As much as I hate the whole Raf and Essie thing I can see why they suddenly put him on Keller. As with Jasmine being shoved off to AAU (which I agree was done because she was close to Dom) Essie will be distracted by 'her love of Raf' *pukes* to notice what is going on, Sacha's going to have his medical problems, Ric's busy as acting CEO and of course Hansan isn't even in the county. They'll all be busy with their own stuff to notice that Issac is isolating Dom from everyone and emotionally (for now?) controlling him although Dom appears very confident he has a lot of self-esteem issues. From the trailer we know that Jez a paramedic from Casualty will be guest appearing in an episode soon flirting with Dom also in two weeks time
Spoiler


Zosia has noticed something though as Isaac rushed Dom off to sort out their trip to Lapland not knowing that Dom has lied pretending everything was fine when she said she had a good xmas when they had their 'chat'.

I think Memmh's therory is right with the car thing.

So the long running (it's been years) 'will they won't they' with Mo and Mr T has to finally come to a conclusion tonight right?!

So it's fair to say that Ellie is either still as high as a kite or on a massive come down.

Oh and now look what's happened!

This wedding is like something out of a 90's Swedish porn film!

Elinor MUST be related to Catherine Russell in real life. MUST be!

We need a spin off series that is just Jac and Ollie in various social situations she doesn’t want to be in.

That was a well balanced episode - comedy with the wedding and sadness for Serena.

That was a fab episode, some real laugh out loud moments at the wedding ... most courtesy of Jac .... and a real ahhh ending. Serena / Ellie story is very tragic, I guess we can see now why she is going to be so angry with Jasmine. Really strong ep

Also, very cute baby!

I'm hoping this leads to Jasmine's exit, I really haven't warmed to the characters, she keeps making mistakes that are putting people in danger. I know she's learning but you hope someone would be a bit more competent before being let lose on a ward. Yet other characters keep thinking she's this amazing doctor, the next Jac Naylor she aint

Thank goodness: a happy ending / beginning for Mo and Mr T.


Tragic about Ellie. I can imagine poor Edward's reaction. Jasmine will have to go surely.

Is Mo now going to be on maternity leave for 6 months? Nice to see her happy with Mr T and the baby.

Poor Serena. Jasmine surely is partly responsible for the tragedy and must face the consequences?

Jac and Ollie so funny at the wedding!

Great episode! To quote Jac - "Finally!" YES! At last! Mo and Mr T are finally together! YAAAAAY!!!

Jac and Ollie were hilarious tonight. I laughed at the dancing segment where Jac didn't want to be a part of the wedding dance but was forced by Ollie and then became trapped in the dance. Her pleading for Mo to save her was hilarious!

Drunk Jac is also great. "And I thought I was a bitch!"

Loved Mo, Derwood and Momma T. Pleased to finally see them together and their cute baby. It's for good this time. To new beginnings! Good balance of comedy with the wedding fiasco and the seriousness with scenes involving Serena, Jason and Ellie.

Something tells me Jasmine is gonna get her head bitten off. Poor Serena.

Great episode all round!

I'm not sure Jasmi e wpuld have to go.

I wasa bit in and out if the rpom but didn't Elinor refuse to be examined? A doctor can't force somebody to be checked over against their will inless they prove they're mentally incapable of making an.informed decision which would invomve Psych.

Now arguably Jasmine should have taken that step, or at least told somebody else that she hadn't been able to examine her, plus knowing about the Cocaine, so I fully understand why Serena will be furious, but I'm not sure it would-be professional negligence.

Hard to see where Jasmi.e can go from here with fails on all 3 featured wards.

To be fair though, Darwin and Kellar really weren't her fault. Jac was looking for any reason to get rid for personal reasons and Isaac shouldn't have had the authority to boot her off Kellar for what was an IT/Admin error which was fixable, although time consuming.

I agree with the Poster that commented that she really hasn't been adequate support by anybody. There is a mentor system in place for a reason,because it requires constant on job training as there is a limit to how much can be taught in a lecture theatre, even in 6 years. This is partcuarly important for newly qualified Doctors and Jasmine just hasn't had that from anybody. Even Oliver, her first Ssigned mentor, compromised the role by first sleeping with her and then wanting to distance himself for fear of upsetting Zosia. Jasmine was hardly an unwilling participant in the dalliance but it still wasn't fair pn her career wise and Ollie, as the senior, should have known that.

I wish I could go ahhh about MoT but I'm afraid I don't th i nk thst Mo is actually that nice a person to deserve a HEA and has treated him badly for years. But, he loves her so nice for him.

Haven't seen Holby in ages but glad I caught tonight's episode. Thought the wedding stuff was hilarious. Hanssen in the car was glorious

The actresses playing Ellie and Serena couldn't look more alike, it's freaky!

I hope Jasmine doesn't get too much blame for Elinor refusing to be examined. I got the impression from that, and her hyper state, and her wanting to get rid of her handbag, that she been taking something non-prescription..

.
Maybe Casualty

I think Jasmine - possibly due to her inexperience - suggested she check Eleanor's pupils and Eleanor said no need as she was fine. I presume Eleanor was worried she was checking for drugs but had Jasmine been a bit more insistent and explained it was to check for signs of brain injury or head trauma then she might have agreed. I don't think jasmine was insistent enough, she just shrugged and said ok, but again as you say she had no mentor, is very inexperienced and was under pressure as the only dr on the ward at that time.

Fletch was aware she was struggling and surely should have taken steps to see if another dr could have been bought down for a few hours. Raf for eg!

Great acting tonight and perfect mix of humour and drama! Def one of the better eps!

Also, for my non-medically trained brain (and the fact that I have the attention span of a gnat and miss vital bits) ...is Elinor still alive? Tragic

She's on a ventilator but they're talking about organ donation so I think it's a matter of turning the machine off.

She's brain dead and so incapable of breathing for herself. So, a ventilator is keeping her body alive but effectivy she is dead.

Once they have harvested her organs, if she was on the Register and neither Serena or Edward object, they will switch the ventilator off and her body will die.

Hilarious wedding and another will they ever get together couple finally does - thats two in 3 weeks.

Glad Jason survived.

I presume next week is when we get the Jasmine that's not fair Serena LIFE isn't fair scene.

So Jasmine must breakdown and confess. Can't really she how she can remain at Holby - it's a mess up every two weeks - Serena will never be able to forgive her.

But didn't Ellie refuse treatment? A Doctor can force someone.
