Express does a nice roundup of favorite characters and tells us what they have been up to since playing on “Doc Martin.” You’ll get updates on Judy Punch (Elaine–my favorite receptionist, although I like all of the women who’ve played the role, but Elaine put the Doc in his place)–and lots of other favorites, including Aunt Joan (Stephanie Cole).
They missed my all-time favorite character and episode, which was Stewart James (Ben Miller) in Series 1, episode 4 “The Portwenn Effect.” Here are a couple sites about Ben Miller. One lists a lot of the shows he’s been in, and the other mentions “Doc Martin” 2022. I wonder if we will see Stewart, the Ranger, in the final series.
