How good am I at predicting this stuff?! Only thing slightly wrong was Mo being in the cafe and spying Chrissie.

Question about that... Was Mo actually working or not? She was there in scrubs but we didn't see her at all on Darwin. Serena even made it sound like Ollie was the senior doctor on that night, so why was she even at the hospital at all?!

Yes I didn't really get that either - and isn't it amazing how there wasn't NOBODY else around when Ollie had his hissy fit and left Gemma to cope on her own (and what happened about that anyway??) I've never seen Darwin so empty!!

Yeah indeed... Mo was a little bit misplaced during the whole episode.

Bad grammar alert - sorry folks!!

Then again it was night shift, so less staff, which in itself makes Mo's hanging around in the cafe and the garden even more weird. What was she doing there in the middle of the night?

Although (after re-watching episode this afternoon) am surprised by how many staff there actually seemed to be on Darwin (just obviously not available at the crucial time). I'm sure I counted at least three possibly four other nurses on shift apart from Jonny (which, although it might not seem like it, is, believe me, a lot for a hospital ward at night!!!) Obviously the 'efficiency savings' (because they're not cuts as "the NHS budget is protected") haven't affected Holby staffing levels yet. Either that, or Hanssen is using the money his father's company gave the hospital (did we ever find out what happened about that??) to pay for a few nurse's salaries


And as for what Mo was doing, I haven't a clue. She and Sacha (who presumably wasn't working) even seemed to be in Albie's at one point!!! My best guess - she was getting in some practice for 'pregnancy watch' with Jac??

They are probably filming the end of season about now (usually middle of October) so I'd imagine that they will ramp up all trauma as much as possible.

Re Chrissie and Sacha, they won't actually be able to start divorce proceedings until after a full year of marriage (mid October) and then they have to have full 2 years of separation unless one is willing to submit to being the 'villlain' ie adultery. Leaving the top off the toothpaste and being moody is no longer considered grounds for unreasonable behaviour or irreconcilable differences (the no fault divorce for several decades) now as they are tightening it up so that could be cause for arguments if nothing else.

Not sure if I should be concerned about this (Bs.I.B.) - I do hope not!!!

Though I don't really understand why the end of the series is such a big deal anymore. I can see the point of ending on a huge trauma/cliff-hanger but as Holby is on every week I can't really see the point. I'm not sure I even twigged to the fact that there were separate series when it started to be on weekly. Although know that obviously the PTB don't share this sentiment - wasn't last years 'final' episode 'When Sacha Met Chrissie'? Which had one of my favourite ever scenes in it?

With regard to Mo and the lovely Mr T. I always get the impression that he is much keener on her than she is on him. Really think to Mo it is just harmless (and as you say slightly awkward) flirting but seems to mean more to him. Also, can't get rid of the idea that they're setting Mo and Sacha up to be a couple at some point (probably not for a wee while though..)

Oh he is definitely keener on Mo than she is on him. I'd say she was insane because Ben Hull is beautiful (certainly more so than Albie but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and Mr T seems like an absolute sweetie but perhaps a little too timid for a woman like Mo? Plus, a lot of women have an issue with Obs and Gynae doctors as dates full stop because of what they are looking at and sticking their hands all day - having one that has seen all your bits in a clinical way wanting to get sexual with you? I can understand why it might creep Mo out......

I know what you mean about the end of season being meaningless when it continues to the next week but the Production team see it as a marker I think, something to build climaxes towards and often there is a change of backscreen personnel at that point. So, last year ended with When Sacha met Chissie, the year before was the climax of the Plastics versus CT for Darwin war and Sunils death, the year before that was Linden's death and the last episode before Hansenn arrived along with HD and the whole vibe of the show changed (for the better in my opinion) so....

I'd rather there were traumas during the pregnancy and she gets a happy ending in a healthy baby than a quiet time now and the prospect of the baby dying near to or soon after birth.

Oh by the way, watched the penultimate episode of season 11 the other day, when Chrissie miscarried Ollie's baby. That was early October 2009. Daniel was born 13 April 2010 - it just doesn't make sense at all and he definitely was born then - aside from it being the episode before Jac's transplant which we were told was 20th April, it was on his notes 2 weeks ago.

I fully agree what you have said about the "series finale". It would definitely make more sense if there was a definite gap (for example 4-6 weeks at the very least) between two separate series.

What colour scrubs does he usually wear?? Although if he's in scrubs then presumably that means he's operating because he's normally in shirt and tie when he's just on the ward for consults/visiting etc.

And kitkat definitely agree about preferring any trauma to happen before rather than after the birth (although obviously would prefer no trauma at all - the occasional hiccup would be fine but I don't suppose they'll let us get away with just that!!) as long as said pre-natal trauma doesn't make the chances of Jac having a healthy baby at the end of it more remote.

And I suppose Tina's real-life pregnancy rather stymied them with regard to Daniel (another one of those occasions when Holby time runs slightly different to real time).
Although have to admit with most soap pregnancies (which last for the right amount of time) I do normally think that they've been going on forever and it must be time for them to give birth now when they're actually only about 6 months in. Which is weird because that's not something that happens to me in real life...

I do remember more than 10 years ago in Casualty with Duffy's last pregnancy. She allegedly gave birth prematurely, yet when she probably was around 11 months pregnant.

Wow - that's weird!!! I wonder what that was about?? Did Lisa Duffin get pregnant in real-life whilst the storyline was on-going??
Maybe it's not always me wishing fictional character's pregnancies away then!!

Cathy Shipton was indeed pregnant in real life at the time. It was at the end of series 15 of Casualty (this was the time when there were months between series with Casualty) where it was said that Duffy was two weeks away from giving birth. Then she ends up giving birth, before her due date, in the first episode of series 16. Either what I said before or the time difference between the two series was a few days, which was not supported by anything else that happened in the first episode of series 16.

But time has always been a bit flexible in Holby. After all Charlie Fairhead managed to age only 10 years in 11 years (his 40th birthday was in 1994 and 50th in 2005).

(Enough of off-topic.)

Maybe - I know that was the reason for jill in Crossroads 11 month pregnancy back in the 70s.

Of course, it always seems worse when there is a season break but the plot carries on the next day (which might also have been the case with Duffy). Mary-Beth Lacey's pregnancy seemed to go on for aeons for that reason.

Tina Hobley is leaving HC in case you haven't seen.
