Join Elisabeth Dermot Walsh - known as scheming Dr Zara from Doctors - as she explores the stories of actors who either started in soaps, ended up there, or just briefly passed by. With the Doctors practise closing its doors after 24 years, Elisabeth has hung up her stethoscope and is ready to take you behind the scenes of the world of soap - full of drama, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
For many actors, the world of ‘continuing drama’ is where it all began. It’s a place that shaped their craft, their careers and their lives. A stint ‘at the rockface’ of television can be a pivotal experience in an actor’s life.
In each episode, Elisabeth chats with actors past and present to uncover their journeys and the impact of those iconic roles. Chicken Soap for the Soul is a dive into the highs, lows, and unexpected twists that make soaps so special - both in front of and behind the camera. Tune in each week for your dose of heart, humour, and a touch of drama.

Chicken Soap for the Soul with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh and Special Guest Elizabeth Bower
On this week’s episode of Chicken Soap for the Soul, Elisabeth is joined by the brilliant Elizabeth Bower, whose unforgettable turn as Dr Melody Bell lit up over 300 episodes of Doctors. Elizabeth isn’t just brilliantly funny — she’s played a remarkable range of roles, from Spoons to Silent Witness, and from Trollied to Miss Scarlett and the Duke.
Elisabeth and Liz talk about the challenge of playing ‘straight’ after having done so much comedy, about suddenly having to learn to pole dance (and getting some abs painted on for good measure) and about the joy of voicing audiobooks and bringing them to life.
