Doctors spoilers: Can Al Haskey stop a dodgy drug dealer?
Al attempts to help a student Holly, whose dodgy boyfriend David is pressuring her to help him find more students he can sell drugs to
Dr Al Haskey is not impressed when he meets a student, Holly Plummer, whose drug dealing boyfriend David 'Blane' Dorberry is putting pressure on her to help advertise his "services" around the university campus.
Blane wants Holly to attend a Drugs Support Meeting and hand out fake business cards which advertise a student helpline but are really connected to his drug dealing business. Holly fears for the welfare of her housemate Shawna Raitt who attends the meetings but is struggling to stay clean.
Al is determined to shutdown Blane. But can he get enough evidence to prove Blane is about to distribute drugs on campus?

But midwife Ruhma Carter is still feeling cross over the way the couple have been left in debt because of their desire to have a baby. Will she still try and find a way to help them?
And there's a nightmare for Zara Carmichael and husband Daniel Granger when their young son Joe and Daniel's daughter Izzie suddenly go missing...
