EX-EastEnder and Footballer's Wives star Gillian Taylforth takes a stroll by the River Ouse with Gary Mavers, Peak Practice's Dr Attwood.

The pair are in York for Gillian's stage debut in Richard Stockwell's Bad Blood, running at the Grand Opera House between March 24 and 29.

Gillian, formerly Kathy Beale in EastEnders, will play Vic, the love interest of Tom (Mavers), the ideal couple with the perfect marriage until their lives are turned upside down when Tom realises Vic cannot give him his longed for-son.

Julie Butterfield, who recently played Julie in Hollyoaks, also appears in the production.
