Australia’s Favourite Doctor Is Back!

Australia’s Favourite Doctor Is Back!

Australia’s Favourite Doctor Is Back!

Australia’s Favourite Doctor Is Back!

DOCTOR DOCTOR, Nine’s smash-hit drama, returns on Wednesday, August 16, at 8.40pm after The Block.

The exceptional cast is back for season two: Rodger Corser (Hugh), Nicole da Silva (Charlie), Steve Bisley (Jim), Ryan Johnson (Matt), Tina Bursill (Meryl), Hayley McElhinney (Penny), Matt Castley (Ajax), Chloe Bayliss (Hayley), Charles Wu (Ken) and Belinda Bromilow (Betty). 

Angus McLaren (Packed to the Rafters), who plays the charismatic ex-army medic Dr Toke, and Brittany Clark playing Mia, Whyhope’s straight-talking new nurse, are two additions to the DOCTOR DOCTOR cast. 

Life is about to get a whole lot more complicated for bad boy Doctor Hugh. Penny (Hayley McElhinney) has been gone for a month now, after trading Whyhope for a job in the city. And she’s making the most of the lifestyle change, including dating an ex-army medic she met at her new hospital, Dr Toke (Angus McLaren), which leaves Hugh less than impressed. Will Hugh play his cards right and win her back before it’s too late? 

Meanwhile, Whyhope hospital is in chaos with Hugh’s dangerously incompetent new boss Nora Gumbleton (Helen Thomson) at the helm.  

Matt (Ryan Johnson) has disappeared to clear his head and Charlie (Nicole da Silva) is desperately trying to get him to return home, their marriage is in trouble, and it’s all thanks to Hugh. Theirs isn’t the only relationship being tested. When Hugh’s teenage son Ajax (Matt Castley) and his devoutly religious long-term girlfriend Hayley (Chloe Bayliss) accidentally have sex, Ajax wants to marry her!

After winning the election as Mayor, Hugh’s mother Meryl (Tina Bursill) faces a corruption investigation and could lose everything, while his dad Jim (Steve Bisley) is rushed to hospital after he collapses. His life is in danger, and only Hugh can save him.

And all the while, Hugh fights with temptation at every turn. The countdown is on, can he make it to the end of his probation without screwing up again, and ruining his career forever? 

DOCTOR DOCTOR films in Sydney and country NSW, produced by Ian Collie, Claudia Karvan and Tony McNamara for Nine, with the assistance of Screen Australia and Screen NSW.

DOCTOR DOCTOR SEASON TWO PREMIERES:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, AT 8.40PM AFTER THE BLOCK ON NINE
