Doctors spoilers as soap returns to screens with dramatic bombing story
The wait for the missing episodes is almost over.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for upcoming episodes of Doctors.
Doctors has been subject to some pretty hefty schedule shake-ups as of late, on account of the tragic earthquake in Turkey and Syria. While many of us have come to know and love the medical soap for its afternoon appearances, this week has seen episodes of Doctors being replaced by Animal Park Heroes.
Well, now we know when the missing episodes are set to air and not only that, they're set to return with a major storyline.

Monday 20th February's episode will explore a heart-wrenching explosion at a medical conference. There are multiple casualties, but what caused it and which of the Mill staff are caught up in the carnage?
The episode will star Wendi Peters as Dr Nina Bulsara, Martha Cope as Lynda Hamilton who comes on to the scene of the explosion in a police uniform, John McAndrew as George Barker, and Jake Sharp as Vincent 'Vaz' Ashton.
The resulting episodes will deal with the aftermath of the event, with Zara trying to get her head around it all and Daniel trying to get everyone to speak to a counsellor, with differing results.
The Mill Health Centre will also deal with a multitude of different stories, including a marriage breakdown and Rob and Jimmi helping a police officer who was part of the rescue team in the explosion, but all is not what it seems.
Elsewhere, in the week's episodes, we will see Daniel and Zara throw Joe a birthday party, but Ruhma and Scarlett are confused by Kirsty’s living arrangements with Rich.
