General practitioner Business Partner with the Mill Health Centre
Dr. Daniel Granger MBBS is a fictional character in the soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Matthew Chambers. Daniel is introduced as a general practitioner at The Mill. He made his first appearance on 9 July 2007. He is the second longest running character.
Daniel arrived hiding some dangerous secrets, following the theft of a large sum of money from his former practice partner in London. He used the money to clear part of a £200,000 debt he had run up as a result of an ongoing gambling addiction. With no intention of facing up to his problem, his addiction continued to spiral out of control, ultimately resulting in a confrontation with his criminal debtors. The criminals' actions worsened to the point that they made hostages of Melody Bell and Joe Fenton in order to force Daniel to repay them. Following the ordeal, Daniel came to terms with his addiction and turned himself in to the police. He was later faced with a tribunal.
In Series 10, Daniel went through further turmoil as his mentally ill colleague Ruth Pearce held him captive in the medical centre's sick bay. Whilst holding Daniel against his will, Ruth had tried to save a patient from a heart attack, pretending to be nurse Michelle Corrigan. Ultimately the patient was saved - primarily due to Daniel's work - but in the meantime Daniel made an escape attempt and injured his leg, cutting it on the glass from a window. Following this incident, Daniel phoned Melody to warn her that Ruth appeared to be suffering a nervous breakdown. This led to Melody referring Ruth to a mental health facility under the Mental Health Act, to keep her from endangering herself and others.
