Yes, me as well.

Of course we're supposed to think that Oliver is being horrible and mean for pointing out that she should just do her job and it is illegal to look at Patient's notes and use information found there. But she "just wants to hold onto someone she loves" so that's okay then.
She'd be out of the door IMMEDIATELY! Unauthorised retrieval from PAS? That's Computer Misuse Act, Data Protection Act and Health Records Act... and would she have that level of access as an HCA?

Agreed,

She is so annoying, always sticking her nose into anybody/everything that is none of her business.

Then she uses [or tries to] emotional blackmail & patronises those who are far more intelligent than her.

For a few glorious minutes there I thought that Ollie was going to be the voice of reason on Darwin and put Adele firmly in her place. Alas, it did not last long until he too was "Adelified".

As for Jesse - what a waste of a character that once had such potential. He is just a big wuss, there to tell Adele how great she is , and to stop anyone who dares to criticise her for doing everything but the job she is being PAID to do.

I loved Raf hero-worshipping Hanssen, and the knitwear photo was just hilarious. Digby still hasn't found his feet on AAU though imo. He is wasted as a side-kick to the imbecilic Fletch.

Zosia is headed for trouble regarding Annabelle, I fear. I really like Annabelle but I think that brain tumour is going to get the better of her.

Mo and her father I find a bit blah although I like him.

Adele is utterly loathsome. I hope a hideous and painful fate awaits her, perhaps being trapped in a lift with Mrs Tembe from Doctors for a couple of hours before it crashes to
the ground.

Ouch. No love on here for St Adele of the Trillion Skills, is there? I used to like the dynamic between Adele and Mo at the beginning, but why does she have to be right all the time, even when she's wrong?

On a positive note, I'd actually forgotten how good Guy Henry is. His acting is so subtle sometimes you have to watch a Hanssen scene twice just to get the full benefit.

Adele is just infuriating, it's a shame the idea of Fake Doctor Oliver reporting someone is inherently ridiculous, but hopefully he can get her to actually do her job rather than sorting out everyone's lives.

Henrik continuing to put Guy in his place is fun but has anyone checked Zosia's medication lately? She seems to be heading back into old habits, holing herself away and carrying out private experiments while being scarily intense.

Fletch is one of the most annoying characters ever. I'm not sure what's worse, his childish pranks or his inconsistent angst.

Just caught up. What a difference a couple of characters make! Loving the show so much at the moment. It was nice to see Ollie have a reaction to those young people being twins.

Have they retconned it into saying Ollie and poenny were twins because they weren't. It was specifically stated at least once that Penny was older than Oliver although to be fair the age gap can't have been much due to them sitting their exams at the same time for him to swap them. Though, that didn't really make sense because if Penny had to repeat a year and Ollie didn't, how come they started work as F1s at the same time?

Wow, it seems like they are admitting they made a lot of mistakes in the summer / Autumn 2013 and just getting back as many of those cast members as possible.

Won't quote them all as it'd take ages but I agree with all the posts about bloody Adele. It was disappointing Ollie backed down but at least he spent most of the episode trying to keep her in check.

Hanssen's tragic knitwear was so funny. It's weird, it's only a jumper, probably wouldn't be a big deal with most characters but it was hilarious.

Another bloody dog! Do the writers seriously expect us to believe dogs would be running round a hospital every five minutes?

I'm confused. Is Lauren Drummond coming back? Also Jimmy Akingbola??

It would be great to see Chantelle back. I assume if Malik returned he would be in a teaching/admin role??

When 'that' slide popped up during the presentation, I couldn't stop laughing for ages, but was it just me or did he stifle a smile (or was it a look of pride or even embarrassment)?

What i want to know is where did that slide come from? A family snao, an advertising knitwear campaign for which he modeled for pin money?

Yes, me too! Just when did he pose for that?

And how did Raf find it?

What is about that hospital ? Why is Mo's dad suddenly working in the hospital, not only in the same hospital ! The same ward, unlikely is it that families all work together the way it does at holby

Whoever thought it up did a great job. I wonder if we could find the stock photo that has had Guy Henry's head stuck on it

How do we know they didn't just get Guy to pose for it? I bet he'd be game, he donned a xmas jumper for that BBC trailer a few years ago.

We don't, I'm only assuming that it would be easier to stick his head on a stock image.

I love the idea of Guy Henry posing for a knitting catalogue!!

The other thing that really annoyed me about Adele was her declaring to Mo's dad that Mo had lost "the best little sister in the world" because of all this. God, she really loves herself, doesn't she??

I've re-watched the episode and Adele is twice as annoying as she was on the first watch - in almost every scene that she is not in you can see her in the background with that patronising "I know best" look on her face. She is up there with Sahira in the annoyance stakes for me and that takes some doing!!!

Adele is a dreadful character. IRL she would have been out of the door months ago. Nosy, opinionated, interfering, self obsessed know it all. And so bl**dy annoying. I would record Holby and ff her scenes, but she is in EVERY single scene it seems. Dreadful character.

I love Mo, wish she would just get with the paediatrician that holds a torch for her, Mr T.
