Adam arrived, looking for a quiet life in the Dales, following his divorce. His first medical emergency from on his arrival was being alerted by Daz Eden that Debbie Dingle was in labour while in Seth Armstrong's hut. Adam set up a clinic at the church hall and worked hard to gain the respect and admiration of his new neighbours. Working in the village and living at the B&B, Adam was right at the heart of the community and soon won over pensioners Edna Birch and Betty Eagleton with his well-worn charm offensive. It wasn’t just the oldies that loved the new GP.
