Margaret Ann "Maggie" Doyle is a fictional character portrayed by Lisa McCune in the long-running Australian police show Blue Heelers. She first appeared in 1994, and exited in 2000.
Maggie arrived in Mount Thomas in the debut episode 'A Woman's Place'. She was driving into town and was pulled over by P.J. (Martin Sacks) and Nick (William McInnes). P.J. gave her a breathalyser test and realised she was a cop. She then went on to the Imperial Hotel, where she was staying, and finds out that Wayne Patterson (an old love of hers) was living and working in Mount Thomas. She then goes to the police station and introduced herself to Sergeant Tom Croydon. (It was shown that Tom and Maggie's father, Pat Doyle had also once been posted at the same station.) This episode saw Maggie trying to convince a girl who had been raped to press charges. She also shoots Mick Doherty's dog as it was going to attack and kill Wayne.
The debut episode of the series showed us Maggie's good nature and how opposed she is to sexism. Prior to her arrival in Mount Thomas, all of the police officers were men, and the town seemed to find the idea of a female police officer funny. This changed, of course, over the course of the series as more female officers were posted to Mount Thomas.She is the fourth longest character behind Tom,Chris and PJ
Maggie was a constable when the series began. In Series 2 (1995) she filled in as police prosecutor and passed her Senior Constable's exam (Wayne Patterson failed the same exam). Maggie was promoted to Senior Constable in Season 5 (1998) when a position finally became available, and was Acting Sergeant from later in Season 5 (1998) to mid-season 6. She returned as Senior Constable when she returned from witness protection until her departure in Season 7 (2000).
It was revealed in the first episode that Maggie and Wayne had a relationship while they were at the academy together.
It was clear from the start of the series that P.J. was interested in Maggie and they kissed at the end of Season 2 but decided it meant nothing and it didn't continue. They had a one-night stand in season 4 in a mine shaft but Maggie got scared and the relationship ended.
