Airs Tuesday 7 November 2023 at 1:45pm on BBC1.
Life has taken an interesting turn for Sid Vere (played by Ashley Rice) lately on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
Sid's dad Tye has moved in after walking out on his long-time marriage to Estelle.
But during a night out at a Northern Soul club night, Tye hit it off with another clubber, Martine Toole (Laura Girling).
Sid was not amused when Tye wasted no time in inviting Martine back home to spend the night!
On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, it's all a bit awkward when Sid finds Martine has settled in and is busy cooking Tye and Sid's housemate, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee), breakfast!
After later discovering his dad has booked a romantic weekend away for him and Martine, Sid starts to worry about how quickly Tye's new romance is happening...
How will Tye react when Sid admits he's having a problem accepting what is going on?
Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) has decided to take a tough love approach with Al Haskey (Ian Midlane).
Let's face it, Zara can be VERY direct at times!
With the help of surgery receptionist, Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell), Zara manages to gain entrance to Al's house.
The grumpy medic has no intention of letting Zara stay for long.
However, will Al start to hear Zara out when she suggests he could start seeing a therapist to help him deal with the aftermath of the attack?
Zara gives Al the contact details for a therapist who comes recommended.
Will Zara manage to make a much needed breakthrough with Al?
Elsewhere in Letherbridge, Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) investigates when a woman grows suspicious of her new neighbour.
Who might possibly be a MURDERER?!
Doctors continues Monday to Thursday at 1:45pm on BBC One.
