Jac's back! HOLBY CITY thread (no spoilers, please)

[Optimist1]

New thread for us to discuss all things Holby.

@SleepingStandingUp

Anyone else expecting something to come out about Andrei? Wasn't slimy bastard meant to be helping him? That's how he convinced Evie he was a good guy

Oh, I thought that they just said he was helping Andrei as a means to keep Evie close. You might well be right that there's more to come about him!

I think Andrei was just a means to an end.

Possibly. But if he didn't help him, where is he?

They did resolve his story... I remember him going off in a car to somewhere. As an asylum seeker? He was being protected from the Bad Men although I can't now remember the details 😂

Es but I thought they'd told Evie dirty bastard was helping him, but maybe they did send him off somewhere proper and just lied about his involvement

I think he was involved but it was done properly.

I'm pleased we were all paying attention 😂

I can't find out whether Rich actually did anything or not. I thought he had.

Yes, @SoupDragon, after persuading Evie that she was his girlfriend he then made her sleep with his mates (as that's what proper grown up girlfriends do).

I know that, it's whether he did anything for Andrei I can't find out.

Weirdly empty nicu- where are the nurses?! And why isn’t ange with them as much as possible? Surely the safeguarding team would be straight onto the police and the hospital board? Guessing jeni will swan off into the sunset while they’re all faffing about.

Rich also took photos of Evie with those men, which Jeni has been using as leverage to keep her quiet and get her to bring Mia to the parties.

Yes, which will hopefully help with any prosecution.

My "did he do anything" question was about whether he actually did anything to help Andrei or if it was just a ruse, as suggested by someone else. I think he did help.

Was anyone else waiting for that railing to collapse when Jeni leaned against it after she'd found the door locked at the end of the mysterious building site of doom? And whyyyyy did Evie and Fletch go after her themselves when they realised they could track her, instead of shouting over to one of the 97 police officers in the background?

When they said they couldn't find her I said to DH they obviously haven't checked the basement or roof! I assumed the building site was part of the aftermath of the bomb. I was so surprised no one ended up stabbed with that glass. Not Fletch, Evie or Jeni. But yes to them following her and not shouting for the police! And how did she even get away when two police went in 2 seconds behind her!

Omg the comments off Josh's Mom about "when I heard him cry I was just soaked through". Absolutely the kind of stupid comments I used to hear. But her reaction to the spilt milk - seems unlikely he'd survive!!

I can't believe there was no roof of doom. Was the roof of doom on clasped bit? No more basement of badness cos it went boom

Aww cuddles!!!!! I'm surprised Josh isn't topless though. That made me teary. I'm glad they've found her a room.

TBf to Ange, when my eldest was in NICU we were there 7am til 10pm but I still had to go back to the ward numerous times for painkillers, to eat, discharge meeting etc. Mothers shouldn't feel like they have to sit there in pain and hungry because they're awful if they look after themselves too

I liked that they showed the breastfeeding/expressing struggles.

Josh's mother needs to shut up - 1) going on bout how much milk you had when talking to a struggling mother and 2) no one wants to hear about their partner being breastfed in detail!

Think it speaks volumes that Holby was on over 24 hours ago and no one has posted about it

Meh

That's what I thought. I came on here to post something about it then couldn't think of anything. I can barely remember what happened.

Didn't really understand the scene at the end with Max and Fletch standing on either side of Lucky's bed?

There was a roof (with some emotional doom, I guess you'd call it) scene.

I think Lucky's scans showed that she will be paralysed.

It was a odd episode with some faffing about tying up loose ends but not really starting anything else. The scene with the ex-F1 telling Jaq she'd bullied her and made her quit was odd. They've done that in Casualty before.

What happened to Xav's brother who Donna was having a thing with?

Did he leave to "sort his head out" or something? I have a vague thought that they both decided it was a bad idea and that they both needed to work through their grief. Maybe... 🤔
