Valerie


Having Valerie back has reminded me just how much I didn't miss her!

 I think I'm remembering correctly that it's only me and one other regular on this board who actually likes her presence in Doctors - I'll strike you off my list of suspects, Mumsy!

I have always provided the caveat that I'm certain if she was a real life person and I had to work with her, I'd probably either throttle her or have a nervous breakdown but I enjoy watching her annoying the other characters anyway. The Cook's Heaven party episode was a laugh, I thought; Valerie causing her usual mayhem.

I don't mind Valerie,she is great to watch, but I am grateful that we only have her in small doses!

Think I'm turning into a grumpy old woman - I just find her too ridiculous!

LOL, I've been a 'grumpy old woman' for years now so it's a miracle that Valerie doesn't incur my wrath. I think she brings just enough humour with her to be on the right side of me.

I always forget how much she annoys me to be fair, but then she does bring a different dynamic to the show. Anyone else sensing our recent sighting of Barry could be hinting at a new romance, given their closeness before her last departure?

reply

I was wondering when Barry would show up again and you're right, it did seem like he popped up just when Valerie returned to the Mill - I had hoped that the two of them might finally get a chance of pairing up but with Valerie's new health worries, I suppose she has other priorities now. It will be interesting to observe Valerie in a more serious storyline.

I am mortified that she has the same name as me.
