Occupation

Dr. Michelle Walton, portrayed by Joanna Bending, first appeared on 5 March 2024. Bending's casting was announced by her acting agency on 13 September 2023.[7] Debuting six months later, her character was brought in as a temporary replacement for Emma Reid (Dido Miles), who is in Australia amidst Michelle's hiring. Her backstory involves knowing established characters Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) from a conference in their youth and Luca McIntyre (Ross McLaren) from a medical course.[8]

Michelle comes from Oldham and has remained in loose off-screen contact with Zara over the 20 years that they have been friends. In a video filmed for Doctors' social media platforms to introduce the character to fans, Bending revealed that she was friends with Walsh at drama school so felt that their characters being connected was "serendipitous". Bending opined that Michelle is a very kind doctor and someone who other characters will use as a "good shoulder to cry on". She also revealed that Michelle is set to introduce an ex-partner to the Mill as a doctor to further help Zara.[9]
