Doctors

I agree, Louise. I think Doctors is very underrated. So Dr Dan from Holby is the new practice manager!

Yes! I wonder how that will pan out. I wanted Mrs Tembe to get it though.

I think that they are handling Val's cancer story extremely sensitively . That last scene where Ayesha is with her at the hospital for her first chemo and holding her in her arms had me in tears .

When does Doctors come back? Does anyone know please?
Thanks in advance

Former Emmerdale star Tom Lister is making a return to the soap world with a guest role on Doctors next week.

The actor, who was better known as bad boy Carl King in the Dales, will be playing an irresponsible dad in BBC One's daytime soap.

Lister's character Martin Laws is the father of a 12-year-old boy called Adam, but he hasn't been the best parent since his own mum was killed in a car crash.

Now caught up in a repetitive cycle of drinking and gambling, Martin is facing a possible fight for custody of Adam.

Adam's grandfather Eddie, played by former Waterloo Road actor Philip Martin Brown, wants to take care of him while Martin is on his downward spiral.

With tensions running high, Eddie goes to see Sid Vere at The Mill, admitting that he wants to put off an important heart operation because he needs to focus on looking after Adam.

Sid advises against delaying the op, but Eddie may feel that he has no other choice...

Lister played Emmerdale's Carl from 2004 to 2012, when he was killed off in the show's explosive live episode. He since concentrated mainly on theatre work.

Brown portrayed Waterloo Road favourite Grantly Budgen between 2006 and 2013.

Doctors airs the pair's episode on Tuesday, February 2 at 1.45pm on BBC One.

times and wasnt an Emmerdale "spoiler"!!

Yes, I think that's the way the story line seems to be going. However, as Antony isn't yet in the opening credits, I'm hoping that means he won't be around for long!

Doctors will be taking a three-month transmission break from next week.

The BBC show will go off air on Friday, June 10 and won't be back on screen until September.

Doctors usually takes a break over the summer period, but it will be longer this year due to the BBC's coverage of Euro 2016 and the Olympics.

The news was confirmed on Doctors' official Facebook page earlier today, leaving many viewers upset by the news.

The statement explained that filming would still commence during this time and fans can still get their Doctors fix through behind-the-scenes highlights that will be available.
