Brand new ITV drama Maternal<\/a> premieres this week and, in addition to being reflective of the NHS is in crisis<\/a>, it follows three mothers as they return to work in post-pandemic frontline medicine.<\/p>\n

The drama\u00a0stars Parminder Nagra, Lisa McGrillis and Lara Pulver<\/a>, as well as another notable familiar face: Pulver\u2019s real-life husband, Raza Jeffrey. The former Homeland and Spooks star joins the Maternal cast<\/a> as Jack Oliviera, a fellow doctor in City General Hospital and one of Catherine\u2019s (Pulver) love interests.<\/p>\n

In a clip exclusive to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, viewers can get a sneak peek into the pair\u2019s on-screen romance and storyline.<\/p>

In the teaser, we see Pulver\u2019s Catherine and McGrillis\u2019s Helen getting lunch in the hospital canteen, talking about their first days back. Helen talks about the \u201ccrazy\u201d fact that Louise, the nurse her husband had an affair with, is actually on her very own rotation.<\/p>\n

But conversation soon turns to Jack as he saunters up to the lunch line. \u201cSpeaking of regretful sexual encounters, here\u2019s your ex,\u201d Helen whispers. He pushes to the front of the line, ordering a coffee before calling Helen \u201cradiant\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always smells so lovely, doesn\u2019t he Catherine? What is that?\u201d Helen asks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a bowel perforation at 8 this morning,\u201d he says before turning to Catherine. \u201cHave you heard the rumour that Becky\u2019s leaving?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cConsultant Becky?\u201d Catherine asks. \u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty exciting opportunity for us if she goes,\u201d Jack states in the light-hearted scene before saying that he\u2019s giving Catherine the heads-up because he misses her.<\/p>\n
