Rida Amaan fights back

Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari) is struggling since being assaulted by Russell Whitelaw, and this week, feeling she has nowhere else to turn, the nurse plots to expose the senior surgeon!

Rida’s shift gets off to a disheartening start when she witnesses Whitelaw (Robert Bathurst) humiliate doctor Nicole Piper (Sammy T. Dobson) into performing a twirl for the surgical team.

Compassionate Rida reaches out to Nicole and asks for access to a secret social media group where the female staff warn colleagues about surgeons they need to be wary of.

Once added to the private platform, however, she makes a sickening discovery - what she’s experienced is a nationwide problem. Shocked, Rida takes the impulsive decision to make the list public!

As the list spreads like wildfire around the hospital, a furious Russell summons all the women on his team to his office. There, he reveals he has the full backing of the hospital trust and uses his powerful connections to ruthlessly manipulate them into silence.

Realising that more drastic action is needed, Rida hatches a risky plan to gain Russell’s trust and collect evidence against him…

“It comes from a place of seething anger and isn’t something you’d expect from her,” reveals Sarah Seggari in an exclusive interview with WTW. “It’s do or die for her at this point, but she’s not thinking rationally.”
