Zara Carmichael (played by Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) is loving having her old school friend, Davinia Hargrove (Clare Wille) in town on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

High flying fashion businesswoman Davinia has given Zara some advice about dealing with staff.

So on today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Zara decides to put Davinia's advice into practice at the Mill.

Zara reckons the surgery staff take advantage of her and partner, Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers).

So Zara decides to put her foot down!

She doesn't agree with Daniel letting nurse Luca McIntyre (Ross McLaren) have a day off.

Then she gets into a squabble with midwife, Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) after reprimanding Ruhma for not calling back one of her pregnant patients.

But maybe Zara shouldn't be so quick to take Davinia's advice.

At home, Davinia has a BIG favour to ask her.

Davinia needs to lie to her husband and pretend she is staying with Zara.

How will Zara react when Davinia reveals she needs a cover story because she is having an affair!
