Freya Wilson is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Lu Corfield.

[1] Corfield began filming on 18 February 2011,[1] alongside fellow new cast member Simon Rivers who portrayed Kevin Tyler.

[4] Lloyd later told Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy that the introduction of Freya and Kevin had helped to "even things out" and create a "good cross section".

[6] Corfield told Eden Carter Wood of Diva magazine that Freya made a big impact on her arrival and was instantly "pigeon-holed" by her colleagues.

Freya sports a "eternal sloppy student" image complete with "jeans, trainers and baggy jumpers" which ultimately gives the impression that she makes no effort with her appearance.

[2] Corfield told Rachel Mainwaring of the Western Mail that Freya is an exact opposite of her colleague Zara Carmichael (Elisabeth Dermot Walsh).

Corfield told Digital Spy's Kilkelly that she and Rivers went on "a massive journey" together as they played their character's relationship.

Lloyd told Katy Moon of Inside Soap that he believed Freya needed to grow up and have a "mature relationship" with meaning.

While Corfield felt that the pair setting up home was moving too fast, in the long-run it would benefit Freya.

She added that Freya would mess things up "quite wonderfully" which sets the scene of the relationship that will not run smoothly.

[10] Henry later told Kilkelly that she thought Doctors did a "really good job" of making their character's sexuality incidental.

She branded the realism of their lesbian relationship a rare occurrence on television - adding that they made a departure from the stereotypes and dramatisation associated with gay characters.

Kilkelly added that there would be a "shock ending" to the episode which would leave an "agonising" three-week wait to see if they survive.

[16] Alison Slade from TVTimes said that Corfield was a strong contender for the accolade because Freya had been a "breath of fresh air".

They hoped that Doctors would explore Freya's sexuality, noting that it would be the "first time" the series had developed a bisexual character.

[18] Corfield received "a lot" of letters from viewers telling her that Freya is a positive role model.
