HOLBY CITY critics and wannabe scriptwriters, this way please

[Optimist1]

Tonight's was a bit heavy on the snot'n'tears, wasn't it? If anyone can devise a way of Fletch responding quickly and successfully to his treatment and stopping Essie thinking that she should be able to carry on life as normal whilst she's undergoing chemo, please implement your plan ASAP.

Medani's torso was the only redeeming feature of this episode. I've no idea what the pills he bought were - any ideas?

Or Fletch and Dom?

Fletch and Jac ride off into the sunset - Yesss!!! Then they come back and run A&E, getting rid of Charlie et all.

Fletch and Dom! There's a thought. As long as it's nice vulnerable Dom not spiteful vengeful Dom.

Dom would soften because Fletch was the love of his life and he would embrace the Fletchlings as the family he always wanted.

Omg Carol would love all those grandkids

Do we have any other theories on Jeni?

So Dom and Fletch marry then at the wedding Henrik admits to Carol e loves her and he embraces his role as Grandpa to the Fletchings.

Oh yes. Perfect Sleeping standing up 😊

This is all well and lovely and if we were writing this, then it wouldn't be scrapped but up for a Bafta - it would be on every night!! I like the idea of the Fletchings and Carol and Henrik, one big happy family.
But has Fletch ever shown an inkling towards fancying Dom? Then again, Dom's ex (him who was married to thingy, the woman in the Matalan ads - Denise something or other, with the curly hair (him not her...can't remember his name) was gay then straight then gay again. So it might work.

Yes! Keep going everyone - we can save Holby!!!! - we'll submit our ideas and bask in the reflected glory.

As Del Boy would say "This time next year, we'll be millionaires" Luffley jubberly.

I think nice Dom could turn him.

(Scene: in the cafe as Evie watches on)
Dom: Fletch, have you ever thought that the reason is never worked with a woman is because you're looking at the song person?
Fletch: What do you mean?
Dom: Well, you know, maybe it's not a woman you need...
(Eyes lock over the manky milkshake Evie made. Their heads come closer, the milkshake spills onto the floor but D and F are oblivious as their lips meet and Dom slips in a bit of tongue)

(Scene cut to Evie clutching her heart and smiling)

(The Fletchings arrive to meet Evie from work)
Theo: Are you going to be out new Mummy?
Dom: No Theo, I'm DaddyToo

6 weeks later Fletch and Dom have the wedding in the church chapel and the reception in Albie's.

Carol: Can I have this dance?
(Henrik looks at her dressed up and looking beautiful. He takes a gulp)
Henrik: Oh, I couldn't, I don't.... (He splutters)
Carol: come on (takes Henrik by the hand and leads him to the dance floor. She wraps her arms around him)
Carol: I think this might be the best day of my life. Dom happily married and I do love those little rascals who call me Nanny Carol.
Henrik: (pressed his face into Carols hair) mine too.
Carol: oh Henrik, is that your pager in your pocket vibrating? If you need to get it...
Henrik: no Carol, I left it upstairs.

Carol: ooh, I did think it was a bit big!
Henrik: perhaps you can come to the on call room and help me answer it...?
(Carol takes him by the hand and leads the way. Fletch and Dom dance closely and smile as they walk away)

Loving it @SleepingStandingUp
I can see you accepting the Bafta!

That is brilliant sleeping !!!!!

I do think Fletch deserves better than Dom, though...

I don’t remember Dom ever dancing Fletch?!

@SophieB100

I will watch Casualty again if they put Rose Marcel in there as Jac to sort the buggers out! Otherwise, meh.

Oh yes please!! Rosie can have a few months with her family then take over in Casualty just in time for Holby to end. She'll recruit all her friends (people we don't want to lose from Holby) and Casualty will be fabulous.

@ThornAmongstRoses

Danced or dated?

Danced or dated?

I meant fancied

I don’t remember Dom ever fancying Fletch

As Claire Balding said (rough paraphrase) There are plenty of books in the library, I was just looking on the wrong shelf.

He's hidden his list deep because he always goes for emotionally unavailable men. However everything that's happened recently had made him see Fletch in a new light and realise he just wants a nice family man to settle down with.

Who else needs sorting? I thought Donna and Xav's bro was a bit weird. I'm happy to just see her happy on her own with the girls.

Ange can have a surprise pregnancy with Junior Doctor and both be happy about it.

Sacha meets back up with the cleaner lady. The foreign one. I liked her.

Kian needs to get clean. Him and Blondie can go look after poorly kids in Africa.

Nicki Def back for Louis

Ange can have a surprise pregnancy with Junior Doctor and both be happy about it.

I would love this!

All that sounds lovely except Dom doesn't deserve Fletch. Hard to see how else the grandparenting by HH and Carol could happen though

Not sure how Chloe and Dom would take to another half-sibling.

He's got 6 months to change to nice Dom, 2 months to start watching Fletch with lusty eyes, then the coffee shop kiss and wedding on the last episode

I have to ask, what the hell was going on with Chloe and those selfies? Even if she'd been right and he'd fancied her back, why would you send a guy 5 pictures of you pouting at a camera fully dressed??

Ok @SleepingStandingUp I'm prepared to give it a go. But he has to do some serious changing in the next 6 months or I just can't let it happen. must not get overinvested...must not get overinvested

I love Fletch too, I won't let Dom hurt him. If he doesn't change in 5 months we'll kill him off in a really boring way

Chloe is being a bit over the top, isn’t she! Loved the Max-Louis scenes, particularly the quietly powerful explanation Louis gave of the disconnect between how you feel and what you see in the mirror and how that resonated with Max. Kian-Lucky-Andrei stuff was tedious - I would have preferred more of Max’s storyline instead. I get Ange wanting to show Dom that she is there for him, but am I the only one who finds it weird that Chloe, Donna and others are being relatively normal around him knowing what he did to Sacha?
