New Holby City Thread

[Optimist1]

Thought I'd better start a new one since the old one filled up!!

Lofty left shortly after he was involved in shocking a patient in a lift which resulted in a nurse dying as she hadn't got clear before the shock was administered. Crisis of confidence on lofty part made him leave to "find himself" or something. Or go into counselling. Or both

Thank you SoupDragon, dd and I were trying to remember and couldn't - though to be fair to dd, she doesn't watch Casuality.

I hope this isn't the beginning of HH going back to how he used to be

I blinked and missed a couple of minutes. I understand why HH punished J but I missed what the actual punishment was.

He demoted her from head of CT, I watched a clip on the website and Mo gets offered the role next week

Oh thanks.

I liked the proposal, I want Ollie and Zosia to be happy. I didn't like the clumsy Lofty of old , I hope he isn't like this in Holby. Robyn annoys me, always popping by the hospital and leaving Charlotte with Charlie, who I presume is meant to be working?
I like it when they talk about people from Casualty in Holby, even better when they turn up on the ward/ in A&E!

Oh good, someone posting spoilers. Lovely.

I don't watch Casualty so Lofty is new to me - I only know him as Joseph and the ex Mr van Outen! Spent far too much of the time thinking that that haircut isn't working for him.

I was surprised by HH's decisive action but Jac did behave appallingly, and so arrogantly. It was actually quite satisfying to see her called out on it, instead of her getting away with treating Matteo so unprofessionally.

I was just remembering how Lofty used to be in casualty Soupdragon and commenting on Robyn. I don't read any spoilers or know of any upcoming story lines.

O'h sorry, can see now you didn't mean me (blushes).

Ah yes, Soup - lift gets stuck, patient goes into arrest, no doctors on board, Lofty to the rescue. Thanks for reminding me.

I presume the spoiler bit was about me? Sorry, although it's the promo clip for next week which will be played on tele between now and tues

Not everyone watches those though.

Well again sorry

Shameless shallow sleb gossip mode on - I thought jac looked pregnant again! Time to get the big files and desks out...

Really quite baffled as to what she has done wrong.

WTF was Jac wearing?! I agree that they're trying to hide a bump.

Love Lofty :) The nurse in the lift was an agency nurse in Casualty and a single mum who'd been shown taking something to keep her awake (presumably amphetamines of some sort) which would have made her heart more susceptible to the shock, but that never really came out properly in the storyline. She and Lofty had been mooning over each other all episode so it hit him hard.

Am way behind so going to catch up tonight.
Watching the episode where Mo's MIL is in hospital.

Caught up tonight! Wow! Lofty's back then :) .

Yes to noticing Jac's bump you couldn't miss it could you!

Maybe Ollie bought the ring from eBay...It's quite a sparkler too. I really hope those two live happily ever after.

I'm not convinced there is a bump. She wore that loose blouse months ago too and I thought it then but she would be much bigger now. She was in scrubs too this episode.

I'm not sure either, and having read about the actress who plays her, I'm not sure she'd go through pregnancy again that easily.

Be interesting to see how things pan out with lofty, wonder if he and Dom will join forces in some way?

Oh I hope lofty and Dom make friends. Dom needs a mate.

I think that something shown on a trailer should be ok to discuss? thats what they are there for?

who is lofty and what is the background?

I think that if it's not been shown in the episode it is a spoiler.

Hmm I'm with Ariawyn. Once it's in a trailer it's hard to avoid so not really an issue talking about it I don't think.
