After Keen departed from her role as Julia, Howard becomes practice manager.

In 2014, Karen is involved in a car accident, and suffers severe head trauma and as a result, loses all of her memories from the age of 18 onwards.

In 2015, ''Doctors''' 3000th episode was transmitted, in which a special storyline was created centring on a number of the main characters, most specifically Rob; when he was younger, he caused a car accident, but his childhood friend, took the blame as Rob was about to enter the police force. That same year, Howard dies of a [[brain aneurism]]. In 2016, [[Anthony Harker]] ([[Adam Astill]]) joins as a new practice manager, and he bullies Mrs Tembe, who leaves to work for a rival surgery. Anthony's [[autocratic management]] style then targets Jimmi, who forms a plan with Mrs Tembe and Daniel to take over the Mill. Mrs Tembe is offered his position, to which she accepts. 2016 also sees the beginning of a [[Foster care|fostering]] storyline for Karen and Rob, with the pair getting the necessary training to become foster parents. The ''Doctors'' research team worked with British charity The Fostering Network for a year ahead of the storyline in order to represent fostering accurately, and they credited the programme with an insurgence of fostering representation on television.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thefosteringnetwork.org.uk/blogs/danielsinclairtfn/rob-and-karens-story-bbc-1s-doctors-how-fostering-network-has-been-involved |title=Rob and Karen's Story on BBC 1's Doctors - how The Fostering Network has been involved |website=The Fostering Network |access-date=6 June 2020 |archive-date=6 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200606200131/https://www.thefosteringnetwork.org.uk/blogs/danielsinclairtfn/rob-and-karens-story-bbc-1s-doctors-how-fostering-network-has-been-involved |url-status=live}}</ref> Whilst the fostering storyline was airing, the producers also decided to introduce a long-running [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] storyline for Rob.<ref name="PTSD">{{cite news |last=Cornish |first=Andrew |title=Doctors - Mental Health Awareness Week |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/entries/cd03e4d0-71e9-4bac-ae7a-bc982736c6c9 |access-date=19 July 2022 |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=9 May 2018 |archive-date=22 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210322123741/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/entries/cd03e4d0-71e9-4bac-ae7a-bc982736c6c9 |url-status=live}}</ref>
