Nina Bulsara (played by Wendi Peters) takes centre stage on today's special FLASHBACK episode of Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Last week on the BBC daytime drama, Nina was reminded of her late husband, Rahul Bulsara (Ravi Aujla), while dealing with a depressed patient whose husband had also passed away.

Nina is working at the Campus Surgery when she meets Craig Henty (Mark Donald).

But Craig knows he has to be there for their two daughters.

Nina can sympathise with Craig, since Christmas is also a reminder for her of her late husband, Rahul...

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. 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!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
