This means that Niamh Algar\u2019s Lucinda, the central figure from season 1<\/a>, won\u2019t be returning.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> caught up exclusively with the show\u2019s writer and former doctor, Grace Ofori-Attah, to find out why this was.<\/p>\n Explaining when the idea of a second season came up, Ofori-Attah said: \u201cI think when I was initially thinking about it, medical malpractice, there are obviously lots of different areas that you could look at for story.<\/p>\n \u201cThe A&E story and drugs, that was something that I knew a lot about from past experience, so that seemed like a natural place to start.<\/p>\n \u201cBut actually, once we had the medical investigators, there were lots of different cases that they could look into, and then the possibilities for different storylines becomes endless.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked whether she ever considered bringing Algar\u2019s character back for season 2, Ofori-Attah said: \u201cWhen we cast Niamh and the storytelling was going quite well, I did sort of think, \u2018Gosh, could we bring her back? I mean, it would be really nice to know what happens to her medical career<\/a> and what happens to her, like do her and Tom survive?\u2019 All of those kind of things.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut I think Niamh, she\u2019s such a star, it would be hard to bring her back as a sort of background character, and to do another story focused on her would be difficult if it\u2019s still a medical malpractice thing, because we sort of dealt with her malpractice.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, yeah, easier I think to look at a different area and different central doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Jordan](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/malpracticeepisode129-679317c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"malpractice_episode_1_29\\"\/")
