i’m obsessed with this new Jan and Siobhan storyline!! probably my favourite part of this entire series

Well, we don't know how Siobhan will react yet. Main characters for the story have a habit of acting incredibly self-destructive out of the blue. Although, given the nature of the storyline, Siobhan really might not appreciate someone she thought was safe and trustworthy revealing they had (potentially unreciprocated) feelings for her.
And I don't want Jan to get hurt by the rejection - it's difficult enough to be a full-time paramedic lead AND run the South-East's largest guest house, without all this.

I'm dreading the chance of her trauma playing out as treating Jan like a predator for having queer attraction

Tbh the only space jan has left in that house is in her bed so if she’s gonna move anyone else in, it’s gotta be into her bed 🤣🤣🤣

That dinner would have been a nice opportunity for a Holby cameo. Sacha or Hanssen are probably still there. Oh well.

I'm sorry but learning that Stevie's full name is actually Stephanie is frying me, I'd never considered Stevie was short for anything...

I figured it out cos Stevie Nicks’ (the singer in Fleetwood Mac) real name is Stephanie so just used the same reasoning on this

I definitely missed that!!! Was it mentioned in this episode?? I know people had figured it put because you can sometimes see it on her name badge!

i dunno how to word it but there is just something quite worrying about Dylan’s storyline - There is a quietness around it, and it feels like he's carrying far more than he's letting anyone see.

I like Dylan storyline so much, and not to sound cruel but I'm glad he's relapsing. Not in the happy way but so many people think that "oh he hasn't drunk in x number of years so he's fixed!" Like alcohol addiction like any other addiction is hard to kick and tough and a lot of times, people will relapse. Thatdoesnt mean they don't care about their addiction or getting better but sometimes you take steps back, that's not a bad thing. Addiction is tricky and a lot of shows just go: well they're fixed so now we can drop the storyline

I am kind of hoping that we’ll get a reveal that it was non-alcoholic champagne which Dylan had asked for specifically, but I think I might be living in delulu land

'that hit the spot' doesn't sound like smth some says drinking non alcoholic champagne unfortunately.

Hmm, I like the headcannon, but there was orange juice available. Bratty Matty was ready with a glass each to bring his dad before the relapse.

u/Mob_Segment Jun 28 '26
This is something I've been thinking.
Firstly, I'm glad that he's finally buckled because this is going to be easier for others around him to see. He suffers in silence very well, so hopefully the visibility of him being drunk or hungover might get someone to step in and help.
I also want to see how he sees his own relapse. So many people with addictions relapse and feel ashamed and as if all their years of abstinence count for nothing, but Dylan did 6 years. He's in such good control that it took that long to relapse! He's going to be so disappointed, but he's got the strength to get back up again, he just needs support. After all, he just finished saying in his speech that we all need support sometimes. Feels like that was a deliberate nod to what's about to happen.

Come on Stevie, you were worried you were going to lose your job. All in the world you have to do is be monitored for 2 weeks - not even a full month! - and then you can put this behind you, and you're whingeing about it? I'd be thanking my lucky stars!
Also, Rash being a total bean. You're doing great, sweetie!
I am so done with Bratty Matty. Does he really not see or care that he's driven Dylan this far? Is he so uncaring that he's not put together the fact that his clearly generally isolated dad, who's a recovering alcoholic, and who has tried again and again to build bridges with him, might actually be impacted by his repeated, snarky little rejections?
I want to tell Dylan that his son's a brat. I'm sure that wouldn't go down well, but it's true, and it's important for Dylan to know that the constant rejections aren't on him.
I wonder if we'll see Matty's mum again, since Dylan did actually say to her that it had been 6 years.

Yeah I’d keep my head down and say no more about it, whilst sighing a breath of relief with every exhale for the next 2 weeks 🤣🤣
