While Al's attackers, patient Frankie Sharp and her husband, Vic Butt, remain at large, Al is slowly on the mend after being discharged from St Phil's Hospital.

Al's friends and work colleagues all want to help him after the SHOCK attack.

But the grumpy GP is attempting to put on a brave face and pretend he is OK.

On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Al is not happy when a well-meaning Emma Reid (Dido Miles) sends physio therapist, Magda Nowak (returning guest star Maya Barcot), around to Al's house to help with his injured knee.

Magda previously helped Emma get back on her feet after she took a terrible tumble last year.
