Nina Bulsara (played by Wendi Peters) takes centre stage on today's special FLASHBACK episode of Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).
Last week on the BBC daytime drama, Nina was reminded of her late husband, Rahul Bulsara (Ravi Aujla), while dealing with a depressed patient whose husband had also passed away.
Nina is working at the Campus Surgery when she meets Craig Henty (Mark Donald).
Craig admits he is dreading Christmas, since the death of his wife in a car accident earlier in the year.
But Craig knows he has to be there for their two daughters.
Nina can sympathise with Craig, since Christmas is also a reminder for her of her late husband, Rahul...
As the episode flashes back in time, more about Nina's early family life with Rahul and their young son, Suni (Rahul Arya), is revealed.
Times were different, times were happier.
WHAT was Nina like before she joined the staff at The Mill?
Find out as the Bulsara family dynamics are seen to eventually begin to change as each Christmas came and went?
The episode also features Bibi Jay as Young Nina and Harish Goutam as Young Rahul.
