Former Coronation Street and The Royal actor Paul Fox is to make a guest appearance in Doctors.
Fox – who played Mike Baldwin's son Mark Redman in the Weatherfield soap and Dr. Jeff Goodwin in The Royal – takes on the role of sinister Cal Robinson, a 29-year-old charmer who preys on young and vulnerable girls, seducing them and manipulating them into prostitution.
Cal's latest conquest, Brittany (Amanda Fairbanks-Hynes), doesn't realise what she has let herself in for and it's up to Dr Nick West (Michael McKell) to help her before it's too late.
Senior Producer Mike Hobson said: "We are really delighted to have Paul on board with us at Doctors. He's a fantastic actor and it'll be particularly great to see him in a much darker role than the audience are used to seeing him in. It's sure to be an episode not to be missed."
Fox's seven-day filming stint with the BBC daytime medical drama begins today, while his screen appearance in the episode entitled 'Groomed For The Game' is due to transmit on Tuesday, February 26.
