Iconic soap star Wendi Peters has joined the cast of Doctors, and is set to appear in the show in the New Year.<\/p>\n
Peters is perhaps best known for playing loud and brash Cilla Battersby on Coronation Street<\/a>, but she\u2019ll be swapping the Cobbles for The Mill in February 2023.<\/p>\n She\u2019ll be playing Dr Nina Bulsara, a chatterbox who has an opinion on everything and everyone.<\/p>\n Though Nina can be overbearing and inappropriate at times, she\u2019s a ray of light and will always find the positive in any difficult situation \u2013 and she\u2019s bound to be a great addition to the team.<\/p> Speaking of her exciting Doctors role, Peters said: \u201cI am thrilled to be joining the wonderful Doctors team to play Dr Nina Bulsara \u2013 a woman on a mission who always seems to get what she wants!\u201d<\/p>\n Mike Hobson, executive producer of Doctors, added: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to welcome Wendi to the Doctors cast. She is a familiar face every soap fan will recognise, and we know she will be brilliant in this role. Wendi joins as Dr Nina Bulsara who is a feisty busybody who wants to be respected. She is bound to ruffle a few feathers at The Mill.\u201d<\/p>\n Doctors is made by BBC Studios and airs Monday to Friday at 1:45pm on BBC One.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong>TV guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0Soaps<\/a>\u00a0hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
