Post Description

Katie Roden (Sarah Parish) is a GP who, at the beginning of series one, is a 'mistress' to John Grey, a terminally ill patient whom she later helps commit physician assisted suicide. After John's death, his son, Sam (Max Brown), discovers evidence of his father's affair. Distraught, he confides in Katie, unaware she was the woman who his father had an affair with. Katie then begins a reluctant romantic relationship with Sam as she struggles with the knowledge that she helped his father die. Ultimately, unable to lie any longer, Katie tells Sam, who informs his mother and the authorities resulting in Katie getting a year's suspension from work.

Series two begins with Katie taking a junior post in a hospital department working alongside an old flame from medical school, Jack Hudson (Steven Brand), who is now married to Megan (Natasha Little) but still holds a torch for Katie. Also at the hospital, Katie meets Jack and Megan's friend and fellow surgeon Dan Tate (Mark Umbers), with whom she strikes up a relationship. All goes well until Jack decides to act on his feelings for Katie and they embark on a brief affair. Katie ends the affair before she is discovered but Dan witnesses a final kiss between the pair and decides to move to Australia to take up a medical post he's been offered. Katie leaves a heartfelt note of apology for Dan, which he reads before deciding to take her with him to Australia.
