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?

Jeni is at least running a prostitute ring, so drugs are also highly possible

Yes, I think a people trafficking/drug/prostitution set up is being hinted at.

I thought Jenni cut Evie off when she was trying to explain to Fletch where she and Andrei had gone to get money. My suspicion was that she knew the location and didn’t want Evie blabbing about it.

Poor Fletch. He deserves better.

The glucose thing was annoying- low glucose is hypoglycaemia but the subtitles said hyperglycaemia (high glucose) which obv wouldn’t need more glucose. As she was conscious when he diagnosed it oral glucose tablets would have been the best thing to use or a glucose drip- the orange glucagon syringe is only used when the patient is unconscious. steps off soapbox.

LockdownCheeseToastie the subtitles are often unreliable, but you would think their medical advisor would have got the actual treatment right. That was just a vehicle for Kian to have access to an open medicine cupboard.
I hope Dr Han doesn't get in trouble for not locking it.

Yes him running around the hospital looking for glucose was a bit of a clunky way
Would have made more sense that he was looking for it, something falls out, someone pages him urgently and he has to go so Kian offers to tidy up

SleepingStandingUp yes, it seemed ludicrous when he was doing it.

Just caught up with this week's episode today, so fed up of Kian dribbling and whinging his way through the episodes, what a waste of a good looking man!!

The locum that they're waiting for that will save Evie's life..... that has to be Jac, right???

Really???? How did I miss that?

Jac? Oh boy that would be perfect!

Bet Kush is kicking himself for taking the Holby gig now it's winding down.

I assume Kush

@MyOtherProfile girl comes into Keller I think, and called Jeni. She was young, Evie's age.
claimedd her Mom would be there soon etc. Jeni told her to leave the hospital right now. There were bruises on her upper arm. As she swung out of bed she slipped into v high heels. She saw Jeni outside and Jeni was really aggressive, telling her not to come back here ever. It's Def dodgy. So it's conjecture but o rexkon teen prostitute ring run by Jeni

My DD is an ICU nurse - she says that whoever the medical advisers are on Holby are often inaccurate. The times we used to watch it (when it was good) with me gripped by the storylines and her laughing and scoffing at the medical cock-ups, not just the really technical theatre stuff, but drips in the wrong way, machines with impossible readings, tubes not in the right place. She used to say you think they'd get the easy stuff right. Used to put me right off!

Looking forward to Kush arriving - hope he sweeps in soon to save the day! He'll get a few pulses racing!

They said the locum they were waiting for was female. I was thinking more on the lines of Mo Ofanga.

Thanks @SleepingStandingUp I have no idea how I missed that bit. I was probably doing a big yawn!

I absolutely agree about the prostitution ring. I first felt that a few weeks ago when she was creepily watching Evie from a distance.....it was almost like she was eyeing her up in terms of how much money she could make from her.

My ‘shifty’ instincts were triggered then and each episode she says/does something that implies she’s involved I don’t kind of underground illegal activities.

Yes!!! Hasn't Jac run off to Scotland to be near the brat I mean Emma? I love Mo

Altho sometimes the locums just an extra so we shouldn't get excited

True. Or they never actually appear.

And undiagnosed diabetes would mean high blood sugar, so the subtitles were correct but the treatment wasn’t. Medical programmes always seem to get diabetes wrong, eg giving insulin to someone having a hypo (low blood sugar)

According to Digital Spy the BBC have apologised for giving the wrong treatment for diabetes.

Is it just me or was anyone else surprisingly unmoved by last night's episode? I was just so over the whole ridiculous Kian/Andre/Lucky scenario.

I'm sad he's died but I think the ripples from it will be tsunamic.

Fletch pushed him over the edge to an overdose. Jeong gave him access to the drugs. Who is an excellent actor. Lucky basically enabled it. Chloe couldn't save him. Andrei was a cog now without protection.

Dom is such an anal swab. I really thought this was his time to stop having his head stuck so far up his own arse but no, he's using it as collateral to manipulate Jeong. Jesus someone needs to bring him down a leg or too.
Poor Jeong. I like him and Josh and the Scouse nurse.
