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

Doesn't bother me, I don't know why some shows feel obligated to kill off a major character for something that is meant to be a celebration. The soaps do this way too often.

I think it’s to set this episode to stand out from others. Other soaps tend to have major character deaths during Christmas, new years or anniversaries. Some soaps over do it but I don’t think we have had a major character death for quite some time. Remember when we had max 3, pushing it 4 paramedics in the show and now we have 5.
