Emma Reid (played by Dido Miles) is not impressed after her latest confrontation with DS Matt Cassidy (Terry Mynott) on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Emma has to work with Cassidy while she is on shift as Forensic Medical Examiner at Letherbridge Police Station.

But the GP certainly doesn't approve of Cassidy's methods of Police work.

On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, Cassidy tries to justify what he has done, in an attempt to get accused rapist, Nicholas Thorne, convicted.

However, Cassidy's plea for understanding is not enough to convince Emma to drop the OFFICIAL complaint she has made against him...

Meanwhile, Valerie fears time is running out before she is rumbled and throws herself into the preparations for the surgery Christmas party as a distraction.

Everyone is impressed by Valerie's party planning efforts.

But secretly, Valerie is afraid this could be her final Christmas celebration at The Mill...
