Georgia May Foote makes Doctors return

Georgia May Foote made her \'Doctors\' return on Thursday (26.03.20).

The BBC medical soap celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special episode - which aired from 1.45pm on BBC One - and the former \'Coronation Street\' star was part of the cast alongside \'EastEnders\' alum Annette Badland.

Georgia stars as Gracie Bradshaw, a patient who gets caught up in the drama of the extended episode, while Annette has made a number of guest appearances over the years.

Earlier this week, editor Neil Roberts tweeted: "My 1st ep of @BBCDoctors went out on 3/10/2000! Almost 700 eps later, I edited the explosive 20th ann special which goes out tomorrow.

"Gueststars incl the fab @georgiafoote & has explosions! Enjoy xx (sic)"

Georgia - who previously appeared as Katy Barnes for one episode in 2007 - replied: "Yay!!!! Cannot wait to see (sic)"

The 29-year-old actress - who played Katy Armstrong on the cobbles from 2010 to 2015 - previously revealed she was feeling "happier" than ever after getting "through the hardest times" in the past.

Georgia - who has been open about her mental health struggles in the past - tweeted: "I literally couldn\'t feel happier or have a fuller heart than i do right now.

"So many exciting things happening. The best friends, family and family in law ever. The best partner ever.

"It\'s so true you have to get through the hardest times for the good. I am proud of myself (sic)"

And Georgia has recently urged her fans to "listen to instructions" amid the coronavirus pandemic.

She tweeted: "Finding all this very scary. As i am sure many of you are. Knowing grandmothers and mothers haven\'t been able to see their children today is sad.

"The whole thing is sad. Please, for your own safety and your families safety, listen to instructions given. This is very real.

"The quicker we listen and act accordingly the quicker this can be over and feel like a mad dream. The less people we lose. The less awful stories we read.

"I know i won\'t make a difference saying it. But please. I don\'t want to be in the position where any of my family are ill."
