Doctors - will Sid's fundraising bear fruit?

[EversoDelighted]

Just noticed the old thread was nearly full.

Will Gobby get in trouble for being drunk at work?

I'm not keen on new miserable Val. We need happy Val back.

oh this is sad

You've been talking to yourself today Raahh. Just watched. Why's Sid so miserable? Did he fall out with his mum?

doctors I've been talking to myself a lot.

I think Sid was sad because his dad wasn't interested/too busy when he rang him about the fundraising /tv thing. And then - no-one else was very interested either.

We get Nick Owen on Midlands Today, I suppose that was a cheap/free option with the local news being filmed just up at the BBC in the city centre

I didn't recognise him at first.

Sid fell out with his mum at least a year ago after he found out that his parents had had his younger brother adopted once they realised he had Downs Syndrome- Sid didn't know that he even had this brother (who I think is called Lawrence, I cannot remember). His dad goes and visits his brother at his home but his mum has never seen him and Sid couldn't forgive his mum. He sees his brother sometimes but the brother just thinks he's a volunteer/friend. I like Sid and hope he gets some action with the police officer Rob fancies!
I didn't enjoy today's episode tbh - far too many covid references and we get enough of that in real life!!

I love Nick Owen. Remember his morning show with Anne Diamond?

Sid's getting on very well with Harriet. It would be lovely if they got together, I think ❤️

Ah thank you small I had half forgotten about his mum and brother.

Dear Lord, is that Leslie Ash?

Shocking acting.

Shocking acting even by Doctors standards, I mean.

Dearie me, it is! I knew I recognised her, but wtf re the face.

She was a passably-OK actress in the 90s. But she is really, really awful in this and that's saying something.

Poor Sid. He really is so lonely and never sees himself as worthy or interesting, it's such a shame. I hope Bear can talk to him a bit about what is going on there. Not liking Harriet and Rob flirting at all and I really am feeling sorry for Karen. I wonder if Emma will have a word with Rob or Harriet?

Leslie Ash was awful wasn’t she. I’m sure I read that she’s appearing in Casualty soon too.

I thought Leslie Ash was going to go in Holby City and so she was mentioned as one of the people who would be most upset by its cancellation after 23 series? I didn't think she was that bad but I see I am in the minority!!

I didn't recognise Leslie Ash ....

Apparently she was in Holby for a while (not something I watch so I wouldn’t know) and she’s appearing as the same character in an episode of Casualty (which I do watch).

Oooh anti Scottish racism in Letherbridge today!

...and Sid in drunk at work situation! I thought yesterday's binging was uncharacteristic

@doctorsnoddy

Oooh anti Scottish racism in Letherbridge today!

It happens a lot. I was regularly called a fucking Jock when working in the south east.

Not liking the "everyone from Glasgow is an impoverished junkie from a council estate" stereotypes though.

Raspberry I'm Scottish too, don't get any abuse at all, mind you I'm the north east (Of England)

Everything seemed exaggerated today. It's almost as if they need a sledgehammer to fit the story into 25 minutes instead of using some finesse. Ah well. In other news, I also lost my keys today - but found them in the sock drawer.
