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

So, Halloween is nearly upon us. Which of the Halloween smileys suits the Doctors cast and it's viewers best (bear with me, this is tenuous):

Halloween Smile - Mandy (FOD), will make a pleasant witch (can we burn her at the stake?)
Halloween Grin - Karen (Gobby), she's got a mouth that big.
Haloween Sad - Howard (TBFE), tough times for him atm.
Halloween Wink - Heston, you sly old dog you.
Halloween Shock - everyone elses face on hearing about Hestons prowess.
Halloween Envy - Kevin, in awe of Heston, poor bloke.
Halloween Angry - Barry, on being turned down by his latest love interest.
Halloween Blush - Jimmi, on not realising it's Halloween andthentalkingtooquicklyandquietlytocoveruphisembarrasment
Halloween Confused and Halloween Hmm - us, the Doctors watchers. WTF?!
Halloween Biscuit - Mrs T. She doesn't do Halloween.

Maybe that's a step too far in the memory loss story then!

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 08/11/2013 14:18

Just watched on my phone, sat outside school in the car waiting for DS to get back. Surely a neurologist should be talking to the Gobbies, not just Zara.

cinnamongreyhound · 08/11/2013 14:26

You're asking a lot WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes Wink

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 08/11/2013 14:49

Jammi or Jizzi?

DS is back. So tired he could hardly walk from the coach to the car. Apparently had a great week. Just off to excavate the contents of his backpack.

cinnamongreyhound · 08/11/2013 18:09

Jazzi?

Just seen someone asking where someone else had read that Jas was pregnant in rl, did you seriously have to have read it somewhere? It was blimmin obvious today wasn't it?

GoldenGytha · 08/11/2013 19:54

I watch Doctors every day and I never noticed Jas was pregnant.

MsNobodyAgain · 08/11/2013 20:01

I didn't notice until someone on here mentioned it golden but it seems so obvious now.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 08/11/2013 20:07

People are asking her on her FB page if she's pregnant and she has said she is not going to confirm or deny. I can't believe she's not, the hiding tactics have become very obvious in the last week or so.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 08/11/2013 20:22

What? She is obviously almost ready to drop, so why would she not just say "yes"? Bizarre.

SacreBlue · 08/11/2013 20:55

Just watched today's - they definitely needed a bigger make up bag to cover the bump Grin

Thought with all the talk re fighter being top fit & making the club & 'taking over' that it was going to be a war film 'plucky piano player loses hands' moment but they went all sensible at the end stopping the fight

Daniel is the freckle king - every time I see him he has more v disconcerting when you adore freckles but think his character has been a git in the past

Pretty sorry that Gobby saw her reflection - does this mean no more wtf flashbacks! Sad I really want to see her & GobbyPlod's first meeting/romance

I quite like Jack in a 'too young to be my son but closer to that than fancying' type way - totally forgot about him & Zara!

Have forgotten Valerie? Can someone remind me - please :)

AnneEyhtMeyer · 08/11/2013 21:05

Valerie was a temp receptionist, who knew TBFE and 6tl from working at the PCT previously.

She was desperately lonely and wanted to be friends with everyone, but had foot-in-mouth disease and rubbed everyone up the wrong way.

I love her!

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:09

Right-catching up.

Oh, symbolic removing her wedding rings.

re- compassionate Zara- they are making her soft, between this and the whole unlikely Mrs T bonding over Austen thing.

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:11

I, on the other hand, detested Stalker Val. Grin She wasn't funny- just intensely irritating.

The martial arts thing is odd.

MsNobodyAgain · 08/11/2013 21:13

Sacre re Daniel...have you gone to HD viewing recently or changed your TV? Or are you sitting right in front of the screen like my kids? Grin

ClayDavis · 08/11/2013 21:14

Going in now.

They can't make Zara soft. She's much better being a bit of a bitch.

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:17

Anyone else find the 'other story' just annoying, and getting in the way of the Gobby story. I want more WTF flashbacksSad

MsNobodyAgain · 08/11/2013 21:17

Valerie, she was too WTF all the time. There was no balance. And is anyone really that thick skinned they don't realise everyone dislikes them?

OP posts:
Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:19
Grin

I know- i couldn't warm to her at all. I couldn't feel sorry for her, just annoyed. She'd better not be in it long.

Oh, poor Karen looking in the mirror.

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:20

Oh look- they've remembered Jimmi's cleaning fetish.

need to invite him round

JUST to cleanGrin

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:23

Jimmi definitely doesn't need another Princess Bubblegum.

But i don't think Jizzi is a good idea. Grin

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 08/11/2013 21:24

I thought Valerie was awful most of the time, but occasionally felt sorry for her, there was one episode where she got over emotionally involved with a female patient (long lost relative or something, can't quite remember, blonde woman) who wanted nothing more to do with her in the end.

Zara and Jack? WTF? Before my time. I prefer her in bitch mode too.

I didn't like the martial arts story today, but DH is diabetic so it is a sensitive subject.

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:24

He's stripping the bed? A bit presumptuous!

Jack! Never thought I'd be glad to see him again.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 08/11/2013 21:24

Jimmi would pass out if he saw the state of my house at the minute.

Zara being nice and sympathetic to Karen is totally in character - don't forget that when she was still very nervous about letting Daniel see Joe it was Karen she trusted as chaperone. She let Karen see her vulnerable side, so I think Karen actually means a lot to her (despite having her listed as Gobby on her phone).

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:27

aww, Fleet Foxes- White Winter hymnal. Love this song.

Raahh · 08/11/2013 21:28

Anne- you are probably right about Zara. I loved it when we saw the Gobby thing on the phone- brilliant.
