Serious Discussion

[ithildin]

Mischief and I had a very serious conversation last night. So serious, so important, I think we need your input. Ready?

Who will Dan Clifford bed first?

There you go! Like I said, most serious [g] I'd create a poll, but I'm too lazy. So in the comments you go!

I'm saying Jac right now, subject to change my mind without notice.

At present, I've gotta agree with ya...they're already behaving (rather like my ex and I) like pre-teens on a school yard, pulling eachother's hair & kicking eachother in shins rather than just kissing & getting it over with...and I very much liked his confronting her, challenging her to come for him...yeah, I give 3 eps before they're going at it in a supply closet ;-)

Though presently, I'd prefer to see him with Kyla...she's strikingly lovely (Jac's cheek-bones scare me and I want to force-feed her a sandwich), far saner & less catty than Jac, and I think smart enough & savy enough to be good for him...but of course, where would the drama be in that?

Abra's daft attempts at revenge? I never know whether he's after Kyla for her ability to help him with creative paperwork/excuses, or whether he genuinely fancies her :)

Well from the little bit of seen (yes, I'm one of those fangirl Yanks who's only started finding a way to see it now that Peter Wingfield's joined the cast), I doubt he knows whether he's using her or he's sweet on her. I get the idea that like many men I know, he fancies that she cleans up his messes, but isn't really sure what to do with the women in his life beyond that.

Which one is Kyla?

The lovely black "sister" (Hmmm, can I Brit explain to me what that means? I'm medicaly trained on this side of the pond, but I'm still learned the british terminologies like "registrar" and such) seen in this picture (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/holbycity/characters/profiles/content/images/kyla.jpg)...

Oh, Sister Tyson! Didn't know what her first name was.

Nin has a UK nurses ref. I've found it helpful: http://www.christie.nhs.uk/patientinfo/uniform/nurses/nurses.htm

And this is a UK surgical staff guide: http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/patient_information/publications/who.pdf

I'm not exactly certain, but sisters are quite high up the nursing ladder. She's not in charge, but getting there - Chrissie is matron (another historical title floating about the NHS..).

Maybe this'd help - UK nursing titles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse#Nursing_titles). There's a few varieties at each level, probably because the traditional names are very female friendly. I'd love to see a bloke answering to "sister" XD

Here's a good one for registrars etc too: NHS career grades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialist_registrar). Chances are that Holby will stick the older titles for a while because that's what everyone is used to.

On a random note, Kyla's got an estranged hubby - Harvey the sexy copper (at least I reckon he can be sexy when he wants to!). He's the one about to charge Mark for drink driving. They're still wrangling over their son too, which could put certain suitors off.

I don't know if I've seen all the characters yet, so I'm just basing it on my very limited knowledge of the show. And at this point, Jac seemed most likley.
