Thanks!
The film is so sweet & very clever! I also loved JMs Mourning Rules. Both awarding winning stuff. Shame JM never got together with ALP and Buster to make something! Never say never!
Have to say im a big fan of short films! I love one of Duncan Pows [Linden Cullens] In fact im a major fan of that one. I'll post a link if anyone is interested...
But yes, Before her move made complete sense to me, but upon discovering the father of her son lives in London, im not a bit confused And her brother, who are obviously very close. Obviously we have no idea of any details and the woman can do what she likes, none of my business..im just a nosy cow as Eddi would say

EDIT: Congrats on 3000 posts my lovelies! Leddi is alive!

Thanks for all your comments about my fic, glad you are enjoying it. Chapter four hopefully tomorrow.

@Hatz thanks for that link that short film was great. Very well edited and acted. Buster does looks very much like and appears to be in personality too by the loos of pics on instagram. That's new about her ex living in London. Puts a spin on our theory of why she moved to America. Surely must have something to do with her current before or contract, or possible simply she decided to immigrate out there because she loves the country. Anyway, with her family and ex over here leaves me more hopeful of an Eddi return.

It's amazing how we gain little bits of information and the analyse it in a big and loads of variating ideas sprout! Haha....I do love this thread.

From what I understand, SJP lived quite a few years in the US from 1999 I believe, so she must be dual citizenship or green cardholder by now, plus if her son is american born, its easier to live ouut there. US immigration laws are one of the toughest out there. However, if you are an actor, the rules are different and slightly easier to work in the US. She was going out with that Palladino actor for a couple of years (he was Dr Malucci in ER, if anyone used to watch ER), I read an old interview with him somewhere, it mentioned his girlfriend is SJP and English actress from Yorkshire. I will try and find the link.

EDIT: Gosh, 3000 posts, no way ! I never thought we had alot to say really. Congratulations everyone for contributing, you girls are amazing.

Her son would have dual citizenship anyway as his dad is American and Mum English. Pretty sure she can live out there as is his guardian as he is a minor and therefore can stay as long as she is with him. But, yes am sure actors can get visas easily anyway..
They moved from LA to London in 2004 when her son was born and now she has moved back. Still find it a bit odd considering he is in London [and recently married an English woman] My parents divorced when I was very young and I know if one of them had moved anyway with me hell would have broke loose ...but hey ho, I dont even know the facts, for all we know she may only be over there for a year or something and her ex probably completely supports her seeing as it appears they're all friends etc

This is not the Palladino interview I read but it has a SJP pic in it. She's been there and done that, the whole Hollywood scene mixing with the top brass celebs.

Ok, found the one I read, you can skim through, there are no pics I am afraid.

I am getting investigative now hatz, haha. I read Andrew Lee Potts interview, they are very close to their parents and he mentioned that their father was not well, and his sister relocated back to the UK in 2009 from the US to be near her parents. That must have been when she was about to film maybe Waterloo road.
Nowadays, travelling across the atlantic these days with non-stop flights is quit easy, so she is probably used to it.

Thanks for the links. Something about that interview makes me not like that Eric guy...


This Seems odd considering she was in Sugar Rush in 2006, then Casualty in 2007/8 then Emmerdale in 2008 all of which are filmed in the UK. Although maybe Casualty and Emmerdale where just little things whilst she was visiting? Which to be honest gives me high hopes for a Holby visit Seems like she moved to LA in 1999, then her and her husband moved to London in 2004. Then she moved to LA in 2006. Then back to London in 2009. Now off to LA in 2012.
Seems like she has moved back and forth her whole life so hears hoping she'll come home one more time

I wish she had a detailed Wikipedia page... Im just too nosy! :sleep:

Correction: It was Mount Pleasant, the films which was nominated for the media awards, just remembered.

I remember him from ER, superdooper, do you? He wasn't my favourite character in ER, he played an cocky, trying to be funny **** which really wasn't funny to the viewer, you know the one with the 'Noo Yawk' swagger/accent. I am celebrity, l love myself. My childhood friend got married and had to go in live in LA. She's been there 20 years now and I used to go and visit her. She cried for four-five years before she got used to it. She was a London girl and missed all the little things here. She said image is big out there. Thats what its like in LA/Hollywood. However, there are lovely places like where SJP lives and my other friend who lives in Marina del Rey /Santa Monica are nice places and you can meet the real locals who are unaffected with the Hollywood syndrome and stay away from it, and they have farmers market and alot of scenic places to visit. There are two or three dimensions to LA.

Yes, LA is amazing and I always believe a place is what you make it However I think where ever you go you'll always miss something about somewhere! Home has that little extra something that no place can give. Have to always remember though, its not going anywhere. Home is always waiting for you to return!

She must be having the time of her life & good on her for going out and enjoying it. I know its selfish of us to just want her back so she will be back in Holby, but I still want her too! Even just for a few closure moments and then she can go again if she pleases! where ever she is i'll still follow her, have been a fan of hers for about 8 years now Maybe I'll bump into her in my LA travels next year! haha! Girl can dream

My prediction (you heard it here first), SJP will be pregnant within 12 months...

Her age (36?) is a kind of now or never age for lots of women as its when fertility levels drop. If she was wanting another child it would be harder to do this being in different countries to her partner for obvious reasons. Maybe they want to give it a good chance/try... And then it's just back home to the UK for a Perfect Leddi happy ending.

Aww, Kanga, we'll be waiting another two years then for a leddi reunion ! It might have dementia by then, haha !

@hatz, thats true, home is where the heart is, whenever anyone goes out to visit my friend, she gives a list of what she wants from the UK, she always asks for sainsburys red label or PG tips teabags, creamcrackers and Kenco coffee !
I have become a fan of SJP's acting, after seeing her in Holby and Kinky Boots and saw a few episodes of Sugar Rush. I would like to see her Waterloo Road. I also think I saw her in a 'Murder she Wrote episode', all remember it was set in Ireland, I think ( my Mum used love that programme). I hope she does more regular acting, like to see her in a period drama too.

Haha, Thats a nice thought Kanga!

I love her in everything! I think thats why I loved Eddi so easily, because I loved sjp whereas alot of people on the main thread were really struggling to like her character.

I look forward to seeing her in shows in the future. I just hope if its an american thing we have a way of knowing about it! Although with the stalker skills in this thread im sure we'll be fine! I do miss her though

Having said that I never thought I'd get over Maddy & Linden leaving. Especially as their ends were so final.

Then there was the lovely Sam and Connie. Of course who could return.

Not forgetting Will Curtis. His death was so sudden and tragic.

Oh! Kyla and Abra Who after a very 'leddi' type of relationship [constant dissapearing] got their happy ending and left together! This does give me hope for Leddi!!

Admittedly Leddi is worse than these for me. I hope there will be someone I love again on AAU. My favourite ward has just fallen apart, they were a nice little family and now its just similar to Keller and Darwin. Might feel different once Luc is back and the CEO story has settled. Cant help but think that Ramona is massively out of place though! :sleep:

hatz,
a quick question, did Maria ( the nurse that left) leave Holby to go with Sam Stachan in America in the end ? Just can't remember and have no energy to trapes through the episodes.

It was a waste with Maddy, Linden Diane and even Penny. I prefer to have a patient death (I don't mean it in a bad way) than a regular character death tbh.
Also, agree, I just can't see the chemistry with Michael and Ramona. I remember when Kittykat saw the intro of Luc and Eddi on the roof, she knew that they had a spark and would be together right away. I didn't see the potential romance at the time but I did sense there was definitely chemistry between the two characters right away.

Just saw the 11th December spoiler



I am seriously teed off, no Luc again !, Umm, something fishy is going on.

No She moved to Tanzania after being offered a job. She rejected the job as Sister at Holby so Donna would get it as she needed it more as she had Mia to look after.

Diane and Pennys death were awful because they wern't onscreen. However when they do a storyline like that is because the story is actually about another character.
Dianes death was about Ric and Pennys death was about Oliver.
This is something I fear they are going to do with Leddi in order to break Lucs shell without Eddi being there.

Eurgh...that roof scene! Yes I saw the connectiong straight away too. Something about them! Makes me sad to think that this was this time last year! I may just start watching last years every Tuesday instead and pretend thats whats happening! At least that would give me a year to prepare for her exit!

EDIT: Why are they releasing so many spoilers?! They only used to put the current weeks and one after. Now we have 1 months worth! No lovely Luc...rubbish. kind of hoping maybe he comes back for this weeks episode and as it says 'he needs his friends' maybe they persuade him to go and see Eddi. Then I'd be happy Either that or something tragic happens like I mentioned above....

Thanks hatz for the info.
Well, I hope they don't go down the death route as it would be such a shame and I feel I would have wasted my invested attachment the couple. I prefer he's left episode. If so, the leddi storyline was never on the cards for a reunion, it was just a ploy to keep us leddi fans from going mad at the time.

What I think Holby are doing at the moment is finishing off Lilah's storyline maybe as she is in it for only 8 episodes, hence her continuum and added Mo's married man storyline. Luc's got to be in the episode on 18th December. Or will we be given a clue in next week's episode, if he is staying or going ?

I can't understand it myself, it is so bizarre, maybe he does have to leave when he hears some tragic news maybe but what about that photo in the psychiatrist/professor's office ? That will be shown in the new year isn't., so he can't have died yet (I really hope not!)

Right now all im thinking is that they are going to kill Eddi offscreen, possible drug OD or death due to withdrawel. Lucs goes off to Leeds for a wee while, funeral etc, comes back but obviously completely blames himself for her death, perhaps this stroyline will mirror something from his past that he still blames himself for and then we see him in therapy sorting himself out. [You dont have the right to take someones life -LWD episode quote]
Realising he is not to blame and then we'll see him all sad but finally free and thanking Eddi for ultimatly saving him "Depends how you define freedom" then leaves most likely for a fresh start. Thats the end ot this tragic love story about saving and fixing each other, which when you think about it is the main theme of theer relationship

OH dear lord I hope this does not happen....despite the fact its actually rather plausible!!

Hatz,
Why do I think you are ominously right ( I don't want you to, for leddi's sake !) but why did SJP say that she would not rule out a return to Holby if they kill her off screen. Why didn't they kill her off in her last scene for dramatic affect then ?
Does this mean she comes in (if she does come back) as a completely new character.
Also, JY interview in August did say it was not in Luc's persona to stay in one place for too long (which sounded ominous at the time) and he will always keep travelling. This gives me the impression that Luc will leave next year. This would be such a tragedy. I feel gutted already and am not looking forward to the next episode in this respect.

EDIT: Another thing which is bugging me why did JY, 'its the end of the leddi story for now' ? If it was Luc's tragic news epsiode next week, then why haven't they mentioned in the next epsiode after that ? If you get my drift. In a state of confusion here trying to decipher the plot but Kittykat said that Holby always do this when one main character is left behind, they leave them out for a good month or two and bring them back with anew storyline.

To be fair that intverview would have been done in the end of July and the writers dont have to inform her if they intend to kill Eddi off. if she had said no at the time, it would have appeared odd too.
This You could very much ask the same about Penny & Diane. Again it makes the death about another character and only affects mainly one other person. If they die onscreen it has to be something thats mentioned throughout the whole hospital and you have to see everyone deal with it, funeral etc. Easier offscreen with a bigger effect soley on the person its aimed at, Luc. :sleep:
I doubt this will happen though! They liked sjp and held on to her for as long as possible and would most likely want her back. "Leddi is over, for now" is still ringing in my ears and I think they want the chance of a reunion very much wide open. Although once again, this could just mean it not over because they are both alive. Leddi can easily end offscreen, just t play the devils advocate

EDIT::: JM tweet

JA (Malick) to JM: Alright cocker say the make up and wardrobe ladies from Holby City.
JM reply: Big Buckets of love to them all!!!

He has so left...or is on a leave of absense..

From that tweet, I can only assume that JM has indeed actually left Holby and Holby will probably announce it near end of xmas time tbh. That is such a shame because Luc was such a strong character in his own right as well and to leave so soon was quite illogical by the Holby writers to go in this direction. I was expecting Luc to stay at least until the summer. I would have preferred that scenario. The writers have messed it up big time, even with Joseph and Jac, the parting was abit bearable as there was a potential hopeful solution.
If and when it happens, I shall complain about it to Holby, I know they won't change their minds or anything but least they will know our grievances.

I am so disappointed with this outcome of storyline really if that is the case. It also makes sense with the way the current storyline is being played out.

Normally I like reading between the lines but all these 'what ifs' and 'has he hasn't he' and 'will she won't she' is driving me up the wall! At times feel like hunting JM and JY and asking them both outright, have you got plans for an Eddi return? And Have you left Holby for good or just go.e on a break to do a bit of other work while they are focusing on other characters? I'm going to play it by ear and see what information comes my way. Don't want to jump to conclusions. I bet HC are laughing at us right now if they do read these threads!

This See im not certain he has left. When he had the 10 weeks off earlier he tweeted about missing people and he only popped in for one visit during that time. But yes, If they are going to annouce it I reckon it will be christmas/new year. We know he last filmed 3 weeks ago, and that would make his exit end Jan/early Feb.

If this is the case and we have now lost Luc too, I do hope its to go and be with Eddi!

I was suspicious a few weeks ago when someone asked if he left Holby and he replied but avoided the question. If you haven't then you'd just say no, right?

I did mention a while back though, that if the 3 months he had off were not part of his 1 year contract [which is very likely] and he decided not to renew then he would finish filming in November for an early feb exit.

Also I was watch the lovely Duncan Pows [Linden] short film and it has this song in it. Its very Leddi!! Just the first two verses I was like.. Its kind of upbeat which is nice too
