Pics: Laila Rouass's first week at 'Holby'

Published Tuesday, Feb 1 2011, 16:50 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly | 3 comments
Laila Rouass makes her debut in Holby City in two weeks' time, appearing as new regular character Sahira Shah.

Sahira has been billed as a "brilliant surgeon" and Holby's executive producer Belinda Campbell has promised that she will bring "a fresh new energy" to the BBC medical drama.

Revealing further details about the character last November, series producer Myar Craig-Brown added: "She'll get involved with Greg and put Jac's nose out of joint - and Jac will find it difficult because Sahira isn't all handbags at dawn! Sahira comes in, makes people cupcakes and is well liked."

Here, Soap Scoop takes a look behind-the-scenes at Holby with three pictures from Laila's first week of filming:
