Doctors - and there is still hope of Hestembe!

Hello all SDTPs! (Sad Doctors Thread Participators - go on, join in lovely lurkers!)

Thank heavens Heston stayed! Mrs Tembe will be wearing her "come hither" wig next week, no doubt!

I think I hate AwfulNurse more than I hate 6tl Shock

So, my hopes for the duration of the thread:

  • Lots of TBFE shower scenes
  • Hestembe love
  • 6tl to fall off a very high cliff
  • AwfulNurse to follow her
  • George & Ronnie to return from China
  • The rightful owner of Gobby's house to turn up

So settle down with a nice cup of Red Bush and leave your critical faculties at the door. We're going in!

I laughed at the snail joke, even though i knew what was coming.

I always wanted a pet snail. I wanted to call it S'neil.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:04

Oh piss off Ayesha, the inverted snobbery bit is boring.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:05

Aww, it's like Up. Sad

Vagndidit · 14/11/2014 14:06

Normally a lurker on this thread....watching and quietly tutting...

But is the actress that plays Ayesha for real??? i've never seen such bad acting. Ever.

Carry on....

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:06

Vagn- she is terrible isn't she?

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:08

Surely Ayesha didn't think Sierra would go home?

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:10

Er- no you can't. You've been in this job 5 minutes and have already spent more time at home than in. And you're always late. And Mrs T hates you. As do we.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:10

But she's in the same house! That's no bloody good, surely.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:13

I've just realised the blonde woman in the meeting used to be in Hollyoaks as well.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 14:14

And it's her 4th Doctors appearanceGrinGrin

AnneEyhtMeyer · 14/11/2014 14:29

Just caught up on yesterday's and today's.

I am sniggering at your garage comment, Raahh.

I cannot stand AwfulNurse. Nothing will make me warm to her. Unless they put her on a bonfire.

That would be a waste of a good bonfire, Anne Grin

toldmywrath · 14/11/2014 20:53

I just got the Sierra in a garage joke comment Raahh -very good. Is it time that we park these asides now? Grin
I see Tash is getting loads of mentions, can we please have her as the practice nurse & put Ayesha out of her misery?

cinnamongreyhound · 14/11/2014 21:00

Yes another ex hollyoakian, I loved her in hollyoaks one of the originals :)

Well Ayesha was lucky there! She's far too gobby for her own good!

Patient story started a bit odd but glad he went to be with his sister.

Just watching the the fall, looks like several hollyoaks actresses are in this too!

Raahh · 14/11/2014 21:09

I've jut caught up with the Fall too- there have been at least 4 ex- Hollyoaks cast in it! It's like Australian soaps in the early 80's- there was only half a dozen actors, so they were in everything. Seems that if an Irish actor is needed, it's one of the same fewGrin

We need to start a petition- Tash for Practice Nurse!

cinnamongreyhound · 14/11/2014 21:19

I didn't watch the first series at all.

cinnamongreyhound · 14/11/2014 21:34

Oh yeah one of the policemen is Brendan.

Raahh · 14/11/2014 21:51

And in the first series, the bloke who was Chris (or possibly Kriss) the cross dresser from Hollyoaks was in it. Malachy's brother- who is in Eastenders now (as Cameron?) Grin

colleysmill · 15/11/2014 19:30

I want to say Lucy from hollyoaks? I'm going back in time though and many years and pints have passed since then.

I'm surprised at ayesha - I'd have thought she'd have been less defence at the case conference knowing how important it was. It's a fairly intimidating situation even for professionals and usually a vote is taken from everyone present about a decision but heck it's tv not rl :)

Also dh is a keen home brewer and never ever have I seen him don a suit like Jimi did!!!

Raahh · 15/11/2014 19:41

She was Kurt's sister, I think. In it at the beginning.

OohOod · 16/11/2014 08:45

Jimmi is hygiene king when the writers remember

I was surprised how accurate the ICPC was , it wasn't spot on but wasn't bad for a tv representation. Ayesha would only have been left in charge if her Mum moved out.
The nursery should have reported already as a child in need and it's not down to Ayesha to register Cortina with a dr it's her Mums job.
They even referenced the HV not being there.
I'd be surprised if Ayesha hadn't had a lot of experience with social workers just due to working in a deprived area as a nurse.
Oh and YAY they said Children's social care rather than social services.

OohOod · 16/11/2014 08:46

Can't believe I've just wrote a post saying the writers were (fairly) accurate!

cinnamongreyhound · 16/11/2014 09:07

I would have expected her not know the social workers too.

She was Lucy, Kurts sister. He's in a kids program now and looks less buff than he did in his hollyoaks days :)

OohOod · 17/11/2014 19:36

Howard eating again!

cinnamongreyhound · 18/11/2014 14:09

MrsT has been great for this couple but really needs to leave now!!
