Hazeem Durrani, portrayed by Ashraf Ejjbair, first appeared on 17 January 2022.[2] Ejjbair announced via Instagram that he would be appearing in Doctors on a recurring basis and that he began filming for the soap in September 2021.[3] Hazeem was introduced to the series as a relative of Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) who stays with her following travelling in Thailand. He is followed by Daisha Rashid (Sophie Kandola), with whom he shared a casual relationship with whilst travelling. Daisha tells Hazeem and Ruhma that she has nowhere to stay due to her relationship with her parents being tumultuous and informs them that she is set to stay in a hostel. Ruhma allows her to stay at hers alongside Hazeem, to his annoyance since he does not want a serious relationship. He eventually dumps her and after realising that Ruhma and Daisha have formed a close bond, he demands they cut contact with each other.[4]
Ruhma introduces Hazeem to Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee), who sets Hazeem up with various job interviews. However, he turns down potential jobs and misses an interview due to falling asleep, leading Ruhma to demand he gets a job and pays rent for living with her. She tells him to "get his act together" and gets him a temporary job on reception at the Mill Health Centre.[5] What to Watch's Simon Timblick described Hazeem as "lazy".[5] Receptionists Karen Hollins (Jan Pearson) and Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) show different attitudes towards having Hazeem work with them on reception. Karen is unhappy with his lack of work experience, while Valerie believes having him work at the Mill will be a good experience and trains him. However, Hazeem "is left shaken" after his first patient encounter.[5] However, he eventually "finds his groove".[6]

Davinia Hargrove, portrayed by Clare Wille, first appeared on 8 February 2022.[7] She was introduced as an old school friend of Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) after she moves to the Midlands to pursue growth in her clothing company. Timblick (What to Watch) described Davinia as a "high flying fashion businesswoman".[5] It was confirmed by Timblick that her arrival in the fictional town would mean that she will share a lot of scenes with Zara. He also hinted that the rekindling of their friendship could mean the end of Zara's friendship with long-term friend Emma Reid (Dido Miles).[7] Zara is "thrilled" to have Davinia in town and she invites Zara to a fashion show where she admits that she does not have many friends.[8]
Afterwards, Davinia asks Zara if she can act as a cover story by telling her husband, Julian Hargrove (Henry Douthwaite), that she is staying there. She explains that she is cheating on Julian and needs a cover for her secret relationship.[5] Due to loving Davinia's "go-getter attitude", she agrees, which earns the disapproval of Zara's partner, Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers).[9] Julian unexpectedly travels from London and turns up at Zara's house to find that Davinia is not there, and after she takes several hours to show up, he questions why she is lying to him. The two argue and he agrees to go back to London.[10] Davinia and Zara meet up with fellow former classmate Belinda Cooper (Emma Cooke), who admits that she was nervous of the pair whilst at school. Davinia takes pride in her mean reputation, nastily reminding Belinda about an incident where a school teacher made her cry, leaving Zara to be "taken aback by her bitchy behaviour".[11] Zara realises that Davinia has not grown up and decides to cut their friendship off.[12]
Rosie Colton[]
Rosie Colton, portrayed by Janice Connolly, made her first appearance on 24 February 2022. She was introduced as a receptionist at Sutton Vale Surgery, which the Mill take over. When she meets business manager Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) and surgery partners Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) and Daniel Grangers (Matthew Chambers), Rosie fills them in on the details of Sutton Vale. This includes the case of missing person Dr Ashdown, who randomly went missing.[6] Rosie is shown to be hapless with technology and co-worker Princess Buchanan (Laura White) makes a comment that she is ready to retire, which new lead GP of Sutton Vale Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) is disappointed about.[13]

Princess Buchanan, portrayed by Laura White, made her first appearance on 2 March 2022. She was introduced as a trainee doctor at Sutton Vale Surgery, which the Mill take over. She is "not too impressed by the newcomers" coming into her surgery and Timblick (What to Watch) hinted that she may have a feud with Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) when she learns he is the new lead GP at Sutton Vale.[14] When Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) gives Princess a tour of the Mill, she likes what she sees but does not notice the frosty reception she gets from Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Luca McIntyre (Ross McLaren). It was noted by Timblick that Princess "makes an impression" upon her arrival at the Mill.[15] Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers) asks Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) to become Princess' trainer.[13] Sid is impressed by Princess' skills as a doctor, with it being noted by Timblick that she is a "hard and dedicated worker".[16]
Princess meets with Daniel and Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) to discuss her future at the Mill. Despite them trying to have her situated at Sutton Vale, Princess pushes them to make her primarily working at the Mill, since she prefers the opportunities it has for her career. It was confirmed that Princess would be involved in a romantic storyline with Bear after she "catches his eye".[17] The pair go on a date which is hijacked by Sid and Hazeem Durrani (Ashraf Ejjbair), which annoys Bear; however, Princess is "loving all the attention from her male admirers".[17] Timblick wrote that Princess has a sneaky side which would be shown when Princess plays Hazeem and Bear off against each other. Bear eventually becomes jealous about the attention she is showing to Hazeem.[17]
