The following is a list of characters who first appeared in the BBC soap opera Doctors in 2000, by order of first appearance. In the first ever episode, viewers were introduced to the characters of Anoushka Flynn, Joanna Helm and Kate and Mac McGuire. Throughout the following episodes, Caroline Powers, Helen Thompson and Steve Rawlings were introduced. Rana Mistry and Ruth Harding later completed the final nine regular characters, as well as Mac's son Patrick later arriving, appearing on a recurring basis.
Anoushka Flynn played by Carli Norris, made her first appearance on 26 March 2000 and last on 19 May 2000.
Anoushka was the nurse at the surgery, and had relationships with both Steve Rawlings (Mark Frost) and Rana Mistry (Akbar Kurtha). Months later, she discovers she is pregnant with either Steve's or Rana's babies. She leaves the surgery the following day, to take care of the baby and start a new life. She was the first original Doctors cast member to leave.
Joanna Helm played by Sarah Manners, made her first appearance on 26 March 2000 and last on 1 June 2001.
Joanna was the receptionist at the surgery, the first that the surgery had. Joanna meets her grandmother Jessie (Marcia Ashton). Joanna looks at Jessie's medical records and finds out that Jessie is dying of a brain tumour. Jessie tells Joanna that she knows she is dying, and asks Joanna to help her die. Joanna helps Jessie die, and pretends to be upset when she is told that Jessie died overnight. However, when Jessie's nurse takes a look at how she died, she suspects foul play. Mac McGuire (Christopher Timothy) was suspected on killing Jessie, however Mac is cleared. Due to the guilt, Joanna began taking drugs, stealing them from the surgery. She subscribed to more drugs, forging signatures of doctors at the surgery, and eventually took an overdose, nearly dying. She later confessed to the death of her nan, all part of an euthanasia pact, and was dismissed by Mac, on good terms.
