Q Your character, Adrian ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, has been very stressed out recently. How’s he been coping with the nursing shortage at Holby?

A I don’t think Fletch is a natural for the role of director of nursing but part of his charm is that, first and foremost, he’s a nurse. So dealing with a lack of funds has been stressful. Fletch takes it all to heart and thinks it’s his fault he can’t find a way out of this mess.

Q With the nursing crisis finally over this week, Fletch turns his attentions to his health. What makes him think something is wrong?
