Graham clearly liked what he saw during his tour of the surgery.

While Graham's recruitment will help solve a BIG problem for practice partner, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh).
Zara has been struggling to find a replacement for her ex, Daniel Granger, who QUIT The Mill last year.

Paige Popplewell (Genevieve Lewis) is already a fan after her heart-to-heart with Graham over her love troubles.
She tells Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) and Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) how great Graham is.
But the fellas want to decide for themselves.
WHAT will their verdict be after Graham invites Al and Jimmi out for lunch at The Icon?
Later, Graham wants to get down to business and discuss staffing matters with Zara.
Unfortunately, Paige overhears part of their conversation that she wasn't supposed to hear...

And then Abby has to break some SHOCK news about their mum...
Kyra doesn't react well and throws a brick through the window of the house!
Can Suni help Kyra deal with her complicated family dynamics?
