Ed Jordan, portrayed by David Bark-Jones, first appeared on 9 January 2024 and appeared until 29 January 2024.

He is first seen in scenes where Nina arranges a meeting with the head of department to spark an investigation into the pain women are facing under his doctors' care. Nina "gets a blast-from-the-past" as she is unaware that Ed runs it.

Ed invites Nina to dinner, which makes her hold off on sending a formal complaint. He tries to kiss her after dinner, to which she walks off. He soon arrives at the Mill Health Centre when she is seeing patients, trying to talk to her, which she also dismisses.
