · 23/03/2013 11:55

She might get a part if they get rid of Chris?

There's got to be another receptionist hidden somewhere with 2 practices and Karen being a HCA and Mrs T/Karen having days off

Raahh · 23/03/2013 14:00

I'd forgotten it was Easter next weekend.

No Doctors on the Friday or MondayShock
It's my wedding anniversary Easter Sunday- and dh is working the whole weekend- on nightsSad

The spoilers are bizarre.

cinnamongreyhound · 23/03/2013 14:37

I prefer it not to be on when dh is home or I just get interrupted! Neither of us work bh so I should think we'll do something

Giraffeski · 23/03/2013 20:13

I like the Rev. Not that creepy- I think it's a nice storyline and I love Mrs Tembe anyway as most of you know.
I do find his tenuous connection with the Gobbyplods odd though, and how the hell did he get the job with Gobbyplod's standing in for him in interview?
