Gemma Wilde is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Holby City, played by actress Ty Glaser.

To help her prepare for the role of Gemma, Glaser visited Whipps Cross University Hospital where she shadowed a surgical team and worked with F1s.

Gemma also had to deal with the revelation of her "raunchy" alter-ego Dr. Honey, who was face of an online problem page.

On 24 October 2012, Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy confirmed actress Ty Glaser had joined the cast of Holby City as new regular doctor Gemma Wilde.

[1] Glaser had already begun filming at the show's studio in Borehamwood and her character made her first screen appearance on 22 January 2013.

[2] To help prepare for the role, Glaser visited Whipps Cross University Hospital with fellow cast member Rob Ostlere and they watched surgery being performed on a man with stomach cancer.

She is tough, fierce, worldly-wise and doesn't suffer fools gladly but she is also a mother to a young son, Finn.

Glaser also loved wearing Gemma's scrubs, which she described as being "so comfortable" and said that was useful while she was filming for long periods of time.

[4] When asked what viewers could look forward to with Gemma, Glaser replied "I think you will see her grow up a bit and have to deal with some pretty tricky situations.

[3] The actress continued, "She was a single mum who could do with a bit of extra cash coming in and she was offered a lot of money to be the face of an online problem page.

Glaser thought that Gemma felt undermined by the whole thing and she was worried that her colleagues would judge her for her past.

[7] Gemma's career was placed in jeopardy when Oliver Valentine (James Anderson) lied about his mistreatment of a patient.

[8] Glaser told Inside Soap's Katy Moon that Gemma had had a bad time and nothing had come easy to her, so she was delighted when Serena Campbell (Catherine Russell) informed her that she would be allowed to progress to the next level of her career.

[8] When asked if there were plans to give Gemma a love interest, Glaser mentioned new character, Harry Tressler (Knight), who was about to be introduced and said he had "a twinkle in his eye".

[12] Jane Simon, writing for the Daily Mirror, noted that Gemma was humiliated about her "saucy past as Dr Honey".
