No the best soap exit is when they leave in the back of a Taxi with Julias Theme played

I really hated Zosia until her outburst at Jac and that last moment. She is so incredibly vulnerable. I was in tears, very well done. I .over the nod to others too: Tara whose death was also good TV and Dominic ano Arthur in the cubby hole like the Valentines used to be too. It was a very well done episode, subtle at times.

Same here, that scene was so very well done. Jac waiting for her to break and when she did just reached out and hugged her without saying a word. Then watching her father walk away because it was the right thing to do. So many conflicting emotions beautifully acted without any dialogue.

Congratulations to all involved.

Amazing episode, I haven't cried like that over a TV show for a long time. Beautifully done, well done Holby.

Fantastic bit of tv.

Holby won't be the same without Digby.

And the dancing was great too, in a cheesy sort of way.

Compelled to pop in and say that was very well done, and very sad.

Will miss Arthur.

Such a long time since I've posted on here although I've been watching and have kept up with reading all the comments.

I thought that was a beautiful send off for Digby. There were lots of lovely little touches and the performances were all so genuine. I have not generally been a fan of Morven but she was much more tolerable for me than she has sometimes been.

It was so nice to have the appearances by Malick and Chantelle, it added something special. I also loved having the lighter moment of the dance routine - I was just waiting to see if Hanssen joined in and then he did and I had a massive grin on my face

I feel like the writers really understood the way in which the audience have responded to Digby and his last episode reflected that. Yes, he died and it was incredibly sad but they gave us that bittersweet end with his realisation that he was more free than he'd ever been. I found that conversation between himself and Hanssen very moving and I thought the whole cast, but of course Rob in particularly, did an amazing job.

I also really appreciated just having silence over the end credits - a real rarity these days but felt so right.

Arthur has always been a favourite of mine and it feels like I've said goodbye to a friend in a way. I will miss his character but I hope Rob goes on to some amazing new things.

Because Jac does have a heart and is comforting Zosia

Well acted out, brilliant episode.

Poor Arthur, does anyone know why he's left?
