I only do watch because dh is still hanging on in there with it. I've def watched it for too long though. I mean really! Chrissie must have seduced the entire hospital three times over by now. She never seems to be more than three feet away from at least two current conquests. What is it with Chrissie and men falling at her feet?Confused And then there's the roof!! Is there a queue to jump off the roof? Most hosiptals or commercial buildings, it would be very difficult to get to the roof. Not on Holby. And people leaving. Off they go in a taxi or a bus. Loads and loads of them. No-one works out their notice. No-one seems even slightly perturbed about the implications financially of just literally walking out of a perfectly good job to go 'travelling'. I think they must really be going to the roof because they suddenly realise how crap it all is. Gah the whole thing is so ridiculous. And everyone collapses in the corridor or the toilets. Please bring back Connie. I liked Connie. I liked Hansson before he went all weird and started keeping a bird in his desk. It's just terrible nowadays. Jac's the only one I like and they've set her up with an unbelievable storyline. No way would she and that nurse chap have got together.

Think there's going to be a 'stop the wedding ' moment resulting in Jac & Jonny.

And who takes a newly home from SCUBU baby on holiday and surely sleeping through would be a bad thing with such a tiny?

Ecclefechan · 22/03/2014 06:53

Mo is a lovely person but does her job just entail waiting around all month looking at the computer and waiting for a transplant patient to arrive? Does she have a "list" and do everyday duties?

Agree about Ric not being allowed to treat his SIL in RL - especially as there was a police investigation going on Hmm

TerrariaMum · 22/03/2014 16:36

Mo sometimes nips down to AAU to have a bit of conflict and give Adele backstory. I actually want more stories about them and Sacha as well.

cuggles · 22/03/2014 16:49

I love it..I wake up every tuesday excited it is Holby night.saddo!! Havent missed one since days of Zubin and Jess and Jeremy Sheffield...love Michael Spence..hope he returns!! really want to see Jac and Jonny together!!

YouveCatToBeKittenMe · 22/03/2014 16:59

I don't like Zosia, she just spends all her time deliberately cross with her dad just for the sake of a story line and as soon as they sort it, he takes a breath in the wrong way and shes cross with him again. FFS just get over it, it's not all his fault

and the way her and weird,kinda creepy, gurnying face guy just moved into Arthurs flat. I wish Arthur would dump their stuff on the doorstep and change the locks.

I like the other characters though. I don't mind scottish guy...where do I know him from though?

TerrariaMum · 22/03/2014 20:15

I miss Malick and Hansen immensely. Agree aboput Zosia.

AreYouBlueOrAreYouBlind · 24/03/2014 16:54

Zosia is the annoying bird from the Secret Escapes advert. I can't get past that.

I love Holby, I know it's absolute shite, but I love it. Grin

I really felt for Jac when she walked into NICU to see Bonnie holding he baby before she'd had the courage to, then they turned it around on her.

The character of Bonnie is so annoying, you're just dying for Jonny to break her heart, wipe the smug look from her face.

[It's not real, it's not real]

AreYouBlueOrAreYouBlind · 24/03/2014 16:55

*then when she became angry they turned it around on her.

So indignant over fictional shite I lost half of my words. Grin

OohOod · 24/03/2014 18:00

Grin yes poor Jac much mistreated.

Amandine29 · 25/03/2014 21:05

I've reluctantly started watching this. Only seen a few episodes but I hate Bonnie already. She is just so annoying! Someone please tell me Jac ends up with the Scottish guy...

OohOod · 25/03/2014 21:11

I'm hoping Jonny loses the plot with Bonnie and stabs her to death screaming 'you're not Emma's mummy' Blush

AreYouBlueOrAreYouBlind · 25/03/2014 21:17

Checking in Wink

I want to punch her when she refers to herself as mum. I know it isn't real, but how insensitive.

The 'drunken' acting was second to none. Totally terrible, but completely compelling. So glad this thread exists and I'm not the only guilty watcher.
I'm a nurse and it makes me howl, if life were like Holby if I fancied a career change I could just stroll onto Maternity and they'd appoint me Head of Midwifery. Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/03/2014 22:01

Oh, the Consultant Locum Pharmacist who just happened to be the wife of the niggly Scottish Dr.

(I actually didn't see that coming, losing my grip there Blush )

But it's like Micheal Spence and Annalise
Serena Campbell Gore and her anesthetist DH

Just happen to mosey on in and gets jobs Hmm

CocktailQueen · 25/03/2014 22:07

I love holby! Love jac - though she is stunningly rude. Think she and jonny will get it together. What the heck was he thinking, proposing to Bonnie? Looner. What's going to happen next week?

OohOod · 25/03/2014 22:08

You don't have to give notice to leave either.

RustyParker · 25/03/2014 22:46

I love Holby - it's my guilty pleasure!

I wanted to smash Bonnie's face in at the "two mummies" comment!Shock Such a poor character and blatently only there to get Jac to realise her true feelings for Jonny. I mean, Bonnie and Jonny apparently go way back, no hint of anything between them, then suddenly they're getting married and she's muscling in on Emma. Oh purlease!

And breathe... Grin

toldmywrath · 26/03/2014 12:22

Have just caught up on this whole thread & I laughed aloud at this comment "StickEmUpSideways Sat 23-Nov-13 13:49:56
Oh I hate digby. He's such a wet lettuce and not in an interesting way"
The other stuff is spot on as well & very amusing.
Unfortunately, I come late to this particular party as I decided last week to stop watching Holby. I count on one hand my faves- Elliot who rarely appears, Jac-I love her one liners & scathing looks, Michael Spence is easy on the eye but I saw him in something else (1001 Arabian nights or something) and he's English!
Hated Channers with a passion, glad she's gone. Diggers does need new specs, they don't fit Iagree.
Bring back Connie!

toldmywrath · 26/03/2014 12:25

Should I bother watching this week's episode-just so I can join in this lovely thread? Do please advise if it's worth it. Smile
My DH never used to miss an episode, but he gave up about 6weeks ago, so I've stuck it out a bit longer but now tend to agree with his decision..sigh

kateandme · 26/03/2014 12:29

love jac.
im worried about where ric will go in the storyline.hes great and needs to be in the show more.

TerrariaMum · 26/03/2014 12:32

toldmywrath, Connie is returning but on Casualty.

Lorelilee · 26/03/2014 14:04

YUP, love Jac - hadn't watched it for a while, but dipped back in last week. The actress who plays Jac brilliant, adds so many dimensions to the character and you can tell what she's thinking with one look.

AreYouBlueOrAreYouBlind · 26/03/2014 17:59

The actress who plays Jac out acts than all in every scene. Heck, even the dripstands out act some of them.

I have a soft spot for Elliot, he's so like a doctor I once worked with I'm suspicious that the character is somehow actually based on him (dramatic life aside). It's the character traits; Lovely, kind, very very clever teddy bear of a man.

Ecclefechan · 26/03/2014 20:34

Michael Spence (Hari Dhillon) is definitely American!

OohOod · 27/03/2014 11:51

He's still Nigel to me Blush

toldmywrath · 27/03/2014 14:39

Ecclefechan I've just googled that & you're right. All these years & I thought his American accent was fake because I'd seen him doing an English one in the Arabian nights! I've always thought he had a well dodgy US accent!
I've got over the NigelfromEE Ood & just think of him as Elliot-which is rather amazing Smile
