Ian Midlane, known for his portrayal of Dr. Al Haskey on the popular daytime soap Doctors, is preparing for his next big role in Hollywood. The beloved actor is saying goodbye to the Mill Health Centre and hello to the bright lights of Tinseltown, after the show's unfortunate cancellation.
Fans were delighted to learn that Ian will be joining the star-studded cast of the highly anticipated Bridget Jones sequel. His agent, Grantham Hazeldine, confirmed the news on social media, revealing that Ian will be playing the character of Paul in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy.
Excitement is building for the film, set to be released on Valentine's Day in 2025, with Renée Zellweger reprising her iconic role as Bridget Jones. The film will also see the return of Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver, much to the delight of fans.
Joining the star-studded cast is rising talent Leo Woodall, known for his roles in The White Lotus and One Day. He will play Bridget's new love interest, Roxster, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will take on the role of Mr. Wallaker, a teacher at Bridget's children's school.
Meanwhile, as the final episode of Doctors aired on Thursday, Ian took a moment to reflect on his time on the show. In a heartfelt post on Instagram, he paid tribute to the series that has been a part of his life for so long.
The BBC made the difficult decision to cancel the show last year due to budget cuts, and the final episode ended with a pointed message that seemed to be aimed at the corporation's bosses. Nevertheless, Ian expressed his gratitude for the show and the people he worked with, sharing a photo of himself leaving his dressing room and declaring that Doctors will always hold a special place in his heart.
As the final episode is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer, fans can relive the memories and say their farewells. And for those who are missing their daily dose of drama, we'd love to hear from you. Share your thoughts and stay updated on all things soap on our homepage.
