Casualty continued...

[morningtoncrescent62]

A sudden flurry of posts following Cal's death has brought us to the end of the last thread. So let's continue as we were - there's so many unanswered questions. Have we seen the last of Gem as she heads back to incarceration? How will Charlie and Duffy cope with Robyn and the baby? Who is next in line to be stabbed? Will the illegal strike continue now that Cal isn't there to lead it? And most of all, will Ethan be reunited with his specs?

Well lily and Ian were being highly inappropriate at a funeral!!!

Lily & Ian - in the hearse... at a funeral

Does up Victorian nightdress & shudders

Poor Ethan, I too got a bit emotional when he was doing his eulogy.

Glad Lily and Ian got together but did it really have to be there?!

Lily and Ian were "being more Cal".

Loved Cal's conquests sitting together in a pew as one.

They reeled Lofty in from the spin off. Why?

Connie and a balloon.

And why is Ethan not wearing his glasses?? I don't get this.

And if anyone else wants to slap dozy Duffy, I'm first in line.

I used to love Duffy back in the day, but she (Lisa Shipton) can't act for toffee; funny how I never noticed that 30 years ago though .

Did you see in the pics of Ethan there was no glasses in some.

I feel I am missing something really important about Ethan sans specs!
Yes to above poster, I chuckled at Lofty holding the coffin well, a loft...

Didn't notice the levitating coffin!

Didn't think too much of this week's, but did laugh as Duffy did an overexagerstrd sob and charlie look sideways symapathiticaly at her. The it was Charlie, of course, swooped in to save the eulogy.

Did we ever discover why Cal and Etan had different surnames? Sure thast was a thing when they first appeared.

Thanks to you lot, I now spend my time watching for Ethan's disappearing glasses.

At approximately 08.50.

I noticed the dissapeering glasses :)

Well this week's was a new low. Personally I'd sack the bloody lot of them apart from Dylan.

Re last week - we also said 'floating coffin'. Anyone who has seen it done for real knows that a coffin is a struggle to lift.

Lofty started in casualty, hence his return.

And.... In a hearse????????

On holiday last year we were staying next door to Dylan - I wished it was Max

Someone please tell me that in real life a woman wouldn't be giving birth without the benefit of at least a screen around her?

And of all the professionals I've met the ones least likely to accept a demotion are the doctors!

I'm also finding Dylan's current issues difficult to accept - if anyone can view a situation in an analytical, emotionless way it's him. So I can't believe Cal's death is weighing so heavily on him.

Not a happy viewer tonight.

Agree with the lack of screen - does seem a bit bizarre.... that was a rather lame story line.

Sam .... hmmm .... not too sure what the bigger picture is there, perhaps some reconciliation between him and Connie is on the cards, though I don't know what's happened to his American lady and baby!

Dylan.... I get the feeling there's a breakdown of some kind on the cards maybe? It is unusual to see him falling apart.

Dylan might be all hard facts and emotionless most of the time but he had that issue a while back about the number 4 so I think he is quite fragile mentally.

Holby City's bizarre employment practices in operation there. In what other hospital trust do senior managers get to resign without giving notice, and then just waltz into an unadvertised registrar's job without actually applying or being interviewed?

I too thought that Sam and Connie might rekindle their relationship but, Grace would run for the hills wouldn't she!

I don't know what's happened to his American lady and baby!

Oh yeah! I forgot about them. Anyone care to remind me how that storyline ended?

And there is pretty much no way that a medical director would resign and then turn up the next day as a registrar (whose vacancy hadn't even been mentioned or advertised)

It's getting silly is't it? But I'll keep watching anyway

I have nothing worthwhile to say about this week's episode, but I reckon Dylan should win quote of the week with "whatever peels your banana." Delivered in pure, dry, deadpan mode.

He's the only thing keeping me watching these days!
