List of Doctors characters introduced in 2003–2004

Ronnie Woodson, portrayed by Seán Gleeson, first appeared on 17 January 2003 and made his final appearance on 27 March 2009. Ronnie was introduced shortly after the soap had introduced his wife, George (Stirling Gallacher). An experienced lawyer, Ronnie is often seen working with his clients and is "the first person anyone turns to", but is as committed to his family as he is to his job. On his BBC Online profile, Ronnie was described as "very laid back and a little naïve". It noted that although he enjoys his job, he is always trying to get in on bigger cases by "keeping his ear to the ground" at local police stations since he sees himself as a big criminal lawyer.

Although Ronnie is initially against the idea of having children, he settles into fatherhood when George has their daughter, Bracken (Jessica Gallagher). In 2009, it was announced that Gleeson had made the decision to leave ''Doctors'', as well as Gallacher. Their exits aired together, as well as that of their on-screen daughter's. Peter Lloyd, the series producer on ''Doctors'', was saddened by the Woodson's exit since he was "sad to see such vivid characters go". After Ronnie is offered and accepts a job in Shanghai, he, George and Bracken move to China.

For his portrayal of Ronnie, Gleeson was nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actor in 2007, as well as the award for Sexiest Male. At the same ceremony, himself and Gallacher won the award for Best On-Screen Partnership. In 2008, he received another nomination for Best Actor. Provided by Wikipedia
