Dr. Stephens

Dr. Stephens was a doctor who Juliet Nightingale met with regarding her chemotherapy results in January 2023. He delivered the devastating news that her lymphoma hadn't been responding as expected as it was a rare form of the condition, suggesting a more aggressive form of treatment. Juliet was given optimism as Dr. Stephen thought she could handle the treatment due to her youth and otherwise healthy condition, but warned the treatment had more weekly sessions and side effects, and realised that this course was the last thing the doctors could offer her.
In May 2023, Juliet was admitted to Dee Valley Hospital with norovirus. Blaming herself, girlfriend Peri Lomax decided to tender her resignation to Dr. Stephens. The young nurse received a shock when Dr. Stephens refused to accept her resignation and so caused a scene by trashing her surroundings in the hospital. The next day, Peri was sacked from the hospital. Dr. Stephens then had to break the news to Peri that there had been further complaints about her behaviour which had been escalated to the board, and as a result she was banned from the hospital, although she was quickly let back in when Nadira Valli sweet-talked the doctor round. Later that month, Dr. Stephens told Juliet that her cancer had spread and there was nothing more that could be done for her.
