He's not there to be a character in his own right - he simply exists as the "plot" that is driving Belle's teenage delusion of love.
He's just an expendable character with no connections, no friends, no reason to exist in the show beyond being the source of Belle's infatuation.
Do I care that he got himself involved with a teenage patient? - nope
Do I care that he's being struck off as a doctor because of it? - nope
Do I care that his wife kicked him out? - nope
Do I care that he's hung around because he thinks Belle is pregnant? - nope
This is not an intricately woven storyline bringing numerous characters together - its just a storyline about Belle - and for me, she's not that interesting a character to be the "leading lady" driving the story.
Its not a terrible storyline - its just a bit dull and ridden with soap cliches.”
Hopefully when/If the stuff comes out about Belle faking the pregnancy, Dr. Bailey will leave, I can't see him sticking round as a permanent character.

This whole storyline is really getting on my nerves, don't tell me that now we've got to put up with Belles imaginary 'friend' again for the duration, please somebody lock her up and get rid of Bailey,

How? Even if she menstruated some wome do when pregnant. Some get bigger, sore boobs and some don't. Some vomit and some don't. Do you think he's got a periscope on his willy

The cervix can be easily touched by hand, it's hardly out of reach and any Doctor could certainly tell if she was or wasn't pregnant.

Yeah, heard about that.
I actually like the actor who plays dr bailey, quite nice to look at i think, obviously Acquired taste but I think he's still filming anyway.

I wonder If he'll stick around when Belle's lie inevitably comes out?
