Chicken Soap for the Soul with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh and Special Guest Jan Pearson (Karen Hollins, Doctors)
On this week’s episode of Chicken Soap for the Soul, we are honoured to be joined by the woman who gave us one of Doctors’ most beloved characters—Karen Hollins. From 2009 to 2023, Jan Pearson made us laugh and cry, and ultimately delivered one of the best soap exits of all time.
With over 1,881 episodes under her belt (we thank you, Jan!), she brought heart, humour, and an unshakable authenticity to the role—earning a British Soap Award for Best On-Screen Partnership with Chris Walker (Rob Hollins).
Elisabeth and Jan dive into the journey from nearly turning down the job to staying for 14 years, the chaos and comedy of remembering lines (or not), and the art of making things work when they absolutely shouldn’t.
They also chat about being a character’s gatekeeper, the perils of surgical gloves, and, of course, what made Chris Walker such a joy to work with.
Be warned: there may be a few tears in this one...
