Doctors spoilers: Will Sid Vere snoop through CONFIDENTIAL medical records?
Sid is desperate for answers about his long-lost brother Laurence. But will he resort to unethical behaviour to find out more?
Desperate for answers about his long-lost brother, Laurence, mixed-up medic Sid Vere considers snooping through his parents' confidential medical records in search of information about the child they abandoned at birth.

Meanwhile, Dr Emma Reid and nurse Ayesha Lee team-up to check on an anxious patient, Mrs Geraldine Woods (played by ex-EastEnders star Louise 'Rosa di Marco' Jameson).
However, things take a terrible turn when the medics get distracted and realise they forgot to check the medication doses Geraldine has been taking.
By the time they get back to her house, Geraldine is slumped unconscious on the sofa...
