I've been watching Doctors for years, except for the last year, because all my favourite characters seem to disappear. Doctors has had a a lot of male (as far as I know only male) gay characters. The first one was doctor Oliver -Ollie - Berg played by Laurence Penry-Jones (Ruperts brother). I don't know the beginning of his story because when I started watching in 2003 he was already there. All I remember is that he had a boyfriend but fell in love with one of the other doctors who wasn't gay. Then there was Dr Greg Robinson played by Ben Jones. Ollie at first thought he was straight and in love with Caroline, he immediately disliked him but eventually they got involved. Caroline, I think, died in an accident and Ollie just had a fight with her so he was very upset about that. ( I'm not sure what precisely happened, it was a long time ago. I think Ollie and Greg kept there relation hidden from her and she found out and I think she still had a crush on Greg and after the fight with Ollie she left to live somewhere else but got in a car accident on her way there) Ollie couldn't get passed this, he felt responsible and eventually left Greg behind. Greg stayed and fell in love with a patient, but after a couple of weeks he found a freckle on Tom's back which later turned out to be malignant cancer and he becomes deadly ill, after the summer break we find that Tom has died. Then, of course, Greg stays single for a long time. After another summer break we learn that Greg met Rico in Goa (India). Rico is a journalist (I think) and comes from Brazil. Greg thinks he will never meet Rico again but all of a sudden, weeks later, Rico turns up in the surgery and from there their relationship continues. They have a lot of different story lines, which I thought was nice. Rico Da Silva is played by a very cute Felix D'Alviella. (sorry for the small picture, check IMDB) Because Rico's work permit expires he has to leave Brittany. But Greg saves the day and asks Rico to marry him so he can stay, remember they've only known each other for a couple of months. This is the wedding episode. (the rest is on the posters channel) Eventually they get to know each other a bit better. Rico has been hiding something, a baby. Rico was surrogate father for a woman, and baby Charlie was born, He never told Greg but because the mother has to have surgery she comes to the UK and asks Rico to take care of the baby while she is in the hospital. So Greg and Rico become fathers for a couple of days. Rico totally falls in love with his son and Greg feels a bit left out, he never even thought about children. Eventually the mother leaves Brittany for Denmark and Rico is heartbroken. Greg and Rico start to fight more and more. Greg feels like Rico doesn't want to be with him and Rico feels like Greg doesn't care about the fact that he loves Charlie and wants to be in his live, but he did chose Greg over Charlie in the end. The fighting gets worse and they eventually split up, Rico leaves for Denmark and Greg is heartbroken. Then there's this episode. (check Youtube for the rest) This was Greg last episode. And now, after like 2 years, there is a new gay doctor. Doctors has always been very gay friendly, I think also with the minor 1 episode characters, but more male than female characters. I'm curious to see what will happen with Simon and Todd.

Here is another part of the Simon and Todd storyline. Not a lot going on, Simon's parents are getting a divorce and they are taking away most of Simon's time, thus neglecting Todd a bit. en.sevenload.com/videos/dE0gERR-Doctorsgool47

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

I love Simon's face when he first sees Todd. He's like hot man has made me speechless, it's cute.

I'm loving Simon and Todd but I just hope Todd isn't gone for good. It was so much about his parents divorce we barely got to see them together. That part makes me grrrr.
I have all of the full episodes but I don't know how to upload or anything. They have a lot of great scenes though.
I was hoping someone who does the British shows would clip them but so far no one on Youtube or Dailymotion has.
The AfterElton clips leave out a lot unfortunately.

Not a lot going on, mostly about Simon's parents divorce again, yet almost at the end, Todd tells Simon that he is leaving for the U.S. soon and offers him to go with him. Here's the link: en.sevenload.com/videos/idTnRvz-Doctorscolumnsept21P.S. - kradamantium2525, it would be great if you can upload the episodes since as you mentioned, the AfterElton clips seem to cut out a lot of scenes between Simon and Todd.

Unfortunately that storyline just ended with Will on May 14th. Simon is supposed to have another storyline coming up soon. I have mixed feelings about the storyline with Will. I really loved Will and Simon together, they had great chemistry and they were very sexy an sweet when allowed to be. But the lack of screen time and the abrupt resolution doesn't sit well with me. I'm hoping maybe Will will come back in later episodes. It could happen. I watched and saved all the Simon and Will related full episodes but I don't have a way to edit them or upload them (despite my best efforts). I think there are clips of all but two of the episodes that feature Simon and Will over on the "Gays of Our Lives" column on AfterElton.com. I gotta say, I still keep hoping "Todd" will make a reappearance. I feel like Simon's parent's marriage troubles (and Simon worrying about and taking care of his mom) totally messed up what could have been a really good thing between Todd and Simon. Also, Todd seemed willing to try the long-distance thing if Simon wanted too. I really liked Todd.

Truly bizarre gay fantasy episode today with Simon ... too bad it coincided with such a tragic storyline which may serve as his exit from the series.

It's so sad with what's going on with Simon. I hope when the show returns after the holiday will be good news.

Thanks for the info and I checked into that as well. No info about any characters leaving so a little sigh of relief but who knows? Soaps need dramas even killing off their main characters if they need to.

I think Dr. Daniel Granger should give Simon a mouth to mouth resuscitation instead of blowing through the water hose. That should be a cure, lol. He played a major role in Simon's pseudo James Bond persona fantasy sequence.

Oh well. Still waiting for the 4th.

While I like to see some romance happening to Simon, I would say it is a unusual plot to see a doctor-patient role reverse.
Anyway, I think Simon is one hot looking doctor.
