Dori/Samantha
So Papa G's dommy* daughter
Nina joins Isidingo next Tuesday (9th) but she isn't the soapie's only newcomer. Two other characters arrive over the next two weeks: a sane, hard-core journalist and a nutjob.
Journalist and news anchor Samantha Sharma lands a job at Hardline in the middle of June - she arrives on the 16th. She's played by Strictly Come Dancing winner Zakeeya Patel and she's uncompromising apparently. A less angular
Debora Patta type who joins Frank on Hardline as a co-anchor.
The crackpot arrives the day after Samantha and spends a lotta time over at Eddie's. Dori's a life coach who Eddie organises to help with his relationship with Yvette.
She's played by Tiffany Barbuzano and has a bag of weird techniques she uses as "therapy" which Yvette has a problem with - which I'm pleased about because I'd want to smack her too.
I don't trust life coaches and never have. I've met two and both were shudder-creepy.
