Photos will be available in a password protected area when ready. [...]

I leave work tonight to return on Tuesday, damaged by stag weekend frivolities. We’ve got a great weekend lined up and there will inevitably be photos. Thanks in advance to Harry and Hugh for keeping me safe!

Helen and I are organising our wedding ourselves and as the big day swiftly approaches we find more and more little things we’re supposed to have done already! So I’ve got to put as much available free time into ensuring that everything runs smoothly on the day. For that reason I will not be accepting [...]

Last nights episode was particularly odd as Sean McNamara discovered that his best mate and co-surgeon Christian Troy was actually the father of his son Matt.
