I have a weakness for Holby. I'm a bit sheepish though and scared to admit it! I know its not very realistic -which hospital can everyone find a parking space right at the front door. Also am v surprised that there's seemingly an onsite bar. Oh well I'm still hooked!

Desmond Carrington was Dr. Anderson in EW10. I wanted to be Mrs. Anderson. I listen to his programme on radio2. The voice is still the same but that's about all.

Yes, I just about remember EW10 it was one of mums favourite programmes.

Eloethan Thu 12-Feb-15 21:13:39

Oh, Dr Kildare - I loved him!

Ana Thu 12-Feb-15 19:41:06

Dr Kildare - Richard Chamberlain!

Anyone remember 'Emergency, Ward 10' in the early days? I can't remember the names of the doctors but as a teenager I know I had a crush on one of them!

It was called A&E and he was playing Jack Turner.

Just looked on Wiki but no mention of any hospital drama.

Lona Thu 12-Feb-15 18:55:32

I thought it was Casualty merlot but I'm usually wrong! grin

Didn't Michael Kitchen play a consultant in a rival hospital drama on ITV? Can't remember the name.

Haven't watched it since Anton Meyer left. [sigh]

Oh yes, I'd forgotten he was Connie's ex.

Chantelle's sickly smile and voice used to really grate. MC is definitely much nicer now.
I want Arthur to find himself a lovely girl. He's so sweet !

annodomini Thu 12-Feb-15 10:28:51

So he is, Jane10 and I think that hat rather suits him.

Jane10 Thu 12-Feb-15 10:21:22

He's too busy being a Policeman in Father Brown!!

annodomini Thu 12-Feb-15 10:05:50

Am I wrong in thinking that the father of Connie's unfortunate daughter was the registrar played by the delectable, (Strictly) dancing Tom Chambers? In which case, would they please bring him back from New York to liven things up a bit?

Lona Thu 12-Feb-15 09:48:05

Cloying? grin

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 12-Feb-15 09:39:15

Chantelle was sweet!!!

Lona Thu 12-Feb-15 09:36:11

Do you remember Michael Kitchen playing a consultant in Casualty/Holby? <sigh>

Lona Thu 12-Feb-15 09:33:31

Was it "Chantelle"?

annodomini Thu 12-Feb-15 09:33:31

Don't you think the script-writers are trying to brush up Harry's image and make him a more caring human being? Being an absentee father seems to have mellowed him. Watch this space!

Lona Thu 12-Feb-15 09:32:39

Marie Claire was not very nice when she first appeared but now they've turned her into a caring, compassionate nurse.
Much better than that dizzy blonde (caked in make up) ! Can't even remember her name now.

tanith Thu 12-Feb-15 09:12:09

Thanks Ninathenana and Ana for bringing me up to speed , I think Harry is a twat she could do much better, having said that I couldn't bear MC when she first arrived but she's grown on me..

PRINTMISS Thu 12-Feb-15 08:24:50

I agree with your Eloethan but having said that we still watch it regularly! It is really interesting(?) to see how quickly people recover from major heart surgery, what a lovely world to live in, just hope some folks do not believe in it all!

Eloethan Wed 11-Feb-15 22:27:20

I watch Holby but I think it has become exceptionally silly of late. I'm well aware that it's not to be taken seriously and hospitals aren't really as they are portrayed on the TV - but there are limits.

ninathenana Wed 11-Feb-15 22:26:59

Ana Harry is a useless human being but not a bad bit of eye candy IMHO grin

ninathenana Wed 11-Feb-15 22:23:48

Rachael lost the baby last night. She ran cycled off to meet the father not knowing she was in heart failure. Sacha of course got to her just in time.
MC and Harry are fizzing, I don't think the other man exists.
Main story last night was about triplet brothers who had been in an RTA.
Mo's mum aunt gave her a box of photos etc. that had belonged to her biological mum.

Ana Wed 11-Feb-15 20:38:56

Oh yes, Marie Claire - she is playing it cool, even mentioning a couple of dates she's had (don't know whether that's true or not) and he's definitely getting more interested. Don't know what she sees in him, TBH grin
