Al Haskey (played by Ian Midlane) is not looking forward to facing the music at a community meeting on today's episode of Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

As the negative publicity surrounding The Mill and vaccinations continues, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) warns Al not to ruffle any feathers at the meeting and make things worse.

Al still stands-by his decision to help Dawn Richeson (Katy Sobey) vaccinate her baby, Noah.

But Dawn's now estranged husband, Simon (Christopher Harper), is still furious that the GP went against his wishes and vaccinated Noah.

At the meeting, Al comes face-to-face with anti-vaxxers including Simon, Ceri Chapman (Jennifer Nicholas) and Ivan Woodhouse (James Duke).

Ivan claims the vaccines contain chips to control the masses.

It's not long before Al loses his cool and the debate gets heated...

However, are her problems about to be solved?

On her way home, Scarlett bumps into her dad, Brian (Simon Lowe), carrying shopping bags.

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters.

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
