Ruhma Carter (played by Bharti Patel) continues her adventures back on the dating scene on today's episode of Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Things haven't got off to a very good start for midwife Ruhma.

Her first date was a no-show.

And then last week on the BBC daytime drama, Ruhma met the rather nervous Suhaan Begum (Amerjit Deu), who arrived late for the date and then started getting emotional about his wife leaving him!

Despite the date turning into a disaster, and Ruhma desperate to make an escape, she decides to give Suhaan another chance.

Ruhma downloads to Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) that she is actually dreading their second date.

WHAT will happen this time?

As the evening gets underway, the signs are not looking good as Suhaan makes a fuss about the food.

And then they are unexpectedly joined by an overfriendly waiter, Stephan Doody (Christopher Parkinson)!

Will Ruhma want to make another great escape?

Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers) has been struggling with his role as a full-time dad to daughter, Izzie (Bethan Moore), since the teenager unexpectedly returned to Letherbridge recently.

The family tension has sort of been eased, after a day out at the golf course.

But another battle is brewing between Daniel and Izzie, when she wants to spend the night at a friend's house.

Daniel's partner, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) suggests he pick his battles with Izzie and let her go to her friend's house.

However, alarm bells start ringing for Daniel when Izzie's friend's older brother comes to pick-up her up.

Will Daniel still agree to let Izzie sleepover?

WHAT is going on?
