Oh I see. We may never know I guess.

@PiggeryPorcombe

Thank you!

She told Fletch she'd asked the same of Sacha but if he couldn't manage...
So I took it that she'd asked Sacha to have Emma and Fletch to be back up. Given SS would be involved not sure that would stick but also wonder if she just meant because she can't rely on useless Johnny as he isn't in the country when she has yet another close call with death.

Yes I think it means the beoconduit can stay, thry debriefed the scar tissue so she should be fine. As long as the MPTP has no side effects... Given who is coming back, what could they be...

ButtonMoonLoon · 16/11/2018 12:50

I think she asked Sacha to make sure all of the implant was removed- and for Fletch to be backup for that in case for any reason he couldn't

Can't wait for next week!

HalleLouja · 16/11/2018 13:44

Jac definitely wanted Sacha to look after Emma.

QuilliamCakespeare · 16/11/2018 17:20

I didn't understand the bit about Jac's operation being unnecessary - can anyone explain?

SoupDragon · 16/11/2018 17:24

It was "unnecessary" because the neoconduit thing wasn't the same as Josh's and she didn't have the growths. However, it wasn't actually unnecessary as they found there was scar tissue causing a problem.

QuilliamCakespeare · 16/11/2018 17:25

Ah, thanks @SoupDragon - that's the bit that confused me; Hanson saying 'Jac was right' during the op and them removing scar tissue.

SoupDragon · 16/11/2018 17:29

Yes, she always said it felt wrong and Gaskill disagreed that there was a problem

PretendLife · 17/11/2018 10:30

Well I hope she did mean Sacha to look after Emma, he would be a much better bet than Fletch. Although in real life Johnny would come back for her in the circumstances wouldn't he. He was a good father to Emma for ages in the beginning because Jac had no interest in her. I hope Holby don't think they can get away with re-writing history on that one.

In any case it will be the mythical nanny that will look after her, same as Fletch's kids. The nannies that never need to take time off and are always available at any time of the day or night.

Surely the lake would have to be searched for Gaskill's body and then we will know whether he really drowned or not? Of course it is Holby so they will probably just move on without mentioning it again.

Looks like Mo and Selfie are coming in to save Jac from yet another near death experience. A heart transplant and brain surgery. She can self-cert for a week off after that.

There are some new characters coming in the new year as well. I wonder if they will finally get rid of some of the old characters that have exhausted story lines.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/11/2018 16:30

Tbf 🧠 and ♥ issues after GasKill poisoned her makes sense at least!
Yeah Johnny had her last time didn't he. I just see in her the kind of cliche bitter ex. Even when he's doing a good job it is never quite enough because it's never what suits her or if it does it suited her too easily

tempname111 · 17/11/2018 21:33

"She can self cert for a week after that"

Arf 😂😂

ChoccyJules · 20/11/2018 21:26

Oh blimey, that was better than I expected in terms of endings and just about daft enough in terms of operations and relationships....

Ladymargarethall · 20/11/2018 21:49

I thought it was very disappointing after the drama of last week. It seemed very disjointed.

Optimist1 · 20/11/2018 22:01

Lovely to have Mo back, amid all the angst.

Well!!! So, Gaskill's really dead. Jac's really alive. Mo's really back. And Selfish is really...!

Must say though that I truly loathed Gaskill in a way that I've never loathed a TV character before. He played the part very well old McGann.

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 20/11/2018 23:33

Have we found out the significance of the branding yet?

MyOtherProfile · 21/11/2018 05:47

I liked that episode. Nice to have some happy things for once. Although I was a bit worried when Fletch mentioned Mr T to Mo... was there a bit of a feeling that all may not be well on that front? They can't split up Mo and Mr T.
And I'm a bit worried for HH. He seems so alone now. All his friends from the past are gone, his son is gone. Can't he have a bit of happiness too?
Great to have Mo and even Self, and good to see GasKill definitely gone.

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 21/11/2018 06:31

HH was doing the OCD thing again - lining up some pipettes in the lab (when talking to Essie?). Sure sign he's on a 'downer' I would have thought...

Handbaghag · 21/11/2018 07:00

Ah but is Gaskill really dead? There's more than one Mcgann... Could be Gaskill's long lost brother.... Or Gaskill's clone 😂🤣. I reckon Lana will be his daughter. Plus.. Wasn't it lucky that they still had a bit of Roxahhrrrna's blood kicking about after the post mortem to re test!

SleepingStandingUp · 21/11/2018 10:35

You're honestly telling me thry couldn't get cleaning crew down to clean the blood from the lab? Surely it's a biological hazard!! Just get someone to bin the bedding and clean the table ffs

SleepingStandingUp · 21/11/2018 10:35

Essie and H H sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G

PretendLife · 21/11/2018 10:48

Yeah I thought that about the state of the blood in the lab.

This Jac stuff, I mean how many surgeries on her back now? 3 is it? plus her heart and her brain and she still wakes up. Apparently now she will be pain free and not paralysed. So it seems Gaskills conduit wasn't the only treatment for her back then, as Selfies has worked. It seems very unlikely to me that someone would survive all the things she has.

I hope Selfie stays and it wasn't just a one off.

SleepingStandingUp · 21/11/2018 11:06

So it seems Gaskills conduit wasn't the only treatment for her back then, as Selfies has worked
No, his conduit was needed. It acted as a bridge and whilst it was there the stem cells he inserted did their job and repaired the back. Selfie merely melted the holder

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 21/11/2018 11:50

I was fully expecting HH to have ID'd someone else's body...

I think Lana must have been Gaskill's daughter (which explains why her surname wasn't ever used).

Do you think we will be building to a warm and cosy Christmas Holby City or more angst?
