From the preview it's great to see that Jody Latham hasn't been type-cast again *rolls eyes*!

I don't think we have. It really feels like they're going to go with an abuse/stalker storyline with him.

Good I hated the smarmy git!

+ it would be strange to have two stories so similar to happen at the same time.

Please god let that be the end of the bloody awful Seb.

Fletch really shouldn't have recovered totally in half a second given how hurt he looked last week. Total cop-out really. It was also very obvious it wasn't him who died long before we saw it.

I do hope that

I agree Fletch's recovery was ridiculous. I know head wounds bleed a lot but he was knocked out cold so should have been under observation, surely!!

Exactly! Ollie being out cold (even if only briefly) and then allowed to work for the remainder of the day and also travel to get a heart for Elliott was ridiculous too. Zosia appeared to be momentarily out cold also and there was no indication that either her or Ollie were even examined afterwards!

While Fletch was eventually examined, this was an afterthought for Raf some time after he had been walking around the hospital.

Ditto there being absolutely no reference to what had happened to last week's Darwin patient whose surgery had prevented Elliott, Zosia and Ollie from evacuating.

It reminded me of the episode set the day after the Kibo night shift episode in February where various characters seemed to be working 36 hour shifts, and the patient characters who had been there during the night all disapeared! Complete lack of continuity!

So theyk?e retconned elliot's past so Gina is no longer his first love and broken Jac and Jonny up off screen, thus allowing her to still be bitter and twisted upon her return.

Nice to have a Joseph mention but they didn't have to throw Janny under a bus for it. They haven't even let her have the full maternity leave off with him happy.

I enjoyed the Dom/Digby stuff but that's all.

What a way to let us know that Jac and Jonny have broken up! Really don't know why they even bothered having them leave together. It would have been better to have had a resolution of their relationship as a friendship before he left. Jac was horribly flippant about the nurse thing too.

I wondered what would happen to Gary and did think jav might take him to give Jonny his dog. But now, apparently Jonny is no more.

Grrrr - i hate this show sometimes. I might actually stop watching.

I think i would have rather March had been Jac's final exit than this. Just a flippant comment with no proper explanation, nothing as to what will happen re custody of Emma, where Jonny is now - nothing.

Unless they are just implying jac loved Joseph more but that wasn't how it seemed. Could they not have her love both and make a success of the relationship? After all, Elliot loved Gina, had a long and happy marriage and 10 years of bereavement but apparently loved/loves Brigitte as well.

I generally avoid all Holby spoilers, can someone tell me if that's a well deserved extended break or Elliot leaving?

Isn't she horribly flippant about everything? She got where she is by sleeping her way to the top, why does Elliot even give her the time of day.

OMG I am so emotional right now, that had to be one of the best Holby episodes ever.

A great ending for Elliot plus Frieda plus Dom and Diggers kissing doing kareoke!!

But the best thing of ALL was the Joseph mention and Jac admitting that he was the love of her life. Please come back, Joseph!!!!

Personally, I liked the way she announced Jonny was no longer a part of her life, it was in keeping with Jac

Sorry to see Elliot go, but at least he had happy send off.

Was Frieda a one off?

Good episode really.

I normally like Jac but I really wasn't fussed tonight. Really have no idea why the writers built up the Janny storyline over more than two years to have it end like that. I wasn't massively invested in their relationship but even I feel cheated as a viewer to have it wrapped up like that!
