Storylines
Joshua is psychiatrist at the hospital with whom Ben Mitchell has an assessment with as he prepares to donate part of his liver to his father Phil Mitchell. Dr Phipps asks Ben why he wants to go ahead with the transplant and Ben tells him that he wants to do something good for the first time in his life. Phipps suggests that Ben is only going through with the transplant to gain Phil's approval of him and make up for mistakes he made in the past and adds that the transplant would not erase any past events. As Ben is about to leave, Phipps tells him that he is concerned for Ben's welfare if he was to go ahead with the transplant and warns him that the transplant centre would think the same thing.
