Holby City continues

New thread for us

Would Carol have loved Dom so deeply if he'd been Barry's for an affair with a 14 year old though?

Carol and Barry are obviously a fair bit older so not only would it be an affair but an affair baby from her paedophile husband

Exactly. So I think that is unlikely. Even more unlikely than the rest of the story I mean.

I think she just knows Barry's name from the adoption. Maybe Barry and Carol were friends of Ange's parents and they arranged a private adoption because they couldn't have children and Ange at 14 was too young to keep the baby I don't think there is anything more sinister. Barry is homophobic but not a rapist/paedophile and if he was surely Ange wouldn't then give him the baby to raise.
I got the impression that Ange was forced to give the baby up, then when she got pregnant again as a student she refused to give the second one up. I wonder if Dom and Ange have the same father though?

What about that Tom guy who had the heart attack? Could he be the father?

Age thing again. They'd be making him into a paedophile, he's way older than her

If she was 14 he would be a Hebephile.

Thanks, I knew there was a more correct word I just couldn't think of it. I don't think they're going to make Barry or Tom into a Hebephile just to give Dom a Dad

I wonder if Dom and Ange have the same father though?

Ewwwwwwww - I hope not; that would be a whole new level of grim even for Holby!

But I'd feel OK about Dom and Chloe having the same father

Sorry! yes, of course I meant Dom and Chloe

STEVEN! Dom is Fletch's half brother? Or, OMG, Fletch is the same sort of age as Ange isn't he? Dom is the first fletchling, could the ironic twist in this storyline be that Fletch has unknowingly spent time with one of his children?

They are all Hansens children and grandchildren. He has created the hospital to keep them close - Stockholm syndrome... eventually they will work it out a la Truman show

That's my theory

I love the idea of Dom as a Fletching.

Not sure if I prefer the Fletch or HH ideas! Please let it be one of those!

Fletch and Ange would recognise each other tho, I know they were only kids bit you don't change that much. Even if the face didn't quite fit the name would be familiar.

Don't be a spoilsport Sleeping standing up. Plots on Holby don't need to be realistic.

Haha can you tell I don't want Dom to be A Fletching!!

Maybe it was a drunken teenage fumble at a party and they didn't know names. Maybe Fletch does sub-consciously remember her and that is why he has been sniffing round her. Maybe Ange blanked out the whole episode as it was so traumatic and will gradually realise that Fletch is her childhood shag that resulted in Dom. It could work. This is Holby..

I don't know why I watch it...I don't watch Casualty

We call it Holby Shitty in our house

Lets face it - literally anything is a possibility.

I’m finding Chloe’s bloke who’s name escapes me (Jamie Mitchell from EE) incredibly creepy - anyone else? I almost have to turn away from the tv when he’s on. I mean he’s obvz a wrong ‘un but there something about him I can’t put my finger on.

We call it Holby Shitty too .

And Casualty = Cashitty.

Ange and Fletch have very different accents, so I think he was on a school trip to Scotland, it was a one night stand, he went back home and forgot all about it.

Yes, Asparagus you could be on to something there. Or she came down on a trip to London.

I'm picturing the 'writers' huddled round a table, pencils flying furiously over paper trying to capture all our sterling ideas. I really hope someone at Holby HQ reads this thread.

"why does Doms Mom keep calling you Angel?"
"it my full name, don't laugh"
"my first time was with a girl called Angel (looks wistful). We were on a scho trip to France and she was with another school, from Ireland I think. I looked much cooler then of course, long hair, leather jacket. Oh, Angel. Didn't have Facebook then though and she never answered my call"
"hang on, what?? How old were you?
" Oh, i was about 14. I know I know, don't judge. She was my age. I wonder where she is now...."
" Oh my God, I have to go.... "

A week later, Fletch collapses. Hisiver is about to go kaput. None of his kids are old enough and Stevens is damaged from alcohol. There's no database match.

"Dom, we need to talk. About Fletch."
"i told you, I don't want to talk to you!"
"you can save him. You might be a match. I think he's your Dad...."

Love it standing.

Or Raf memorial day she'll see a picture Essie has hung up and she'll have a flash back..
