Everyone is impressed by the way trainee doctor, Princess Buchanan (played by Laura White) has settled into life at The Mill on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

But little do they know that Princess has a cunning and manipulative side, and has been slowly playing the staff for fools!

And on today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, it looks like she's got another victim in her sights...

Surgery receptionist, Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) reminds Princess about some information that work colleague, Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) needs from her.

Princess claims she doesn't have time to get the information together as she is already inthe middle of preparing a presentation.

Valerie thinks Princess is struggling with her workload, so she offers to go out and get her some lunch.

But cheeky Princess asks if Valerie will also collect her presentation outfit from the dry cleaners!

Princess struggles to juggle everything.

When Sid questions why she hasn't finished her assignment work, she guilts him into helping her with the presentation!

Will anyone start to realise that Princess is not such a perfect employee after all?
