Award winning series The Clinic returns for 2007 with another year full of surprises and challenges for the practitioners in Dublin’s Clarence Street Clinic.  When we last saw Dan he was being wheeled into the operating theatre for a harrowing operation while an emotional Cathy watched on helplessly.  Now Dan is back with a second chance but his life is thrown into turmoil when he discovers Cathy is pregnant.

It’s a tumultuous start for the couple but they finally come together as one and looking forward to their future in the Clinic.  However, their happiness is marred by the arrival of an old friend of Cathy and Ed’s who has bought half of the building from under them.

Dr. Lorcan O’Brien shakes up the Clinic by introducing a night Methodone program that brings him into conflict with the other partners, especially Dan.  But despite appearances, Lorcan is hiding a devastating secret of his own that threatens to bring him undone.

Keelin returns from New York as a married woman but struggles with finding a balance between her work and personal life while Cara causes tension at the front desk with her ambitious drive that threatens her relationship with Aine who is trying to juggle the demands of being a working mother.

Julia and Cathy are now monitoring Clodagh’s every step after her potentially life-threatening diagnosis and this causes tension for Clodagh.  However, the experience forces Clodagh to evaluate her priorities as a Doctor.

Blackmail, betrayal and confessions lead to a sensational finale that will promise dramatic new changes to the Clinic.
