Dorothy in All Creatures Great and Small (the 2020 TV series) is a supporting character who is closely connected to Mrs. Hall and Siegfried Farnon.

Who Dorothy Is

  • Dorothy is a long‑time friend of Mrs. Hall (Audrey), with their friendship going back to their days serving together in the WRNS (“the Wrens”) during the First World War.
  • In the 2020 adaptation, she appears as a recurring guest character rather than part of the core household at Skeldale.

Her role in the story

  • Dorothy’s visits to Skeldale House often stir up emotions and tensions, especially around Siegfried and Mrs. Hall’s quietly intimate dynamic.
  • She shares war‑era history and camaraderie with Mrs. Hall, which gives viewers more depth on Audrey’s past and her life before Darrowby.
  • In later episodes and specials, Dorothy is used as a romantic interest for Siegfried, creating a sort of triangle that some fans feel “sabotages” the Siegfried–Mrs. Hall emotional arc.

Actress and appearances

  • Dorothy is played by actress Maimie McCoy in the 2020 TV series.
  • She appears in several season‑one episodes and the Christmas special “The Night Before Christmas,” and then returns in later episodes, including a recent series finale storyline.

In short: Dorothy is Mrs. Hall’s old Wren friend and a later love interest for Siegfried, portrayed by Maimie McCoy in the current TV adaptation.
