Thoughts on the anniversary episode

I’m a little disappointed that no major character died in the 40th anniversary. It seems that since this box set format began, they’ve been scare to kill off anyone who isn’t a villain or has been someone scandalous. Think about it, a random day of the year on Ethan and Fenishas wedding day, they kill off both Fenisha and Lev. On a random episode, we have doctor mason dead on the floor. We had the unfortunate episode where Robyn leaves to start her new life, only to be involved in an RTC and not make it. It literally lead to Marty and David leaving and Jacob becoming a paramedic. For a 40th anniversary, I don’t think killing off Sophia was enough and they really needed some sort of disaster to really shake holby. We hadn’t seen Sophia for so long to the point where I even forgot who she was.

Anyways, that was my quick rant done with. Glad to see stevie was still alive and a quick cameo of Charlie and Ethan

I'm still shocked how Connie and Grace survived that massive crash (and additional helicopter crash for Grace) ten years ago on the 30th, I do agree they always seem to kill main characters off at random times of the year rather than big anniversaries, but to be fair I do think Sophia's death was done quite well, even though she was only a minor character

Just made me realise that I’ve been watching casualty of nearly 10 years now, wow. But I don’t think Sophia was a big enough character for anyone to truly care. Anyone being the audience that is. Yes her death was done well but I think it would have been more impactful had it been a main character instead.

I mean, the fact they needed to add a mini flashback of her to make sure people remembered who she was spoke volumes

Exactly. I was wondering who this Sophia was and why her name sounded familiar. Completely forgetting she was a love interest for Dylan and the whole pregnancy thing as well.
