Al Haskey in Doctors was a long-running character played by Ian Midlane, and his storylines included stalking accusations, a relationship with Niamh, his mother’s dementia, and being attacked by a patient. The show ended in 2024, and Al was still part of its final chapter.

Quick Scoop

If you meant a specific “what happened” moment, there are a couple of notable plot beats:

  • In 2023, Al was attacked by Frankie Sharp and her associate, and the impact left the Mill reeling, with concern that the brain injury could change his personality.
  • In early 2024, Al was questioned by police after the death of a former patient, Joseph Williams, in a storyline that brought him into a possible murder investigation.

What this means

So, in short: Al didn’t just disappear — he was involved in several major drama storylines, and the final show-era plots focused heavily on conflict, injury, and police questioning.
