New Holby City Thread

[Optimist1]

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

Its very very funny but also there's a whole thing about lupus

I was surprised when Holby got new credits how much they resembled the House ones, which are presumably protected in some way...

So Ric is for the high jump, HH has saved Holby, Frederik continues to be a slime ball and manipulative git (though with any luck heading off back to Sweden), Donna is heading for a breakdown over Ric, Dr Ford is off too and Dom won the Junior Doctor prize.

Busy episode!!

TRAILER ALERT

Just found this - totally baffled, looks like it's going to be a stormer though!

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05nqr61

Fredrik really is a piece of work isn't he? Bad enough that he should try to land Dom in the shit re the steroids but making a move on Mrs Matteo and then deliberately telling about her pregnancy was unforgiveable.

Totally gripping trailer, frazzled - I don't like the look of some of that, but won't elaborate here.

I think aside from all his personality 'quirks' (of the makes my skin crawl type), the thing that really gets me about Frederik is the almost manic look he has, the closing scenes of the episode with HH being a prime example. Between him and Arsaac there's been some rather unpleasant characters about the corridors of Holby....!

Yep, dropping Nina in it re the baby and making a move on her really does sign and seal the 'slime ball' deal.

What was that about with the little white pot passing between HH and F?

F is desperate to get backing for a further phase of clinical trials for some drug he's been working on in Sweden, and pretty much his sole reason for being at Holby was to get HH on board to back it. There were issues around the safety of it, some trial or similar back in Sweden relating to deaths of patients which didn't go so far as to clear him but did say something like insufficient evidence. HH very wary of it all, and not wanting to get involved in something that potentially has 'dodgy' written all over it. F has been trying to push HH to support it whilst playing the ' father/son rebuild relationship' card. HH I think has some regrets over the lack of depth to his relationship with F but is also aware that F is somewhat flakey and untrustworthy (my take on it anyway!)

The trailer is stressy!

Frazzled I guess the tub was a sample? I wondered if he will now try to blackmail HH somehow. Hate what they show of HH in the trailer.

I've had to watch the trailer twice to try and work out what HH was doing! First impression was electrocution, but second time around I was less sure of that. From what I gather these episodes will air in the first week of December.

Wow that looks.... Dark

What on earth would cause a red alert? Then at the end I wondered if those scenes would really be part of the episodes or if they were kind of metaphoric.

I always do my very best to avoid watching trailers.

Oops won't mention it again!

DD and I make a huge fuss shouting LALALALALa and hunting for the remote when they show the "next week...." clips too :o

Haha! Well if you accidentally saw this trailer you'd still have no clue what's going on!

No idea what's going on in that trailer but it looks pretty spectacular.

If you watch live not on autorecord make sure you note down he dates of the extra episodes!!!

Where WAS Ric?
Was it to do with Jac?
Why are all her ops canceled?

Long time lurker and medical expert (all my knowledge gathered via Holby)...

What extra episodes?!

Question - did we actually see the episode when Ric (apparently) let the patient die?

I don’t remember it! It is annoying me!

Just seen trailer for special episodes early December. Looks very dramatic.

No i don't think we did see them.

keepmoving there's some extra episodes first week of December. There is a spoiler for it which doesn't really give a single thing away#

Except for introducing a dishy new cast member z
