A further Holby City thread

[Optimist1]

New year, new thread! Looking forward to tonight's episode ...

Aghh Sacha! He's just approached the woman in her hospital bed. Surely that would be cross misconduct/ abuse of his position?

Loved Jac's lecture to Nicki 'don't apologise no-one else is going to put your career first'. Nicki is so many of us, wanting to be seen as nice to the point of being trodden upon.

I totally did not cry at the end of tonight's episode liar

Jac paid Nicky a compliment?!

Gaskill is an utter creep, he needs to tell Jac straight what he's noticed and be upfront about the whole trial fiasco.

Hansen is such a lovely chap when he isn't being so straight laced.

As for Dom and Lofty - awwwwww!!!

I love HH

In terms of Jaq and her writing - she obviously knows herself that something is amiss? If my hand writing suddenly deteriorated like that then I’d know something was wrong - it doesn’t happen for no reason.

Initially I loved the L&D double proposal but then when the camera panned our to show patients clapping their hands out of hospital windows from god knows how many floors high it ruined it. It turned what could have been a really lovely scene into something quite ridiculous.

Oh no poor Jac. She’s obviously in denial. I loves her but looks like it’s the end of the road for her character. That moved me more than Lofty and Dazzle.

What happened with Jac? I think I must have gone to the loo at the wrong moment.

Oh no, off to festival and no time to catch up, is Jac dying or leaving???

I think they’re going to kill her off....

I think she’s up for the chop. Not sure how there is any going back now.

But what did I miss?

GasKill had been 'observing' her during the day, and at the end of the episode was in his cave recording his thoughts on his dictaphone noting that she seems to have some slight loss of manual dexterity and control - he's got a copy of a signature she'd given that day and the one on her pre op notes and the more recent one was quite shaky and not so smooth. He'd also noticed her seemingly have slight hesitation when using the computer (I only saw this when they were doing flashback shots as part of his waffle). He believes that it may be some kind of neuro issue relating to compression somewhere within, potentially caused by the op, and that if it is, it's going to get worse. No other indications of there being anything wrong with her, and she herself says she's fine etc, I guess it's going to be another long drawn out story line......!

Can she shag Fletch in the office supply cupboard with his shirt off first please.
Shirt off isn't for me, it's for a friend haha

Killing off jac! Surely not!

If she is leaving would be far better for her to be offered a superglam job abroad, eg Christina’s exit on Grey’s Anatomy!

I found his last words into his dictaphone about Jac were very chilling...

“I’ll hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”

The way he said it sent shivers down my spine.

I wish they’d give her fiery red hair back to her though!

Her cutting words and aloof attitude just don’t have the same effect now she’s blonde

I'm not really sure what happened tonight, it all seemed a bit 'bitty'..... did feel a bit sorry for HH, and Fletch to a point. Jac made me laugh with her 'no, I'm doing it for me, I need you here' line .... think there may still be a glimmer of hope in the Fletch/Jac story :)

Fletch having to do parenting classes!! about bloody time. Love the way he was so pleased to have sorted childcare for the whole 6 weeks of holidays - not spending any of the school hols with his kids then!
Where were Mikey and the 3rd child while Theo was in hospital?

Why is Essie walking around poking her nose into everything? does she still work at Holby or is anyone allowed to just wander around the wards like Lofty's gran and Fletch's Dad and kids.

Well Fletch couldn't take a couple of weeks off to do family stuff I don't suppose. I mean nobody actually seems to get annual leave on Holby. They probably swapped that bit of their employment contract for the ability to leave at the drop of a hat without giving any notice.

Yes, you could be on to something there!

How old is Fletch supposed to be? he looked about the same age as his father!

Alex Walkinshaw is 43 and Jesse Birdsall is 55. So apparently his Dad was 12 when he had him 🤣🤣

Why is Essie walking around poking her nose into everything? does she still work at Holby or is anyone allowed to just wander around the wards like Lofty's gran and Fletch's Dad and kids.

Yes I thought the same when she wandered into the staff room to make a cup of tea!!

Bold fail

Wasn't there a Holby spoilers thread? I read a spoiler today that really made me
