In Emmerdale Chelsea Halfpenny shocked viewers as troubled Amy Wyatt, but she creates an altogether different impression on her first day as a trainee doctor in Holby City this week!

Alicia Monroe is a bit lost when she first arrives in the busy ED, so clinical lead Connie Beauchamp pairs her up with newly qualified Speciality Registrar Lily Chao...

After Alicia realises something isn’t quite right with heavily pregnant Esther, she garners praise from both Jacob and Connie. Something that puts coldly ambitious Lily’s nose out of joint!

As inexperienced Alicia heads out with the other staff for a few after work drinks, Lily is left deeply jealous of the popular new junior medic.

Also this week, Honey screws up her courage to break up with meek doctor Ethan. She also hands in her notice and leaves the hospital to study in aromatherapy and holistic healing.

Jacob crashes and burns when he asks Connie out for dinner.

And Dylan returns to work determined to get along with caring but clumsy nurse Lofty. It’s tricky at first, but they eventually bond over the treatment of terminally ill patient Sheila, played by New Trick’s Susan Jameson.
