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

Now I am hoping that:

  • Heston doesn't get together with that reptilian frozen faced tart. Instead he looks at Mrs T over a cup of Red Bush and is smitten.
  • The stalker storyline has a twist and perhaps Al comes to Jizzs' rescue. A knight in a bloody big suit of armour. She'd need a tin opener to get him out.
  • The usual people are killed off (6tl, FOD, Chris, Jimmi). We can still hope, never happens though Sad
  • We get to see TBFE in his fishing gear again. But there's a storm and he is lashed by wind and rain. Phwaaaaaor!

So regulars, please share your hopes. Any newbies/lurkers out there (there MUST be some, surely?), please join in the banter. It's a programme that is so bad, it's good.

Huzzah to more WTF storylines. Grin

I said it was FOD ages ago, Cinnamon. I therefore expect it isn't! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 19/08/2013 14:15

No OFAH today?

cinnamongreyhound · 19/08/2013 14:16

Oooo Warren from Hollyoaks is in tomorrows :)

cinnamongreyhound · 19/08/2013 14:18

Grin AnneEyhtMeyer! I think it will be someone incidental but perhaps its a way to get rid of a cast member who wants to leave?

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 14:20

I am watching now.

Love Cynthia the neighbour! Used to squalor! I always keep some in for builders! She has fabulous lines.

MsNobodyAgain · 19/08/2013 14:25

The thread will never die as I would just keep posting on it by myself Grin

Missed it live today though. Blooming school holidays need to end quick as they mess with my viewing.

Just at the town centre. Only Sainsburys and M&S to go. Yes, I AM sad enough to be posting this from a car park.

You wouldn't be alone, MsN. We are all as bad as each other. I even checked it when I was in America. Blush

curlyclaz13 · 19/08/2013 15:49

just watched as we braved our first baby group today, I think doctors is more interesting !
I still think tbfe might be the stalker.

toldmywrath · 19/08/2013 16:23

I've just watched-& I wondered if it was FOD as well (only just occurred to me)

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 19/08/2013 16:27

I'm not giving up on this thread either, even if I have only watched 10 mins of Doctors since the Wimbledon break. I'll start again in term time. I'm sure I will pick it up again very easily.

Wishfulmakeupping · 19/08/2013 16:33

I did in and out if doctors but am very much 'in' at the mo- who is FOD?
Think its the doctor who's away with his friend who is the stalker not sure of his name

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 17:40

Wishful - FOD is Forehead of Doom - the nurse, whose real name escapes me. Blush

Do you mean Kevin?

MsNobodyAgain · 19/08/2013 17:48

Welcome wishful Smile

Anne, FOD is Mandy!

OP posts:
MsNobodyAgain · 19/08/2013 17:56

Also we only use a few acronyms now and again because we get bored! It is Doctors after all Grin

6tl is Emma 'sixth time lucky', as the actress that plays her had bit parts in Doctors 5 times before she joined as Emma.

Howard is TBFE 'the bloke from Emmerdale'

Jas is 'Jizz' as she had a job on a sex chatline Blush

OP posts:
AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 17:58

Oh yes! Mandy! Thank you MsN! Blush I never think of her as anything other than FOD!

Wishfulmakeupping · 19/08/2013 19:06

Yes Kevin that's it. Also could it be chris? He seems 'too' nice. She will end up with Al now won't she.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 19:54

It would be great if it were Chris because then he could go to prison and we would never have to see him again. 6tl would have to leave because of the shame.

Sadly he is too dull to be a stalker.

Raahh · 19/08/2013 19:59

I need to catch up on today.

The stalker will end up being someone totally random, I expect. Some patient she upset,or one of the two sex-line clients she hadGrin.

But, part of me still thinks the webcam is inthe orchid Al bought her when she moved inGrin

Raahh · 19/08/2013 20:00

Anne- Jizz is too dull to have a stalker Grin

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 20:06

That is true, Raahh. Grin

Realism was never a strong point for Doctors.

ClayDavis · 19/08/2013 20:10

There may have been some realism at some point. Years ago. They gave up on it quickly though. Am just catching up now. Bored of this restaurant critic thing now.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 19/08/2013 20:19

It used to be good, before I got sucked in properly last year I watched it occasionally and the patient based storylines seemed really good, I never watched long enough to realise how far fetched the surgery set up is. Rather to my embarrassment I told my MIL it was really good about the time I started watching last year. I was only going to watch for the 6 weeks I was off work sick, you lot seem to have made me keep with it Grin.

ClayDavis · 19/08/2013 20:56

The surgery set up is not far-fetched at all. I do actually need to see my GP. All I need to do is just walk in right? Then they'll see me straight away and I'll get at least one home visit as a follow up.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/08/2013 21:04

That's right. They will also know your name as soon as you walk through the door into reception and will also know your full medical history and that of your extended family.

ClayDavis · 19/08/2013 21:34

I've already reached the stage where they know my name when I walk through the door and recognise my voice on the phone. I do think they could have done a home visit when I didn't turn up for an appointment though. I'm only round the corner. Wink
