PC Gareth Lewis (played by Samuel Morgan-Davies) is ready to QUIT his job at Letherbridge Police Station on Doctors! (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

On the first episode of a DOUBLE-BILL of the BBC daytime drama, Gareth questions whether he's cut-out for the life of a policeman.

The young PC only started working at the Police Station last month.

But Gareth has already experienced some SHOCK crimes in the line of duty, which have left him shaken.

When Gareth arrives for his shift, he sees a flyer advertising Personal Trainer jobs.

He dials the number on the flyer and asks about applying...

Sergeant Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) is taken aback when Gareth later hands in a resignation letter!

Rob wonders what's going on with Gareth, and why he would want to quit so soon after going through all his police training.

Rob asks trained counsellor, Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan), to check-in on Gareth.

But will Gareth open up to Jimmi about his struggles on the job?

Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) returns to visit Hailey Dodds (Caoimhe Farren) and her daughter, Grace (Lacey Leigh Payne).

Valerie and surgery receptionist, Scarlett Kiernan (Kia Pegg), met the family last week.

Grace suffers with acute asthma and mum, Hailey, feels frustrated that the NHS are unable to prescribe a medication that could improve Grace's quality of life.

Hailey has a heart-to-heart with Valerie and reveals how hard it has been to keep Grace away from her school and friends.

They've been let down over treatmens and Hailey is feeling useless that she can't do anything to help her daughter.

Is there anything Valerie can do without giving Hailey and Grace false hope?
