Urghhhh…..that was so cheesy, I don't know where to start.

I can't remember that Lexie character at all, but a vicar with a glass jesus stuck in her..come on Holby, even for you...

How come that Syndey keeps popping up? she was the daughter of the old boy who conveniently left Fletch money to get out of debt, then she was working for the agency that provides nurses, now she just so happens to know Greta....she certainly ruffled Donna's feathers with her flirting round Zav.

Shame about Berena but that relationship was too long distance to last if neither of them wanted to move.

QueenofmyPrinces · 19/12/2018 07:45

Well Leah’s character didn’t last long did it? What was the point of her?

And as for that underwear set....judging from the size of Serena’s chest I don’t think that tiny bra would have been much use...

It always surprises me how well Nicky manages to function and how he hides her hangovers so well whenever she goes to wok the morning after one of her all night binges.... Grin

I love Lofty’s grandma!!!!

I loved HH’s tie too. I quite like him being back on the wards instead of in the CEO Office as he seems to be on our screens a lot more these days.

It’s really nice having Mo back and o hope she stays.

PretendLife · 19/12/2018 10:59

Well, if Leah doesn't come back I think the point of her was just to end Berena.

I like having Mo back too, and good of her to clear up the confusion around the black/woman career thing. It's almost as if Holby read the comments here!

Lofty's grandma getting preferential treatment and queue jumping again! Cool grandma routine is getting a bit tired now.

MyOtherProfile · 19/12/2018 11:32

It's almost as if Holby read the comments here!
Telepathically, weeks before they're written Grin

Or actually maybe they just refilmed that little bit and slipped it in after reading our comments. I'd like to think that happens.

ChoccyJules · 19/12/2018 14:57

Irked me a bit that Sacha wanted to hide his depression and the fact he was on pills from his daughter. Would he have hid other illnesses quite as much? The focus should maybe be a bit more on normalising the conversation around it.

MyOtherProfile · 19/12/2018 15:33

That was the point though I think. HH made him rethink and got him to open up to her so the point was made very thoroughly.

Ladymargarethall · 20/12/2018 07:22

Iran's function was to end Berena (😢) and open Serena up to the possibility of new relationships in the future. I just hope it isn't that annoying woman from Obs and Gynae.

Ladymargarethall · 20/12/2018 08:19

Not sure why it changed Leah to Iran.

SleepingStandingUp · 20/12/2018 08:27

Serena and Ric

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 20/12/2018 09:25

Yes, I was thinking that she might have a relationship with Ric or possible HH???? HH definitely needs some love and sooner rather than later.

MyOtherProfile · 20/12/2018 09:39

As much as I want HH to find true lurve I'd rather see Serena and Ric together. I've always thought they had more chemistry than Berena.

SleepingStandingUp · 20/12/2018 10:20

Yeah there's def a spark with Seric, I think she might be too much for poor HH to handle.
He needs someone quiet but firm.

Redcrayonisthebest · 27/12/2018 20:51

Anybody watching the "Christmas special"?
Am actually gobsmacked at how awful it is. Literally the same storylines that have rumbled on for the last year. Please get some new script writers in the new year!!!!

ChoccyJules · 27/12/2018 23:34

Essie telling Henrick what to do, Mo saving the day, Jac not being quite the cow we thought she was, check. Bit of a family moment check.

Most corny bit was HH actually explaining the lights metaphor. In case we hadn’t realised something a little odd was going on after Mo appeared from nowhere, which they mentioned a couple of times in case we’d missed it.

SleepingStandingUp · 27/12/2018 23:44

I'm hoping this is Steven leaving...

They're dealing with Jac and Fletch by them never talking properly again??? Well that's shit.

I was amused by the Xav saying all that to Donna in front of her daughter

Hope we still get to see lots of HH

Ladymargarethall · 28/12/2018 07:43

Essie really does speak above her rank. How does she get away with it?

PretendLife · 28/12/2018 10:17

All that was missing was them all gathering up on the roof and it starting to snow...at least we didn't have to endure Lofty and his gran, I was sure there would be some sort of bedside vigil with her.

Is that Mo finished now? At least her and Mr T are ok. A happy relationship in Holby!

I think they missed a trick with the Fletch family stuff, would have had more impact if Jayden had been is real half brother and more siblings. As usual I was left wondering who was looking after his kids, what with him, Steven and Evie being at the hospital. It did give Jac a chance to make a few bitchy cracks though, no change there.

If Steven gets back with whatever her name was, and her 5 kids he won't be able to babysit Fletch's brood as well I guess? He will have to get the miracle 24/7 365 days a year nanny out of the cupboard again.

SleepingStandingUp · 28/12/2018 11:06

The kids were with Aunty Bex although they were coming over in a taxi

Ladymargarethall · 28/12/2018 11:07

Of course Mo and Mr T are happy. They've left Holby. Her brief return wasn't long enough to catch Holby Relationship Blight.

SleepingStandingUp · 28/12/2018 11:08

I thought when Jac came to the party she was at least gonna bump into Fletch.

PretendLife · 28/12/2018 11:40

Who is Aunty Bex? is she the nanny-with-no-life-of-her-own?

I don't think Jac/Fletch is happening. Someone posted before that the actors know eachother in real life and don't want to do the storyline. You could tell from that kiss that they weren't really into it.

I don't know why everyone is so keen to get them together anyway, it would only end in disaster.

Redcrayonisthebest · 28/12/2018 11:50

Jac/Fletch would be awful... he needs somebody stable who would be happy to eventually be part of his family. That's not Jac is it? I'm voting for Jac and Serena new lesbian couple Grin

PretendLife · 28/12/2018 12:20

There are quite a few new characters coming in the new year so maybe there will be a new love interest for Fletch. Although he isn't much of a catch really with those kids. I don't like the back of his hair either.

I think Fletch could do with a bit of competition now, not sure where they can go with his character. Jac, as I say many times, has been done to death and should finally go.

Holby could do with a good shake up, get some new people in and concentrate on the patients a bit more.

SleepingStandingUp · 28/12/2018 15:48

I just like their interaction and banter!!

Aunty Bex is an occasional oh-shit-"its-unlikely-the-nanny-is-working substitute. I think she's Mom's sister

QueenofmyPrinces · 29/12/2018 00:03

Jac wearing a Santa outfit?! Really?!

Wasn’t particularly impressed with the episode.
