Cherry Clay (also Malone) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Sophie Abelson. She made her first appearance on 6 April 2009. Cherry departed Doctors on 19 October 2012.
When Cherry arrived she turned heads amongst the male staff, especially Jimmi Clay and Daniel Granger (Matthew Chambers). However Cherry does not have feelings for them. She was shown to be trying to form a relationship with Simon Bond (David Sturzaker), a GP Registrar, but Cherry was unaware until Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) informed her, that Simon is gay. Cherry has recently helped Michelle Corrigan (Donnaleigh Bailey) realise that she should stay at the surgery.
Recently she saw Michelle drinking vodka in the surgery but after talking to Simon decided to not tell anyone but try to help Michelle instead, but she was knocked back. Then during the vaccination clinic, despite Cherry double checking Michelle gave her the wrong needle and they sent a man into anaphylactic shock, Michelle blamed Cherry. When Cherry tried to tell Julia the truth, Michelle had covered her trail and Cherry was suspended. In September Cherry met, Scott Nielson (Sam Heughan) who was unknown to Cherry that he was a drug dealer. On Friday 13 November 2009, Cherry woke up to find that Scott was lying beside her dead. She tried to resuscitate him but failed. The police arrived and DS Richmond arrested Cherry, saying she had something to do with Scott's death. (At this time it was not known to the viewers that Scott was a drug dealer, although the viewers could tell something was wrong with him.) At the police station, DI Amanda Lucas was very hard a nasty towards Cherry saying she had something to do with Scott's death. Cherry was very upset and could hardly sleep, her solicitor defended her against DI Lucas. Sgt. Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) (who is the husband of Cherry's colleague, Karen (Jan Pearson), and the father of her friend, Imogen (Charlie Clemmow)) found £1,000 worth of heroin stuffed in a teddy bear in Scott's flat. Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan), who was the police surgeon at the station to help Cherry said she is unfit to interview.
