Emma Cunningham used to have "long flowing locks". The change of
hairstyle to her present short, boyish style is a result of her role as
Dr Gail Benson in "Medics". The production department thought that,
particularly in back-of-head shots, she and co-star Teddie Thompson (Dr
Alison Makin) looked too much alike. She was initially reluctant to
part with her "greatest asset" but has since come to prefer her hair
that way.
