EastEnders’ Ruth for Doctors

Former EastEnders actress Caroline Paterson is to guest star in Doctors as Jill Dyson.

The character will appear in the popular daily daytime soap in late October as a mother. As Ruth Aitken in EastEnders from 1994 to 1999 she was part of some of the decades bigger storylines including marrying into the Fowler family in 1995 and becoming foster parents with husband Mark (Todd Carty) before having an affair with his cousin Conor, who she became pregnant to.

She rejected both Mark and Conor, and left the square as a ‘single mother.’ Since EastEnders she’s appeared in Coronation Street as police detective D.C. Weller covering a couple of Weatherfield’s crimes.
