Doctors spoilers: Nina Bulsara is ready to FIGHT!
Airs Monday 8 January 2024 at 1:45pm on BBC1.
Nina Bulsara (played by Wendi Peters) is on a crusade for justice after a terrible ordeal at St Phil's Hospital on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
Nina was left in agony during a hysteroscopy procedure.
And the attending doctor's dismissive attitude did not help matters.
On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) catches-up with Nina in the aftermath of her ordeal.
Zara reports the unfortunate fact that many women have had similar experiences during gynae procedures.
But Nina is not about to accept the stats and facts.
The female surgery staff are surprised when Nina summons them all for lunch.
Is someone about to get reprimanded for something they've done wrong?
But instead, Nina reveals what happened to her at St Phil's and encourages the women to share their own experiences.
Fired-up by what she has heard, Nina announces she is going into battle against the folks running the gynaecological services at St Phil's...
Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) is looking forward to a nice solo fishing trip.
However, the Letherbridge copper is dismayed when Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) invites himself along!

But the fishing trip takes an unexpected turn and Rob starts to enjoy having some company after all.
During a heart-to-heart with Sid, Rob makes a revelation about the future.
WHAT is it?
