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

[Optimist1]

New thread for us to discuss all things Holby.

The twins / Angie storyline is just ridiculous.

Thanks @SoupDragon - what was the incident though? That's what I missed, and yet I'm sure I watched all the way through!

Yes. Unbelievable and pointless.

We don't know yet, it was in the past. Someone has apparently died because of Ollie messing up, that's all that was said.

It's what made Ollie freeze/mess up in theatre when operating on Retired Consultant's granddaughter but we only found this out during that chat in the car park.

Oh thank you. I thought I'd missed something but I was just being a bit dense 😆

@DontWantTheRivalry

Totally agree.

Pointless, and more than a little bit improbable, given Dominick must be in his 40s.

And speaking of Dom - where is he? And Sasha? I’d rather see them (and other well-established characters like Donna, Jac, Henrik etc) than newcomers like Lucky and Josh. Who gets more opportunities than any other F1 in the history of Holby. Not quite sure why, but it looks an awful lot like favouritism from his running mate.

Still it was nice to see the other F1 doctor again this week. He’s been gone so long I can’t remember his name. He comes across as a lot more knowledgeable than Josh.

I wonder if they will bring back any more old staff members? My votes would be for Joseph (who declares Jac is the love of his life and they finally get together properly) and lovely Elliot. Oh, and the equally lovely Chantelle.

I suppose you missed the fact that there was nothing to miss. Which, to be fair, is very easy to miss 😂😂

I think Ange is in her 40s (she thought the pregnancy was the menopause). She had Dom as a teenager. The ages probably still don't quite add up though, you're right. She must have been very young and Dom must be early 30s for it to work.

Dom is 34, Ange is 48/9

Goodness me, I’d put both of them as quite a bit older!

I thought Ange was ages with me - so late 50s.

Maybe I need new specs?

The actress is only 45 😂

Do mactor is 38. Dodgy recruiting really, there's meant to be 16/17 years difference and there's 7.

There’s one film (I think I learned this on Pointless) where the actor playing Samuel L Jackson’s mother was younger than he was! Films and TV don’t love older women 🤷🏼‍♀️

For some reason I thought Ange was only 14/15 when she had Dom.

It doesn't make a huge amount of difference when adding up the ages and time lines though.

I can’t remember if the possibility of Downs or other chromosomal disorders was mentioned.

But then I can’t stand Ange or Josh and kind of switch off when they are on screen.

Wow, did anyone watch the double Casualty? Gripping and terrifying. What a world we live In. I know its fiction but......😕

They could bring back Luc Hemingway. But not the wooden actress with the savage fringe who he took off with (who was also Ab’s girlfriend in Casualty).

Aibu or were the writers scraping new depths tonight?

@cittigirl I need to watch this - can’t wait to see how deep the new depths can possibly be

There's no realism to it now. It's almost like a make up plotlines by numbers approach? Olly exudes malevolence and can't believe HH didn't probe further.

I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle for the young boy with cancer.

Olly exudes malevolence

Oh dear. I can see it now. He's going to go mad and kill lots of people, isn't he? It's a few months since we had that storyline so it makes sense. And it will be very long and drawn out so that's probably how Holby ends. He'll blow the entire hospital up.

Hey a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde storyline!

You're right - Ange had Dom at 14 and gave him away to be adopted. Not 16.

Sammy’s mum was Sarah the Stalker in EE. I had to google as she looked familiar.

I quite liked Jeong’s speech at the end. He seems quite a sweet character.

How old is Dom now then and how old was Ange when she has Chloe?
