while i’m really not a fan of the way jason was written or handled overall, i do like how from the start henrik kinda takes him under his wing because he can relate to jason’s struggles and help him thru stuff
I’m hungover so there’s v little of chance of me being actually productive so I decided it’s time for an ~old holby marathon~ !!
kicking off with S12E12 Resolutions
straight off the bat I MISS the old opening. i forgot there was a time before the weird ice skeleton. look at little jac being all sexy doing a precordial thump (which nobody really does because it rarely helps but it Looks Dramatic and that’s the main thing). Truly simpler, happier times
It’s the new years eve ep for 2009, which was apparently 10 years ago but I REFUSE to accept
There’s some Joseph and Faye drama over the death of Faye’s son Archie.
Thandie Abebe-Griffin (one of Ric’s 52 wives) is about but I can’t really remember much about her character other than there was some drama over her being massively incompetent??
PENNY VALENTINE is here, sweet baby. I wish she hadn’t been killed off. Like the Miliband brothers, we got the wrong one.
jac looks tiny and adorable and does not at all seem to grasp that people do not want to be working new years eve. Her FRINGE!! she also has her scrub sleeves rolled up which is extremely gay of her and i am extremely here for it
I could talk about the storylines but I’m more interested in how young and cute everybody looks.
HAHA Penny and Oliver calling Jac Termi-Naylor. She’s collected to many nicknames over the years. I think once someone named a model skeleton on keller after her?
Michael Spence teasing Jac is always good content. In related news, I am bisexual. He tells Ollie and Penny to watch and learn and calls her “100% surgeon” and she does a little smile and it is WHOLESOME.
Faye gets charged with murder, which is wild. She probs did kill a bunch of husbands, but not her son, which is what this is about.
Controversial, but I am a fan of Joseph. Although, he did seem to spend at least 10% of every episode looking for a phone charger for his constantly out of battery phone. He is Not Happy with the Faye-being-charged-with-murder news.
Donna and Maria! I loved them on screen together. Donna has announced to the patient that 2010 will be “the year of the man” for her. Hope she got some good D xox
Penny is looking hot!! Everybody looks hot! I wish everybody was this attractive in real hospitals. This is the level of analysis u can expect form me when I am hungover
Holby City, the hospital where nobody writes in prescription charts but instead just bark orders at passing nurses.
“Woah, that’s a type 2 thoracic triple A. That livens the shift up a bit.” Jac u are so inappropriate and CUTE
Donna and Maria standing within hearing distance, staring at the hot O&G doc, “he can examine me whenever he wants”, ladies !! we love decorum in the workplace. “You don’t want to look desperate.” “I am desperate”
~ SINISTER BACKGROUND NOISE WHICH IS AS SUBTLE AS A HERD OF ELEPHANTS ~
Ollie and Jac having some intense eye contact across the table. Deal with the aortic aneurysm first lads.
Patient is crashing. Ollie – “he’s in VF” Jac- “Really? How dull.” Sjgkshdg jac !! then whilst they’re trying to resus the patient she carries on with a casual conversation. some of us can only dream of being that cool. Ollie is just like ????
(also holby is so dumb I love it. Literally every single theatre scene has the same formula of op going well, OH NO PATIENT IS IN VF, SHOCKING)
Petition to get some fun young nurses back in holby ! and more of the staff going out and getting absolute shitfaced !
Other nurse confesses, Faye is no longer charged with murdering her son. Joseph is happy.
Oof and now the bit that makes the whole ep memorable.
Jac saying she chose medicine because other people are easier to fix is PAINFUL. Poor bby! Look at her!
And then THIS happens
Very rogue. Very uncomfortable. Slightly hilarious. Penny taking a photo of them on Donna’s camera, u gotta love the DRAMA of it all
