viewers watched fuming medic Dr Todd let rip at Jacob Gallagher (Joe Warren Plant) on his very first day in A&E. The blunder was a serious one, involving the misidentification of a body.
Yet amid all of the drama on-screen, some were occupied with another concern – just where they might have seen Dr Todd before.
They soon discovered that she was none other than Caroline Harker, who’d once been a major player in crime drama Touch of Frost.
She played Hazel in the series, which had run between 1992 and 2010. Almost 15 years since the show was axed, and fans still remember her face.
On a thread this week, a fan reached out looking for help to remember where they’d seen her before. “Who played the white haired Dr Todd in tonight’s episode?” they quizzed.

I’m sure I’ve seen her in something before.
“Google is letting me down as they’ve previously used the character name.”
“Recently she was in Joan – she was the posh lady they stole the painting from,” explained one fellow fan.
Her character, Ms Taylor Brown, was indeed targeted by Joan (Sophie Turner) and Boisie (Frank Dillane) as they duped her so they could swipe a rare and valuable painting from her.
However, that’s not the only major show she’s recently appeared in.

She was raised around the acting profession, with both parents working in the industry.
She attended a strict convent boarding school run by nuns before going on to drama school – and ending up in , much to the delight of fans.
