It looks like Valerie Pitman (played by Sarah Moyle) may be getting too personally involved with some ongoing patients on Doctors (3:15pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Valerie still feels guilty about giving Hailey Dodds (Caoimhe Farren) and her daughter, Grace (Lacey Leigh Payne), false hope about getting access to some medication for Grace's acute asthma.

Valerie lies to surgery receptionist Scarlett Kiernan (Kia Pegg) on her whereabouts, as she heads off on another SECRET visit to see Hailey and Grace.

But while Valerie is visiting, Grace has a very bad asthma attack and has to be rushed to hospital in an ambulance...

At the hospital, Hailey is desperately worried and becomes increasingly frustrated that the NHS will not prescribe the drug that could improve Grace's quality of life.

With Hailey and Grace's situation looking bleak, Valerie SNAPS with both Scarlett and Al Haskey (Ian Midlane).

WHY can't anything be done to help Hailey and Grace?
