Freya Wilson

Freya Wilson is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Lu Corfield. She made her first appearance on 11 May 2011, and departed Doctors on 18 June 2012 after dying in a house fire. Following the character's death, Corfield went on to play the role of her sister, Lois Wilson, in 2014. Creation and casting Series producer Peter Lloyd asked his team to create two new characters. Dawn Coulson, who worked as the serial's script editor was given the task of creating one of the roles. She decided that the character would be female and felt that the series needed a character who was quite different in comparison to their established set of women. Corfield began filming on 18 February 2011, alongside fellow new cast member Simon Rivers who portrayed Kevin Tyler. She felt that it was great having someone else who was new by her side. Corfield and Rivers began shooting during triple banking and also had a documentary crew working with them. In May 2011, Doctors released a video on the serial's website to introduce their audience to the new characters. Lloyd said that when the series created new characters, he worried about the casting stages. This was because he believed it can ruin the work put in during the creation process. However, Lloyd praised Corfield and Rivers' casting because he believed that they were just "right" and a "couple of corkers". Lloyd later told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that the introduction of Freya and Kevin had helped to "even things out" and create a "good cross section". Corfield's first scenes as Freya aired during the episode broadcast on 11 May 2011. Development
