Princess Buchanan (played by Laura White) is still a prime suspect for MURDER as Doctors returns after its summer break.

On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings), Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) and DI Mick Hartley (Martin Walsh) continue their investigation into the murder of local GP, Jacob Ashdown.

Trainee doctor Princess, nurse Maeve Ludlow (Clelia Murphy), surgery receptionist Rosie Colton (Janice Connolly) and Jacob's widow, Steph (Pandora Clifford) are all suspects in the case.

But which one of them is responsible for Jacob's death?

Rob and DI Hartley revisit the scene of the crime in the woods.

Later, the coppers receive a phonecall from Constance Buchanan (Linda Hargreaves) who is prepared to give her daughter, Princess, an alibi!

Apparently, Princess was with her family around the time of the murder.

Does this mean that Princess could now be in the clear?

Just when the investigation appears to hit another dead end, Mick receives some NEW information involving one of the suspects...

But WHO?
