Taking Over

Today was shown to be fairly quiet on the wards of Holby City General, compared to that of the last few weeks. Most of the episode focussed on the storylines of the hospital staff and there was very little patient input.

It was really nice to see Jac back on Keller, working alongside Sacha. Michael once again has failed to make an appearance and there was no mention of him throughout the rest of the episode. There was however a mention from Ric, telling them that he wasn't going to be able to come into work. This once again left Keller in the hands of Sacha though Jac managed to jump in and step into the role of Acting Consultant, which she was obviously suited to.

The unusual pairing of Jac and Sacha continued throughout the episode and it was a relief to hear the awesome and comical conversations between them, after the seriousness of the last few weeks Although they worked well together in the end, I hope that the scriptwriters can leave it at that because we still need Joseph and Jac to get back together sometime soon!

Out other main focus this week was on Darwin Ward woth the arrival of a new registrar, Greg Douglas. I think many people have noticed that Douglas may be the man that we saw with Connie when she was working in the private hospital in London. If it is, can we expect a further relatonship from them?

Although Connie was not in the episode (neither was there any mention about Elaine and Kevin), we did see more from Elliot, who spent most of the time trying to achieve the funding to buy a state of the art laser for the hospital. The newly appointed CEO, Mark did not seem to do much to help in the situation, though in true Holby style, someone will swoop in and save the day.

An observant patient also let slip that he believed that Faye was pregnant, which Linden was understandably excited about. This was short lived when Faye informed him that the baby was probably Joseph's but Linden insisted that he would still stand by her.

Hopefully we will have more action next week and some more of Joseph! It would also be good to find out what happens with Elaine's surgery and if Connie turns to Greg when seeking comfort in the future.
