I probably ought to remember who Lottie Summers is but I'm afraid that
I don't. From what little scrabbling around that I've done, it looks
as if she has appeared before.

But what a tiny cast list? We are almost back to the casts of the

Lottie is Oliver and Caroline's fosterchild and is now Chris Carter's
Hottie Lottie.

Is Lawrence Harrington the racist?

I thought the charming foster child was Carly, not Lottie. Isn't Lottie
a chum of Pip's, doesn't she have a child the same age as Rosie?

You're right about horrid Lawrence, though.

Lottie is Pip's friend from school (not that I recall hearing about her
at the time), who was rediscovered when Rosie started school with
Lottie's daughter.

We have recently heard about Lottie changing jobs to work at the
surgery. Somebody here pointed out a discrepancy in how this was
reported (Maybe she started twice, or started before she was
interviewed, I can't remember now.)

Lottie has appeared occasionally before, most recently in July 2024.

But what a tiny cast list? We are almost back to the casts of the
lockdown era!

Wrong

Lottie is an old friend of Pip who has a child at school with Rosie.
Lottie also knows Ian.

We were told at half term she was doing the new job which was why Pip
was annoyed that she could not get time off.

Then several weeks later Pip told Ruth she had started the new job.

Usual poor editing.

Having just relistened to this week via the omnibus there was a huge
oddity about the week. Ed only appeared on one day (Tuesday) when he
had a conversation with Leonard in the GPO waiting room and later a consultation with Azra in her consulting room.

Both conversations were excised from the Omnibus so he did not appear in
the omnibus at all and this is despite being referenced in the Tuesday spoiler.

Sometimes the bits cut are almost irrelevant to the ongoing story - but
during the chat in the consulting room George was almost discussed (Azra
could not talk to one patient about another patient), so this might be relevant.
