This was a good one!



The Dan and Connie scenes were brilliant! There was some sizzle there.

As always, Dan just kept me glued to the screen -- and laughing.

Our Mr. Clifford really does care about his patients.

Absolute hoot when he and Elliott high-fived each other. And the look on Connie's face!

Donna's a moron, but at least she wasn't being malicious -- just stupid.

What's with this new nurse?

And why was Jaq running around like a scared bunny?

Chrissie can't actually believe Sam's having sex with a fourteen year old, can she? Or was she just being vindictive?

I'm confused by the number of new characters recently. They killed off the girls (Gina & Tricia) and the lads ran off to the tropics (Ric & Abra), but only one of those was a nurse - the rest were consultants or registrars. In comes one new consultant, an SHO, a nurse and now possibly another nurse?? Patsy Kensit at that. Very strange. Last I saw of her she was a vindictive money-grabbing cow on Emmerdale, and while I know actors don't like to get stuck in a rut this character seems very tame so far - maybe someone in Dubai applied thumbscrews?

Re the lack of strong males, I was hoping that Mark might get some more grrr time now that he's a consultant nurse, but so far all we've had was that clash with the anaesthetist a few weeks back.

On a vaguely related note, I know that hiring Maddie was a nice plot thing that may bear fruit one day, but gah!! There is so much bloody competition for SHO positions these days - the chances of her just following Clifford from one hospital to the next are minute. Nurses we are short of, doctors - not so much. In fact I see a suspicious lack of immigrant nurses on Holby's staff.. most NHS hospitals have at least a couple of each ward. (must stop rambling..)

Funnily enough, I was saying about the same thing to Nin a few weeks back.
