Yes, you could be right chrissa1, it could be someone else. (freya?) Did you notice one of the Hale and Pace comedians (Hale, I think) I never miss the programme.
A few years back before they took their Christmas break when Simon tried to kill himself the trailer for the next episode showed 4 cast members at a funeral and it was a red herring as Simon was still alive. I think one of them might have been kiled off or it could be a new storyline were Kev and Freya have an affair as they seem to really like one another.
They've only just changed the title sequence to reflect Julia going, so in my opinion they are unlikely to change them again so soon. I don't think there will be any dramatic changes cast wise.
I hope Kevin makes it! Doctor's not back until July 9th [according to my tv mag]. I wish my doctor's did as many home visits as they do in doctors. Also
puzzles me why they come out and get the patient instead of using an intercom.
