9 | * DeadpanSnarker: Naturally, being played by Jo Brand. |

12 | * OnlySaneWoman: Remembers the old days before the endless new debilitating and restrictive NHS legislations. |

23 | * IncompatibleOrientation: Zig-zags, Hilary can't seem to decide if he is straight, gay or even asexual. |

33 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Peter Healy. |
34 | * [[spoiler:AmbiguouslyBi]]: When Dr. Oxford begins to flirt with her, Pippa doesn't seem to notice, even when asked if she fancies a hot tub party.

46 | |
47 | ->Played by: Ricky Grover |
48 | |
49 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He doesn't seem sure of his sexuality, despite having a sexual relationship with Den he takes extreme offence at the use of a homosexual slur (which prompts even the hospital official to ask whether this is because he is gay or just offended by the term.) Den later takes him to a gay bar, after they agree to stay JustFriends. |
50 | * FatBastard: Probably the most unpleasant character in the show. |
51 | * GenderBlenderName: His name has become more associated with females by the [=21st=] century. Plus, despite his gender, he's still the matron of the ward, due to the nature of the British nursing system. |
