WOO ITV have announced about Harley Street now, it's more focussed on Suranne Jones but it does say Kim will be in it...
Suranne Jones to return in new Harley Street drama
Wednesday 30th January
Former Coronation Street actress Suranne Jones and ex-EastEnder Paul Nicholls are currently filming new medical drama Harley Street for ITV1, it has been announced.
Also featuring Shaun Parkes, who stars in the BBC's upcoming crime drama Kiss Of Death, the six-part series is set in London's famous medical district, in a new ultra-chic practice.
The private practice is run by three partners, general medical practitioners Martha (Suranne) and Robert (Paul) and lifestyle surgeon Ekkow (Shaun).
Created by Marston Bloom, who also writes the first two episodes, Harley Street features a world in which doctors are with their patients every step of the medical journey.
It also focuses complex personal relationships of the doctors who are continually forced to make life and death decisions, whilst also maintaining some sort of personal life.
Director of drama commissioning for ITV, Laura Mackie, said: "Harley Street is both aspirational and thought-provoking. It will offer viewers, who traditionally enjoy this genre, a different approach to health care storytelling, whilst retaining the life and death situations which make medical drama so popular."
The series also features former EastEnders actress Kim Medcalf as practice manager and a number of guest stares including James Fox, Isabella Calthorpe, Will Mellor and Leslie Phillips.

A brand new medical drama is coming to ITV1. Harley Street, set in an ultra-chic practice in the heart of London’s famous medical district, will star Suranne Jones, Paul Nicholls and Shaun Parkes. You’ll have to wait a little while though – production on the six-part series has only just begun.
With an ethos of providing first-rate health care, the private practice is run by three partners - general medical practitioners Martha (Jones) and Robert (Nicholls) and “lifestyle surgeon” Ekkow (Parkes).
Each is dynamic, proactive and passionate about delivering the best standards of care, round the clock.
Created by Marston Bloom, Harley Street features a world in which doctors are with their patients every step of the medical journey - from lifestyle surgery to unusual and often life-threatening medical cases.
It focuses on the complex relationships between the doctors, and how they juggle their work and home life.
Martha has grown up the daughter of a Harley Street practitioner, and although she’s a top-flight doctor in her own right, her background brings a touch of class to the practice.
Robert is a working class lad who has spent seven years devoted to his NHS training and, despite the flash car and sexy suits, he repays the system that trained him by working night shifts in a busy hospital A&E.
Ekkow also has the looks and the sharp suits. With a background in reconstructive plastic surgery, Ekkow is highly trained and a skilled cosmetic surgeon who knows how to make his patients feel good.
Special guest actors will also feature throughout the series including James Fox (Dr. Harvey Cost), Isabella Calthorpe (Miranda Cost), Will Mellor (Joe Lacey) and Leslie Phillips (Dudley Grainger).
