Chicken Soap for the Soul with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh and Special Guest Adrian Lewis Morgan
This week on Chicken Soap for the Soul, Elisabeth is joined by Adrian Lewis Morgan – the Welsh star best known for his iconic role as Dr Jimmi Clay in the BBC One soap Doctors, which he played from 2005 until its final episode in 2024. With over 2,180 episodes to his name, Adrian was the show's longest-serving cast member. He also appeared in Holby City as Liam Evans from 2001 to 2002.
Adrian’s roots lie in musical theatre. He trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and went on to perform in major West End productions including Sweeney Todd, Les Misérables, and Rent.
He shares how his acting journey began at the age of 10—expecting to learn knitting, not drama—and reflects on nervy college audition rooms, and the chaos of taking over the role of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at the very last minute, in a performance that ended with an on-stage hanging... and a bit of vomiting.
Elisabeth and Adrian trade behind-the-scenes stories from 20 years on Doctors (think Shakespearean sonnets and unexpected musical numbers), dive into Jimmi’s famously unlucky-in-love love life, and reveal the secret to keeping your energy up on set (spoiler: snacks).
