Holby: 'Before the Fall'

[ithildin]

A few thought's about this week's eppie...

Our Dan has a real chivalrous streak doesn't he? I've been noting signs of it, but this episode really cemented the the idea for me. He was ready to cover for Kyla! Dan seems to really like women, aside from the obvious. Every week something else happens to just endear him all the more to me.

And the real Methos moment? when Kyla told him she'd told the police the truth, and his reply, "Sure, whatever works for you." Cracked me up!

As for the rest of them... I really felt for Connie. She was dealing with the situation the only way she could. And Elliot is such a dear! and what was with that couple Donna was assigned to? I'm actually liking Donna better these days. And Jac!?!?!? I don't think she was expecting Lord Byrne to be smitten. What a mess she's gotten herself into. And the bright spot of the ep was no Thandie!

Dan good, nice bloke :) Looked like Faye was going to keep schtum about all she's seen too, but I hope Kyla gets Max back soon. That "family" situation was a vicious circle, though it's annoying cos I used to like Harvey (before he turned into a wife-batterer, however well she fought back).

Jaq is a manipulative cow who deserves every corner she backs herself into :) I reckon she'll stay true to form and pick Lord Byrne over Joseph, but I look forward to posible fireworks if the latter ever finds out!

Maria was a star this ep. I love the way she just flashed those blokes as if to say, "bovvered?" and yes, Donna in justice mode was a pleasant sight. I can't see her as a career nurse like Chrissie (unless something changes), but there is something under the gossip.

Connie.. like her, generally, and the storyline - though I do hope she lets Sam into that room soon - but the only reason I can imagine why Eliott didn't have her escorted off the ward while she was still working is that she might have gone home and never come back. The thinking is probably that being on-site means a better chance that she'll give in and look to the bub. Legally the hospital has an obligation to keep her away from anything work-like for a minimum of 2 weeks, though that would be awkward considering the fact that both job and baby are in the same building!

That said, I have a weird perspective on that storyline at the mo *lol* several people on my pregnancy comm have had prem babies - thankfully none with intra-cranial bleeding - but it's still heart-breaking when they talk about being kept behind glass walls.

Good morning!

I enjoyed the episode overall this week. Some weeks are like marking time, but this one engaged me.
