There's tension at the Mill when Zara is assigned to monitor midwife Ruhma on Doctors. Will Zara's criticism push Ruhma to SNAP!

Ruhma Carter (played by Bharti Patel) finally returned to work at the surgery a few weeks ago on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).

But so far, the midwife's every move has been monitored by no-nonsense supervisor, Doreen Winters.

However, on today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, it looks like there might be a lucky break for Ruhma when Doreen calls in sick.

But no such luck.

Instead, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) sits in on Ruhma's apointments so she can check Ruhma is doing everything by the book following her recent suspension from the job.

As Zara starts to criticise some of Ruhma's conduct with patients, will a fed-up Ruhma soon be wishing she was back under the watchful eyes of Doreen instead?
