List of Doctors characters introduced in 2003–2004
Doctors is a British medical soap opera which began broadcasting on BBC One on 26 March 2000. Set in the fictional West Midlands town of Letherbridge, the soap follows the lives of the staff and patients of the Riverside Health Centre and the Best Practice, two fictional NHS doctor's surgeries. The following is a list of characters that first appeared in Doctors in 2003 and 2004, by order of first appearance. All characters are introduced by the programme's executive producer, Mal Young. January 2003 saw the introduction of George Woodson (Stirling Gallacher) and her husband Ronnie (Seán Gleeson), as well as Julia Parsons (Diane Keen). In April 2003, Ben Jones joined the cast as Greg Robinson. He was followed by Akemnji Ndifornyen, who joined in February 2004 as Nathan Bailey, the estranged son of Ben Kwarme (Ariyon Bakare). Andrea Green then joined as receptionist Sarah Finch in May 2004. Tasha Verma (Shabana Bakhsh) began appearing in October 2004. Additionally, multiple other characters appeared throughout the two years.
Dr. George Woodson, portrayed by Stirling Gallacher, first appeared on 7 January 2003 and made her final appearance on 27 March 2009. Shortly after her introduction, the soap introduced her husband, lawyer Ronnie Woodson (Seán Gleeson). The same year as her casting on Doctors, Gallacher fell pregnant, but writers chose not to write her pregnancy into the soap as they felt that the Woodsons were not ready to have a child. Three years later, the couple have a daughter, Bracken (Jessica Gallagher). George gets post-natal depression and believes that Ronnie is a better parent, returning to work early. However, when Bracken falls ill, George rushes to be with her. Gallacher announced her decision to leave Doctors in 2009 to pursue other roles, with George leaving alongside her on-screen family.
Gallacher and Gleeson won the award for Best On-Screen Partnership at the 2007 British Soap Awards. The following year, their character's car crash and the following aftermath was nominated for Spectacular Scene of the Year, as well as Best Storyline. Gallacher also received a nomination for Best Actress.
Julia Parsons (also McGuire), portrayed by Diane Keen, first appeared on 13 January 2003 and made her initial final appearance on 18 May 2012. Keen reprised her role for three episodes in March 2020 as part of Doctors' 20th anniversary celebrations. Julia was introduced to Riverside Health Centre as a medical receptionist working alongside ex-husband Mac McGuire (Christopher Timothy). The pair reconcile their relationship and eventually get married, which Julia ends when she finds him kissing his ex-wife Kate McGuire (Maggie Cronin). She forces the pair to leave and takes over the surgery, now renamed the Mill Health Centre. Julia eventually leaves Letherbridge with Martin Millar (Miles Anderson).
For her portrayal of Julia, Keen was annually nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actress between the 2005 and 2010 British Soap Awards. She was nominated for Best Actress again in 2012. Julia's car crash was also nominated for the Spectacular Scene of the Year award at 2013 ceremony. Keen won in the Actress category at the 2008 RTS Midlands Awards. The character was also selected as one of the "top 100 British soap characters" by industry experts for a poll ran by What's on TV, with readers able to vote for their favourite character to discover "Who is Soap's greatest Legend?"
Ronnie Woodson, portrayed by Seán Gleeson, first appeared on 17 January 2003 and made his final appearance on 27 March 2009. Ronnie was introduced shortly after the soap had introduced his wife, George (Stirling Gallacher). An experienced solicitor, Ronnie is often seen working with his clients and is "the first person anyone turns to", but is as committed to his family as he is to his job. On his BBC Online profile, Ronnie was described as "very laid back and a little naïve". It noted that although he enjoys his job, he is always trying to get in on bigger cases by "keeping his ear to the ground" at local police stations since he sees himself as a big criminal lawyer.
Although Ronnie is initially against the idea of having children, he settles into fatherhood when George has their daughter, Bracken (Jessica Gallagher). In 2009, it was announced that Gleeson had made the decision to leave Doctors, as well as Gallacher. Their exits aired together, as well as that of their on-screen daughter's. Peter Lloyd, the series producer on Doctors, was saddened by the Woodson's exit since he was "sad to see such vivid characters go". After Ronnie is offered and accepts a job in Shanghai, he, George and Bracken move to China.
For his portrayal of Ronnie, Gleeson was nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actor in 2007, as well as the award for Sexiest Male. At the same ceremony, himself and Gallacher won the award for Best On-Screen Partnership. In 2008, he received another nomination for Best Actor.
