Good episode bar the green snotter and smithy, I now feel the end of days is coming with regards to smug self, it's strange how characters I hated on arrival who may be leaving are the ones I don't want to go.

Just looking at those spoilers for 14th and wondering could Mary Claire be pregnant? It would be fairly far fetched and you wouldn't think they would do it so close to Harry's Calum and Amy plot but they have done similar storylines in fairly close proximity beforehand. It would be fairly cliched if they did go down that avenue but I suppose it could explain a final twist and her not going to Chicago alone.
Something is clearly going to happen in that episode to twist that storyline, particularly as the DS spoiler says
Spoiler
I'm just hoping it is not a twist towards tragedy, but I think that has been done enough with Harry's accident.
Also, it says elsewhere that Serena notices that
Spoiler

Although that could just mean that she is upset about leaving.
It would seem that with the horror of Harry's accident and the aftermath things should twist for the better for them at the end.
I think a pregnancy twist might be a bit silly but it's a possibility...

Is anyone else reading the Q & A Jules Knight (Harry) is doing on twitter at the moment?

There's an interview with Jules Knight in this week's Inside Soap for anyone that is interested. That mag and What's on TV also give quite a lot of details about Harry and MC next week but I'm not able to post spoilers easily at the moment.

Thank you. Looking forward to seeing them, really intrigued to see what way it is all going to go. I saw a spoiler today confirming that both

It was commented that there is so much happening with storylines being resolved that it feels like the end of a series!!

He'll always be Reinhardt to me - Secret Army, 1979. The most sympathetic German Officer ever to appear in a wartime drama. I was already out at work by the time of Demon Headmaster!

Sacha might actually have a new straight talking, tell it as it is friend in Dominic now jac is going.

Re storylines coming to a head and dneding, that is usual for the half season point. Something usually happens to take things in a new direction. It is often a death but doesn"'t have to be.

For example, in season 13, yes we had Penny's death in episode 26 but that point also marked Jac taking over as consultant on Darwin, the news that CT was probably to close in favour of Plastics and Sahira's CTU project - all of which propelled most of the plots from April to October 2011.

Plus Eddi turned up along with Luc soon afterwards which was AAU sorted and funny Little Nurse Tait and her Mum was the main Kellar plot along with Chrissie and Dan.

"Harry's gone AWOL." Did I miss something? The last I remember was him wanting to go to Chicago with Mary-Claire so Michael Spence could do further surgery on him.

Poor Sacha, he is such a lovely bloke yet always so unlucky in love.

Yes it seems to conveniently be forgotten about and then remembered again for the odd family related plot. Even some mention of him needing a baby sitter when heading to Albie's would be nice.
Thought the way the Janny storyline was handled was very good. It was in fitting with their characters and as Michael had said not too romcom.
Really looking forward to seeing all of these resolutions next week. Also think they've handled Rosie and Jules finishing filming a few weeks before Michael and Niamh quite well. Rosie's drop in scenes fit in really well and they referenced Harry not being around this week to keep continuity. If you didn't know when they'd all finished you would hardly notice it.
Enjoyed the Dom and Sasha scenes. I would like to see more of that dynamic.

At the end of last week's episode he'd decided not to go to the U.S. and had told MC to go on without him. He must have gone awol since being discharged.
Spoiler
I reckon (hope) for a sunset ending with MC!

Just saw last week's trailer and Harry's face (and voice) is practically back to normal!! I don't know where he went awol to but that is some super fast transformation...

I really hope Rosie comes back after her maternity leave because that ending for Jac was pants. Even if she is in it next week I can't see how her being with that tw*t is the right ending for her. He is a self-righteous whining baby. She deserves so much better.

I can't quite tell if that was the end of something or the not quite the end of something. Jac and Jonny walk off arm in arm at the end. Does that mean they're together? Or are they together but not together? Jonny's apparently left the hospital for good but it feels like Guy deserved more than an incoherent rant as a farewell gift. His plans to close down all other hospitals would have Ewart Plimmer turning in his grave.

I'm not surprised Arthur got freaked out at turning round to see the Demon Headmaster standing behind him. (Yes, and Reinhardt. And Abbot Randolphus from Cadfael. And he was one of those actors that we wondered why he hadn't been in Doctor Who...then he was and they completely wasted him. And I've always been vaguely proud of the fact he did a film with Patrick Stewart and Pierce Brosnan and shared a scene with them...) His solving one case then moving on to the next one, followed by puncturing Raf's smug bubble with a "Here's what really happened" speech, were episode highlights followed by his joining in the joke on Fletch. But...Harry's awol? So has he gone? Yet Mary-Claire's still there despite having a big farewell last episode? Confused.

Really not sure about Dominic's "Don't be a spaniel" spiel to Sacha; I couldn't actually tell what he was trying to say and his expression at the end seemed to suggest he couldn't care less and may not have done the right thing...

Really liked tonight's episode and gave a great big 'yay' at the end. Was brilliant seeing Guy's discomfort (couldn't happen to a nicer chap) and thought there were some really good lines in there (even if some of them weren't actually said).


ETA: And hurrah for Part 5

Never seems to, or even ring anybody to say he'll be late.

Jonny always seemed to be available for last minute drinks when he had sole custody of Emma too, but was down on jac like a tonne of bricks for working long hours and leaving Emma with the Nanny when she had her.
