Daniel Granger (played by Matthew Chambers) and his partner, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) have an unexpected house guest in the shape of Daniel's teenage daughter, Izzie Torres (Bethan Moore) on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

But this time Izzie isn't just visiting for a few days, she wants to move to Letherbridge and live with Daniel PERMANENTLY!

Although Zara and Izzie have a closer relationship these days, she's not at all sure she wants to have to put up with teenage tantrums every day of the week!

Zara confides in Emma Reid (Dido Miles) that she is dreading the thought of Izzie staying.

Her presence is already causing friction in the household.

But Daniel is annoyed when Zara suggests Izzie packs her bags and return to Nottingham.

However, when Daniel is unable to contact Izzie's mum, Lisa, it looks like Izzie may be sticking around for a while longer...

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.

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.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
