Casting
On 19 July 2014, it was reported by Digital Spy that Laura Rollins had joined the cast as new regular Ayesha Lee. Rollins revealed: "Ayesha is the new practice nurse and she arrives with a bang. It's going to be very dramatic. What's very nice about Ayesha is that we get an insight into her extended family, which doesn't always happen on Doctors. There are a lot of storylines with my on-screen mum and little sister, and there are other members of the family coming in soon. Ayesha's family all have their own emotional baggage, which will get thrust onto The Mill. It's really exciting stuff and there's some quite harrowing, high-stakes stories happening."[2]
