Polly Character Page

Words to sum up Polly...

Youthful, idealistic, stubborn, optimistic, sexy, wilful, witty, strong, naïve, headstrong, opinionated.

In a nutshell...

Polly's a superhero; she wants to save the world. The only problem is Polly is young, idealistic and needs to learn that the world is a complicated place and not everyone wants to be healed.

Background...

Polly (Pauline) was born in 1985, now 23, and had a loving but strict upbringing by her father, Bill, a widower. Polly's mum, Susan, died giving birth to Polly but her dad never told her - he wanted her to be strong and happy, not burdened with guilt or the truth.

Love life...

We've seen nothing on screen yet...

Defining moments...

Polly arrived in Series 23, Episode 29 and quickly made an impression with her endless smile and hugs for the gang, but the job's tougher than she imagined. Will the needlestick injury she received in Episode 40 dampen her enthusiasm?
