Rosie Colton

Rosie Colton is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Janice Connolly. Details surrounding her casting and Rosie's characterisation were announced in February 2022. She was introduced on 24 February 2022 as a receptionist at Sutton Vale Surgery, as part of a storyline that sees the partners at the fictional Mill Health Centre perform a takeover of her surgery. Rosie is initially depicted as a hapless and ill-starred person who cannot perform her job properly, but she later proves herself to be competent.

Rosie had two initial tenures as a recurring character, with Connolly appearing in short-lived stints. However, after the cancellation of Doctors and the departure of regular character Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell), Rosie is reintroduced, with Connolly recontracted as a regular cast member. This saw various members of Rosie's family introduced to the soap. Her storylines throughout her time on the series included struggling with the disappearance of Dr. Jacob Ashdown, feuding with colleagues Princess Buchanan (Laura White) and Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) and becoming an environmental activist.
