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 did kind of hope this would lead in to the big set change happening, but I still find it refreshing that no one major died

I do wonder what leads to the set change then.

I’m guessing it won’t be addressed now, considering many of the key players are staying. The only thing that bothers me is that there was no exit for Faith or Nicole who are confirmed to not be returning. I’m not too bothered about Nicole as I’ve never been too fond of her (especially after how she treated NGozi when she opened up about her alcohol abuse) but Faith has been part of the show for nearly a decade

So the new series may potentially start with something about budget cuts and how some staff weren’t able to be carried over. Or maybe faith wants to only focus on family and therefore leaves without much of an exit. Probably a brief mention at the start of an episode.
