to think that the nurses on Holby City should be working and not emailing all the time.

[HalfMumHalfBiscuit]

They are always emailing, going on dating websites etc. Surely they shouldn't have time to go on the ruddy internet?

However,

1. Maybe they are on wikipedia to find out how to tie a triangular bandage.

and

2. Its not real.

Nobody has noticed either that Jax is already dead.

As for wozzerface- in the lift with the tights on woman- how the feck is she supposed to be Filipina? Her accent lurches around from a bit of Oirish, to Noo York Cidy and back again.....shouldn't she sound a bit Spanish?

I reckon Grace Beauchamp is due another life threatening situation.

And where has the dreadful Louis Fairhead gone? And shouldn't Charlie be retired?

Bucharest Charlie did make an unsuccessful attempt to leave Casualty a while back, but subsequently discovered he has no acting talent so had to come back again again to do his one-expression method acting .....

I love the surreal Christmassy episodes. They always try and do some Dicknensian thing, don't they? Or lots of weirdy dream sequences. Great.

Yes, I know I am sad.

pmsl jamie and butch

I look at the new young doctor character ? Dr balentine/valentine (one handed typing sorry) and think she looks nice and trendy and i then I realise that i am OLD and cannot wear such things/ go to top shop as i have just had a baby.

Jamie - I'm not 1005 sure but I think the wherlchair one died somehow.

.... and got re-incarnated in the new Ford advert

Who's the wheelchair one?

And why do they only do big emergencies (bus crashes/explosions) these days? Not just people bringing themselves in injured?

Is Maria the wheelchair one?
Or the anesthetist Dr Rose who sometimes was in a wheelchair and sometimes looks like he might be about to have a bigger part.
Big accidents are in September in Tellyland.

I caught Doctors for the first time in ages the other week, because a friend had written it. I spent the whole episode going "Who's that? Where's that? Where's Christopher Timothy?"

Sorry for terrible typing.

The wheelchair one was a blonde male doctor who was involved in a crass at an intersection that quite ludicrously ridiculously conincidentally involved three or four of the doctors in their different cars.

This one became paralysed, but carried on GPing, then had an affair with the one with the blue hair and daughter called ludicrously ridiculously interestingly Bracken. I hadn't watched it for a while but think I caught his memorial service.

UD Christopher Timothy ran off with another woman about 4 years ago.

Again typing is crap. Apologies.

Okay this is the full gen on Dr Nick West (he of the wheelchair) from an online forum.

"he was taking his first steps unaided and was talking to his new girlf on his mobile when a young boy came up the pavement playing with his football. The football ended up in the road and Nick stopped the young lad from going out to get it and stepped off the kurb to get the ball, kicked the ball back to the lad and then a lorry hit him and killed him outright. "

Mistletoe Thankyou. The online community needs intrepid investigative types like you.

Bracken ........

at least this has clarified a few important storylines

I felt I needed to know actually

I agree Bracken is

i love holby. only there you can have a heart attack in the morning, have your angiogram ordered in the same sentence as your blood tests, bypass in the afternoon and be arguing with your long lost son in the evening.

personally i find i'm too busy shagging dishy doctors in the linen cupboard fr any e-mailing in work. and they've blocked all the good shopping websites anyway.

They're always treating each other. An making miraculous recoveries.

And the roof! Everyone is always up on the roof! To think, jump off it, argue. I bet you'd never get near the roof in most hosptals.

And do nurses and doctors really go looking for people in toilets, looking under doors begging them to have an operation, stop smoking etc?

(Love Holby though)

They have so very very much one-to-one contact time with their patients, don't they? Maria is always on some bedside vigil with some no-hoper, begging them to have the operation that could save their life but has a 95% chance of killing them.

Bendy - they are only up on the roof in an attempt to emulate that very fine hospital drama - ER

... wouldn't it be great if someone on Holby had their arm chopped off in a freak helicopter accident ....

Bracken is a horses name IMO.

I rarely watch hospital dramas, but I'm enjoying you synopsis(es?).

Strangely, I did see that football/lorry/wheelchair-one interface. God knows why.
