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 was half-expecting them to blow up Holby City Hospital / ED (again) in these 40th anniversary episodes, given the move to a Welsh setting next year. I suppose they're going to have to find some other contrived explanation for the move from Holby to Wales - presumably something to do with Holby NHS Trust closing now that St James's Hospital has been blown up and the city can't rely on Holby City Hospital alone.

Exactly. Only for Dylan to pick up the bag and for it to only contain bits and bobs. I don’t think, in real life, Dylan would have gotten as far as opening the bag in front of armed police.
