# Doctors series 7

The seventh series of the British medical soap opera Doctors originally aired between 18 April 2005 and 13 April 2006. It consisted of 185 episodes. Set in the fictional West Midlands town of Letherbridge, the soap follows the lives of the staff and patients of the Mill Health Centre, a fictional NHS doctor's surgery. This was the first series of Doctors to have Will Trotter as executive producer, following the resignation of original executive producer Mal Young at the end of the previous series.
The series saw a fluctuation in cast, with exits including Ariyon Bakare, Akemnji Ndifornyen, Andrea Green, Tom Butcher and original cast member Corrinne Wicks. Adrian Lewis Morgan was cast as doctor Jimmi Clay, and having appeared continuously until the final episode of the series, he became Doctors' longest-serving cast member. Jaye Griffiths and Michael McKell also debuted in the series. The series finale featured the first same-sex wedding on British television when characters Greg Robinson (Ben Jones) and Rico Da Silva (Felix D'Alviella) get married.

## Cast

The seventh series saw numerous regular cast members depart from their roles. The first two were Ariyon Bakare and Akemnji Ndifornyen, with respective father and son Ben Kwarme and Nathan Bailey leaving together in the June 2005 episode "Iron Man". Tara Coleman-Starr made her final appearance as Claire Thompson, which was followed by the departure of Claire's mother, Helen (Corrinne Wicks). Wicks, who was an original cast member on Doctors, had decided to depart the series after five years. Wicks' husband, Tom Butcher, who portrayed Marc Eliot, reprised his role to tie-in with her departure. The pair's final episode was an hour-long special and sees the characters leave together. Andrea Green left her role as Sarah Finch in the final episode of the series. Her departure sees Sarah leave to work in Brazil.
The seventh series was the debut of doctor Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan), who made his first appearance on 5 September 2005 and appeared continuously until the end of Doctors. Producers introduced the character's wife, Amanda (Emma Samms), shortly after his arrival. Jaye Griffiths was then cast as doctor Elizabeth Croft. She began appearing in January 2006 and left at the conclusion of the series. Michael McKell also appeared as Nick West, a love interest of Elizabeth. He was introduced as a doctor with an emotionally troubled backstory: this included misdiagnosing a patient who then died and being suspended by the General Medical Council and forced to retrain as a doctor, as well as his ex-wife having miscarried their baby. Felix D'Alviella debuted as recurring character Rico Da Silva; he is involved in the first same-sex wedding on British television when Rico marries established character Greg Robinson (Ben Jones).
Bracken Woodson (Jessica Gallagher) is born to parents George (Stirling Gallacher) and Ronnie (Seán Gleeson) in this series. Robert Cavanah also recurred as doctor Peter Kendrick, a depressed doctor who commits suicide, as well as Lloyd McGuire guest starring as Barry Finch, Sarah's father, and Sheila Ruskin joining as Marcia Holland, an old friend of Julia McGuire's (Diane Keen). The series also saw a storyline revolving around the Mantis, a mysterious woman who drugs and robs men, which involved Ben Nealon appearing as D.I. Baxter and Jo-Anne Stockham portraying Karen Lyle, the criminal.
