Gill Templeton is a character appearing in the episode Dressed to Kill of the ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders.
The owner of the pub, Gill's son, Rocco, has been picked by the local city council to receive funds raised for him to go to Florida for cancer treatment. The Drag Show Extravaganza is to raise funds for Rocco.
She obsessively controls her son, makes him stay in bed and doses him with a mix of drugs. She got him a new phone to control who can call him. Rocco has been seeing Chantelle, who has to climb through the upstairs window to see him. Gill keeps him locked in. After locking her son in, she goes over to Dickie Dent's Physic clinic and makes out with him.
Rocco tries to escape his room by climbing out the window and then collapses on the ground. When an ambulance is called, Gill yells at everyone.
It turns out that the Florida clinic has never heard of Rocco and have not booked him for treatments. Rocco tells police that his illness started a year ago. Symptoms were lethargy, heart beat all over the place, tongue swelled up. Gill told him about the cancer diagnosis. She always spoke to the doctors privately. He was too sick to go to the hospital with her. He never went to have scans or followups. Barnaby says the medication he is on is not for leukemia. In fact it can make his illness worse, along with nuts, chocolate and grapes, which are all on Rocco's nightstand.
Gill finally admits that they were never going to a clinic. They were just going to Florida cause Rocco always wanted to go there. His "Dream must be fulfilled." Gill tells Rocco he has anemia. Gill says Rocco took his dad leaving so badly she wanted to make it better. He was only supposed to be ill for a short time. But then the village voted to fundraise for him. The sicker Rocco got, the more people supported them. Gill was tempted. "A new life, a fresh start. Elsewhere." She says she wasn't trying to hurt Rocco.
Gill is arrested.
