Another thing springs to mind is that didn't JY say something about Luc having a long road ahead of him or am I getting mixed up? If that is so then JM may simply be on a break after he filmed his big Christmas episode/s.

He also said Leddi had a long rollercoaster of ups and downs ahead of them....Personally i think his understanding of long time is very different to the rest of the world..

EDIT: My post on the last page says what I think about his exit...I hate it when your post is on the end of the page and you dont know if anyone had seen it!

Yes, JY did say that, this is why I thought Luc was in it for a while yet at least for 3/4 of season 15. This why I am confsued.

If he is going, Holby will probably announce near the end of christmas time. This is such a shame really to close leddi like this so basically we have been conned, there was never going to be a leddi reunion. I am seriously teed off now.

Haha how very true.

If JM loves it there I'm sure he wouldn't leave so soon after SJP sid. If I loved a job that much I would stick at it as long as I could. Those type of jobs don't come by very often.

If this ends up being the case I'll be very teed off too, like I think the majority of us would be.

Alternatively, he could end up being like Mary-Claire, and still technically be there - but he is only around every now and then.

Is rather have that than nothing at all. At least it would allow for opportunity.

I could live with that and that would suit his nature as being a traveller and spending more time on his research which would fit in the Holby series and agree with Bex for a possible return with Eddi, but this is Holby, so I don't believe anything good wth regards to couples having a happy ending.

@hatz, I totally agee, Holby's version of a long time is not the way we see it. If he does leave in february, then Luc only technically stayed for four months after Eddi left which imo isn't long, staying an extra six to nine months is longish imo.

EDIT: In a few weeks time, I sense we will know, although hatz I liked what you said 'its not certain' in your last post (3025)which sounded optimistic.

Tbh, why get rid of excellent characters and have so, so characters like Tara and Chrissie in there for longer ? I just don't get it with Holby producers way of thinking.

This is what I think...

1. They won't kill off eddi offscreen. Can't see what they would gain, surely if they were going to kill her off they would have done a few weeks ago on screen, why waste that opportunity.
2. They don't have any plans for SJP to return but have left it open as she is such a great actor and has proved so popular.
3. JM has not left for good yet but may have agreed long break. As surely if he was leaving for good, they could have had luc and eddi leaving together? Although actually thinking about it, if they had left happily together, would be difficult to think of ideas to bring them back.
4. If I am wrong and this is farewell to both of them then I think the producers are bonkers, given how popular they have been!

Kanga, absolutely agree with you theory, very valid points. The 4th point is spot on, if it was in my power, I would have the Holby producers and writers sectioned according to the mental health act ! This couple's popularity is phenomenal, just look at the overwhelming results on the Holby TV awards, blogs, the youtube videos, this thread, surely they would have taken this into account.
Also, if both leave as in point 4 of Kanga's theory, how the hell are Holby going to bring Luc and Eddi back into the series convincely?
I remember kittykat saying, Holby have messed up a few storylines in the past and got it wrong, I am sure it won't be the last.

This I can understand. Would keep to the characters nature.

I mentioned my thoughts about this here:
You could very much ask the same about Penny & Diane. they were killed offscreen. Diane was killed only months after she left. 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 where there is a bigger effect soley on the person its aimed at, Luc. :sleep: more concentration is on Luc as he is then connection and the storyline is about him, not Eddi

This is so frustrating! So difficult to know whats going on. What I've always wondered is where they can go with Luc in terms of him being in the show regularly. His nature makes him closed off from others and it was only Eddie that he opened up to. I know he has a friendship with Sacha but it wasn't that deep. Also, he's not really one to be involved in hospital politics etc. What would he do?

With regard to a leddie reunion I think if he has left we are more likely to get an off screen reunion and maybe they come back at the same time for something or never do. I don't think they will kill either off, it's really not necessary and hopefully they know this.

Just when I think we've run out of things to talk about...

Maria, you asked if I remembered Eric in ER - I've only seen him in a few episode, only started watching ER full-time in series 8, although I've also seen a few repeats from earlier series. Now ER was a programme that did give some couples happy endings!

With regards to JM and leaving...Maria's already mentioned, JY said about Luc not sticking around for long (I remember thinking that was odd at the time because I couldn't see why Luc would leave if Eddi was there - yeah, should have picked up on that!). Also JM said in his interview that the writers liked the fact that they had this character that could just disappear off. So this could indicate that he just goes off for a month or two. Although, yes, it is getting frustrating the lack of screen time. I'm quite happy for him not to be the main focus but just at least appear in a couple of scenes! I think we will get a clearer indication in a couple of weeks...hopefully. I want him to stick around for a bit longer, especially given how few episodes he seems to be in since Eddi's departure but I'd let that go if it meant we got a happy ending.

@Superdooper, there will always be something to chat about on here! This is the only place I can vent the weird crazy stalker inside me

Hatz, I'm becoming a stalker too! Weird how ALP and TD are bestest mates... No wonder she wants to live in the states. Think I would too
Is a little odd isn't it. Not sure I could imagine my ex being best mates with my brother... but then again I guess is was a mutual split and they'd keep in contact anyway because of their kid.

She is very close to her family which is why the move did shock me a little especially as her sons dad remains in London. Her upper arm tattoo, if you have seen it, is in chinese and means : Younger brother I love you - Peace ALP has a matching one on his arm which means: Older Sister I love you - peace Very close family They must miss her alot.

EDIT: @Kanga Just watching that. He is so sweet I love him! Really look alike and love how he basically suggests him and sjp have double barrel names bceause Potts sounds weird

Oh I have been getting used to the idea Luc will either leave for good or go off for a indefinite period in the new year but I'm not prepared for one or either of them to die either off or on screen, ohhh I hope not... Do I really need to prepare myself

@ Hatz I too am seriously miffed that we get Luc for a short while next episode then nothing for weeks. Best of luck with your travels & planning all the exciting places you will be going to, sounds exciting good on you

Kars, I believe that Luc is a strong enough character to carry on alone in a sense and there is plenty to discover more behind his past and personality and how he reacts in the hospital. He is similar to Hanssen, we can explore his idiosyncrasies and his relationships with a diverse section of his patients which should be interesting. Also, now we will see Luc interact with his friends and colleagues abit more. Before, we didn't see much of that as the leddi storyline was taking precedence in our minds and it was hard to fit in plus the actor's schedules were not synchronised together which didn't help but still the writers could have done a better job at this point in the story.

Anyway, I am resigned to the fact (like Joseph and Jac fans), we will be waiting a long time for a reunion or never even get one in the end. Holby show will bring in new characters to distract us I suppose, but it won't be the same. Now, just bracing myself for Luc's story which may be nearing the end. The least Holby could give us is a 5-6 more episodes blitz of a major Luc storyline.

I'm also bracing myself for Luc's departure and I don't think I will be that upset if he does go, especially if its for the right reasons. The worse part for me was when Eddie left. After that I can cope with anything. I agree that he is a strong character, I just can't imagine him without Eddie.

I rather just know if he is leaving tbh all this is he leaving guessing they make us do. Im slightly worried about watching luc on tues as i feel it will take me a stage backwrds. Im only just coming to terms with no more leddi seeing him on his own may set me back!

Ive got a horrible horrible feeling luc is going but it being left open for a rtn in the future but not any time soon. I dont think we will get happy leddi ever we want & need in my case. Im sad hc is just a depressing couple let down. We dont want chrissie & sasha or tara & ollie we just need a happy leddi!
