Looking For the Steamy

[ithildin]

So far, I'm enjoying Holby City. But it's a little different than I expected. From what I'd heard going in, and in reading the BBC website, I was expecting it to be wall to wall sex. However, the four episodes I've seen so far have been sex free. For example, the little bio of the character Ric has a long line of love interests listed, both women and men, nine kids, and yet so far, the most I've seen is a patient asking him out for a drink. About the most action anyone seems to have gotten was Abra taking the nurse-who's-name-I-don't-remember out for breakfast. Not quite sure what to make of this, especially since there were certain expectations for what Mr. Clifford was going to be getting up to once he appeared. Are we going to be quite disappointed in that regard? If what I've seen so far is any indication, we just might be.

Le sigh, le weep, le boo hoo!

Please tell me, my across the Atlantic sisters, that there's still hope? That somewhere in the future there's a few good steamy scenes to be had! I await your replies with hope in my heart.

(yeah, I'm just a wee bit goofy this afternoon)(could you tell?)

Yeah, me too. I was just being silly, and was trying to be funny. Something I should refrain from since I don't do it very well.

Awww you do funny just fine. Actually I would be thrilled if Peter would pull it all out so to speak and do a really racy scene. With a good looking male doctor or nurse would be even better.

But I don't think it's happening any time soon.

Nin's the funny one in my house. I just try. :)

Seems like HC is like General Hospital in that if you read character bios and the show history, it comes off as a lot more racy than it actually is. For a daily soap opera GH contains very little sex or infidelity. They save sex scenes for sweeps months [g] And then I fast forward through them anyway looking for the stuff that moves the plot along. I'm not funny and I'm boring!

As for good looking male doctor, maybe there's hope -- Ric has a guy listed on his love interests. So you never know!

*g* start a campaign for PW to join ITV's Emmerdale (http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=111) - it's set in a small village full of gossips, dodgy bastards and supposedly nice farmers. They might not be able to show the sex and literal back-stabbing, but the subtext is blatent :)

(hmm.. a bit like the Archers then, and he was already in that..)

Or bring Simon Pemberton back to Ambridge and watch the fur fly :)
