Fans of the popular medical drama series, Doctors, will be thrilled to hear that actress Bharti Patel is joining the cast of EastEnders! She will be playing the role of Maya, a new character who will be arriving in Walford next Wednesday. Maya will be striking up an unlikely friendship with one of the square's favorite residents, Harvey Monroe.
Harvey and Maya will bond over their mutual love of football, giving Harvey a much-needed boost after feeling lonely since his two best mates, Mitch Baker and Rocky Cotton, left his life. Mitch moved to Spain with his family, while Rocky was sent to jail for trying to burn down the cafe in a desperate attempt to claim on the insurance. This caused a great deal of turmoil for many of his loved ones and left Harvey feeling quite isolated.
Bharti has been a part of the Doctors' cast since 2015, playing the role of Ruhma Carter. However, with the show's recent cancellation, her time on the daytime drama will soon come to an end. This new role on EastEnders is an exciting opportunity for her to explore a different character and showcase her acting skills to a new audience.
Unfortunately, this news comes at a bittersweet time for Doctors fans, as the show was officially axed by the BBC in October. The cast wrapped up production on March 1st, with the final episode set to air later this year. Many talented actors, such as Emilia Clarke and Eddie Redmayne, have made appearances on Doctors before rising to fame in other projects.
As for Maya's storyline, viewers can look forward to seeing her form a strong bond with Harvey, bringing some much-needed joy and companionship into his life. It will be interesting to see how their friendship unfolds and what kind of impact Maya will have on the residents of Walford.
Sadly, this will also mark the end of an era for soap fans, as the Mill sets of Doctors will be closing its doors for good. But until then, we can continue to enjoy new episodes of EastEnders, airing Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
