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?

Agree re Louis and Kylie. I love the idea she always has glitter glue and tape in her bag all the time🤣

I think Jeni will offer to help Evie find Andrei.

Fletch wil think she's run away and clueless gf will be oh so supportive.

Andrei will have debts and Evie will have to sleep with someone to help

Jenni will either give her drugs to help and get her hooked before she sleeps with / is raped by clients and she dies / never found / found in a Casualty cross over overdosed

Or girl who was on before will see what's happening and help to rescue her

Or Andrei will realise what's happening and will save her but will die

Sleeping Standing Up any off these seem plausible for Holby.

@SleepingStandingUp - if you could incorporate the Basement of Doom or the Perilous Roof into any of your proposed scenarios, that would clinch it!

Ok so they try to sneak Evie in to treat her via the basement and Fletch chases Jeni up to the rooftop where he threatens her. He says he's sorry and for her to come down from the ledge so they can talk but she steps the wrong way and falls. Unfortunately people only heard the threat and he's arrested for pushing her. Eventually some footage comes out to show he's innocent. Hansen always believed him so took over caring for the kids in his absence

Perfect!!

Was Henrik packing up a box to leave again (with no notice)?

I assumed he still had Kian's box.

I thought Kians box from the way he backed away. I don't think he'd drop Holby in it and then disappear

Dom was actually less of a dick last night!! He didn't have a tantrum about the wedding or the guy rejecting him

The whole bit with him propositioning the locum made me cringe for him, though!

Ah, Kian's box makes much more sense! Thank you for helping me through my confusion!

Yes but it was much more like normal award Dom

Looks like it's on Wednesday this week.

Looks like it's on Wednesday this week.

Wow really? With the England match on then too?

England match is on ITV, I think.

I actually thought this was a jokey post when I first read it! When I last looked both BBC and ITV were both scheduled to show both matches Tuesday and Wednesday. Must have been until they decided who was showing which

Our Sunday paper had Holby listed on both Tuesday and Wednesday with same programme description. The listing on Freeview said Wednesday.

Well I think the writers must be hoping for an early exit. I thought tonight's episode was just a bit rubbish 🙄. So Ang will have an abortion and not tell Josh cos he doesn't want a family or she'll break up with him, yet again. I can't quite work out the Evie, Mandy situation. I'm really not sure its prostitutes though although don't know what else it could be.

Didn't Mumsnet predict an Ange pregnancy? Perhaps the baby will have a disability (older Mum). Then angst as Ange decides whether to terminate or not.
When they went through all the issues with Holby I did wonder why it hadn't already been closed down.

So does this fortell Hansen leaving?

It was so obvious from the first vomit Ange was pregnant.

I think it Def has to be prostitutes. Young pretty girls, he wants a new fresh one, the last one bit him, other one came in hurt before, cultivating the relationship and using Evie as access to other girls. Classic sex trafficking

Seems too obvious but I guess that's to be expected with these writers. Painfully predictable. It will be like the titanic though, I shall cling on until the very end 🤣

Tomorrow: Dom worries when his Mum comes in with a burn on her arm.
Does that mean we are actually going to see Carol?

Yes

He does well to worry. He hasn't bothered with her for months! Poor Carol!
