Character guide
Caroline Todd
Last time we saw her, Caroline was floating away while clutching a large bunch of balloons on the day she wed the dying Mac. However, Mac survived his mystery illness, ultimately leading to the couple separating soon after. Caroline ended up moving to Concord, Massachusetts, where she remarried - and later divorced.
During her time in the USA, she helped to develop a new surgical device, the "Todd clamp", resulting in her being made the new head of surgery at East Hampton, taking the slot Mac hoped would be is. Understandably, there is still tension between Caroline, Mac and Guy.
Mac Macartney
Having been diagnosed with a deadly illness, Mac married Caroline after Guy gallantly did the right thing for once. However, due to a mixture of stem cells, Chinese technology and a Polish donor, he survived. This resulted in a crisis of conscience, leading Mac to leave Caroline and join Médecins Sans Frontières, helping people in Somalia.
However, not long after joining he was taken prisoner by insurgents and held for six years, during which time many believed him dead. He has only recently rejoined East Hampton after getting his freedom, but some things have not changed. He's still riding his motorbike, and still up to the odd moment of high jinks during surgery.
Guy Secretan
After deciding not to marry Caroline, it seems that the half-Swiss anaesthetist returned to his womanising ways, marrying and divorcing several times over the years while still carrying on his work at East Hampton. He has managed to raise his public profile, becoming a presenter on daytime TV and has a podcast in the works.
However, he knows he's in trouble, and has started undergoing therapy, which appears to help him slowly become a better person. At least he is still keeping things up when it comes to Guyball.
Alan Statham
After the kinky, stuttering consultant radiologist went on a murder spree with his love Joanna, the duo tried to kill themselves by walking out into the sea. However, they were soon hauled onto a border patrol boat. Alan spent six months in an asylum seeker detention centre, after which his lawyers managed to get him psychiatric care rather than a custodial sentence.
Afterwards, Alan returned to East Hampton, but in a lower position, resulting in him being under orders from his ex-student Boyce. Despite this, Alan still tries to act as if he is the more powerful figure. All the time however, he is worried that Joanna is plotting revenge.
Joanna Clore
While Alan managed to virtually get away with the killings they both committed, Joanna has been stuck in prison for the past 12 years, occasionally getting visits from Sue White and her son, Martin. During her time inside, she has been staying with cellmates Big Marge and Leatherhead, and taken up - among other things - tattooing fellow convicts.
During her incarceration she has been plotting revenge on Alan, and it looks like the chance might be coming soon when it is revealed she is due to go before the parole board. However, she is still a bit touchy when it comes to the subject of her age.
Sue White
Not much has changed for Sue White since we last came across her. She is still East Hampton's liaison officer despite being totally unsuitable for the job, she is still mad as a box of frogs, and she is still insanely in love with Mac (despite the restraining order).
The Scot's madness has found her at loggerheads with the new head of HR, Harriet, who has decided to move Sue to a new office in the basement, next to the incinerator. Not surprisingly, she is keen to bring Harriet down by any means. Even if those means include hypnotising someone with a pair of bone knitting needles.
Martin Dear
Martin had not managed to pass his exams the last time we met him, acting as a page boy at Caroline's wedding. Today, he still hasn't passed his exams. Things are still not brilliant for him, what with his mother in prison, his incestuous half-brother Guy still bullying him, and occasionally having to make a little bit of extra cash working as a pizza delivery man on the side.
Harriet Schulenburg
Despite going feral (with all the other ladies of HR) after Joanna went on the run, order has seemingly returned with motherly Harriet now the head of the department. While three of her sons have become adults, the child she was pregnant with at the time we last saw her, Jake, is now 16 and causing many of the same problems her other sons gave her.
Her long years of parenting have seeped through to her management style, often treating the people who come to see her like kids. However, she is more than happy to put her foot down when needed, especially when it comes to Sue White. Outside of work, she has got into cryptocurrency in a big way, to the point she has started setting up multiple false hospital accounts to plunge more money into her schemes.
Boyce
Boycie's career has been on the rise over the past few years. Not only is he a qualified doctor, he is now the head of East Hampton's radiology department following Statham's run-in with the law. He is still more than capable with getting his way over his old teacher, even when Alan is willing to try to grab a parking space by marking it like a dog.
Regarding his relationships, we come to learn that Boyce married and became a widower. Thus being single, he is open to new relationships, which leads to new romantic problems among people who already had plenty of issues with their past love lives.
