Holby City...

[coolaschmoola]

Is it just me or is Morven THE most annoying character ever?!

Drugged Up Man said he'd taken stuff to keep him alert.

Yeah but the wife was real, they broke up, he had nothing left in his life so was the sob imaginary or dead? We have a right know lol

I think the son is alive. Didn't Fletch recognise him as a School Dad? I don't recal the son being mentioned as dead at all. I think all his memories about the bike accident were hallucinations or subsequent drug induced dreams as he was in the hospital bed.

Ah yeah you're right I forgot that

I think Nurse Sydney has left for good / well at least until Holby bosses decide to bring her back.

I find it interesting how we remember different things about an episode :)

I don't think Sydney is gone for good at all. She'll get a permanent position, with no interview, and her and fletch will shack up together. Otherwise I feel her appearance is completely pointless given how quickly the dispute over the will was cleared up.

I'm with SoupDragon, they are going to get together. Or maybe the doctor that Fletch was living with? I want a happy ending for Fletch though.

I think they'll get together too.

Have fallen behind, again!

Not a good story line for Sacha tonight, which is a shame as I think they did really well with the abusive story line recently.

Did the Sacha storyline come a bit out of nowhere or have I missed something?
Bit disjointed tonight I felt
Glad to see Ric though, such an elegant man, all the hints of a wild past keep coming up too- interesting character.

Agree it felt a bit disjointed - seemed to be a bit of an episode giving time to characters who've not been 'seen' much lately. Hope it picks up the pace a bit again next week!

It did seem as though a chunk was somehow missing didn't it? Sacha had liposuction because he is so down about his middle aged spread and it wasn't good when the wound got infected so I'm not surprised he has depression :( Poor love; I really love his character.

I was shouting a lot at the TV when I watched it last night

1. How do you diagnose depression and stage an intervention in the space of one shift? Some of the build-up to that must have been cut from previous weeks, Sacha just seemed grumpy to me....
2. How entitled was Ric's grand-daughter?! I know she has an unhappy home life, but you don't just turn up to your relative's workplace and expect them to be able to spend 'quality time' with you! And then go all sarky and cocky when they point this out! It's making me cross just recalling it!

I did like Team Jac-Matteo, I like that they professionally respect each other, I think she may have finally met her match...

I was shouting at the so called intervention too - why go to the public cafe to do it????

Still not up to date.
Just reading comments about Sacha storyline, not the first time that a storyline with him has been disjointed.
I'm thinking of time he had liposuction - story out of nowhere...and never referred to again, afaik.

And one where a patient was offended by something he said and refused to allow him to carry out her surgery, but it was completely unclear to viewers what it was he had said that caused such offence.

Sasha storylines are always intensely irritating. I love him when he's just being a normal consultant without any ridiculous drama and not the main storyline. As soon as the story is all about him the plot is more ludicrous than usual and he irritates the bejesus out of me.

Did anyone else think that this week's episode was at a very odd pace - jumping very suddenly from short scene to the next short scene? I was feeling quite dizzy towards the end!

Didn't notice that, but now you mention it...!
I don't get that one of their very own was murdered over in the Ed just a few days ago and nobody mentioned it!

Sacha seems well today .

Spending time with Essie seems to cure all ills, Solo - clinical depression, grumpy rebellious teenagers .. she should pop down to the morgue to work her magic on Cal.

Optimist1 you made me snort! Yes, I'm sure she could raise him from his eternal slumber.

Yes, that depression lifted quickly...

Why do threads randomly fall off my "Threads I'm on" list?

And where's Dom and why does no-one mention him?

I don't think his depression has lifted. He seems the same as always (pre-depression and before we knew about it!). I think he puts on a good show for others. It is an odd storyline though, completely out of nowhere.

They're obviously setting him up for a rekindled romance with Rae; that would be good and possibly stop Essie fussing around him like a mother hen.
