New Holby City Thread

[Optimist1]

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

Did everyone realise that his son in Holby is the real life son of the late actor Pete Postlethwaite?

Yes cos it's been mentioned 3 times now

I actually watched the episode again last night on iPlayer. I've never done anything like that before but I just really wanted to see it again.

I preferred it the second time round because I could focus more on the storyline whereas the first time I watched it all I could think is "Who is it, who is it?"

I still think there should have been more deaths though.

Lovely to see a smily HH on Strictly!

Wow what an episode. I really liked Raf but I didn't think him and Essie were very believable. Am I the only one who finds Oliver annoying? Great looking yes but annoying!

Oh and HH and Jac are my absolute favourite characters but I can't get my head around why Hanssen couldn't show his son affection.

but I can't get my head around why Hanssen couldn't show his son affection.

Maybe he had always sensed that his son was an evil psychopath?

Hmm. Maybe or was he like that because his father didn't show him affection. Not that I know anything about psychopaths but I'm thinking you mustn't be right in the head in the first place. I knew there was something 'off' about him right from the beginning. Poor Henrik.

He didn't raise him did he? I suspect he had an emotionally cold childhood himself then just struggled to connect with a son he didn't know. And then Fredsick is so weird

I don't think Hanssen had any contact with his son at all

Did he know he had a son?

I think he found out when Frederik was either getting married or becoming a father himself.

Just caught up they did the ‘Who is it ?’ Quite well

Yes, I thought it was good how we were led to believe it was Jeremy for a while.
I too was surprised to find myself in the 'yum, Frederick' camp when he arrived on Keller

You gotta feel for Dom. Oh no is it Isaac? No its someone ELSE who wants you dead. He really mist have been hoping it was Jeremy

Yes sleepingstandingup I also think he had a cold childhood. I think he is really caring though he just finds it difficult to show it.

Yeah he is paternal to his F1's etc. . he clearly loved Arthur, he looks after Dom. But because he can put a label on it - as Director - I think it frees him up so to speak

I can’t stand Essie as a character but the phone and breakdown scenes were done perfectly by the actress who played her. Poor Raf - but a character who hasn’t had a decent storyline in yonks (I don’t count anything with Essie as a decent storyline!), so I wasn’t surprised that he was killed off. Oli, though - I definitely didn’t see that one coming.

They can't kill Ollie off - the producers must knoe how much of a hit he is with the female viewers...

.....but at the same time, how can he recover from such horrific injuries?

I can't wait for Tuesday's episode!!

How was Sasha the most senior person on site?
Why did Raf not have an obstetrician with the woman?
Why am I taking it seriously?

Why did Raf not have an obstetrician with the woman?

That's easy - because Derwood has left. :o

That's why Sasha was the most senior person - Rik want there, Serena has left, Nina has left, that nasty man who attacked Zosia has died... there are only a dozen staff members after all.

They can't kill Ollie off - the producers must knoe how much of a hit he is with the female viewers

Perhaps they're hoping the new Dr will replace him as the eye candy. Not my cup of tea though.

Me neither, don't get the attraction. Maybe I'm too young haaha

Wasn't Ollie dying when he came back into the series? Saved by an amazing heart implant thingy? That has not been mentioned since.

At the current rate of departures, soon Donna will be the most senior member of staff on site.

Oh my giddy aunt, I've only just caught up with Thursday's episodes and I'm an emotional wreck!!

Ollie can't die! Jac can't die! I can't believe Raf is gone!!

That was absolutely brilliant. But I'm in pieces!

Def think Essie will be pregnant.
Off to have a cuppa to calm down.
