Dr. Heston Carter is a fictional character in the soap opera Doctors, played by Owen Brenman. He made his first appearance on 14 October 2008.
Heston originally trained to be an Orthopaedic Surgeon and worked in the NHS for years. He wasn't that popular with staff, especially Vivien March, the former matron on his Orthopaedic ward. Heston decided to work as a GP following a heart attack which made him re-assess his future.
Heston is first mentioned when Julia Parsons and George Woodson are discussing who she is interviewing for Joe Fenton's job. Heston's interview did not get off to a good start, as he assumed Julia to be a receptionist. Heston managed to get the job by taking Julia to the Icon Bar for lunch where he convinced her that he was right for the job. Julia has since had second thoughts due to Heston's unconventional approach to patient care and the ruffled feathers amongst the other staff. However, it seems Heston is to be a permanent fixture as he has been offered a partnership. Heston has taken on the role of mentoring new GP Registrar, Simon Bond. From the very beginning of Lily Hassan's arrival at The Mill, it is clear Heston is in love with her. Despite her constant rejection, he perseveres and it is made clear at the start of 2009 that she has feelings for him also. After helping Lionel and Vivien reunite, Lily kisses Heston and a relationship ensues. At the Mill's Christmas Party in 2009, Lily proposed to Heston but he rejected it.
In early 2009 after working very hard as a doctor and a partner Heston suffered a minor heart attack. Lily helped and supported Heston through this, and he later recovered and returned to his usual self. Heston made a shocking revelation during an assertiveness class he attended with Ruth. After going too far in a role play, Ruth says it was a blessing that he had never had children to which Heston said that he was a father - once. At the beginning of October 2009, Heston's wife, Christine O'Connell played by Christine Kavanagh, and mother of his recently announced child, Steven O'Connell played by Theo Cowan, re-appeared in his life and he was determined to make sure that she didn't make his life a misery once again.
