Doctors spoilers: Danger in store for midwife Ruhma Carter?

Doctors, Ruhma Carter

Ruhma has begun to worry about her hearing and has secretly been researching hearing tests. But this week her problems get worse...

Ruhma Carter has become increasingly worried about her hearing since she started finding it tricky keeping up with the conversations around her.

And things aren't much better this week, when the surgery midwife trips and falls in the car park, leading to fellow medic Jimmi Clay calling Ruhma "clumsy". But is there something more serious going on for Ruhma?

Meanwhile, surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman refuses to accept the end of British summertime and the clocks going back one hour. So she carries on operating on British summertime, which soon leads to chaos at The Mill!

Doctors, Karen Hollins, Pauline Speight, Ruth Bletchley

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!"
