The official PH Holby City & Casualty thread.
Discussion
Due to the overwhelming success of "The official PH Coronation Street" thread 
, I thought would start one on these two long running BBC shows..
In Holby, it's about time Dom kicked that controlling creep Isaac Mayfield into touch....he's been treating him like a doormat for far too long....

We used to be big fans but gave up on Holby ages ago due to the formulaic nature. Is it still like this?
1) The staff will get over familiar and too deeply involved in patients' (troubled) private lives.
2) Random bloke suffers a sudden seizure, goes into VF and needs to be rushed into theatre despite that fact that they were not ill before they went there, just delivering flowers/toys on behalf of their granny/a charity.
3) The staff will bicker over the prone (and now cut open) body on the operating table over the best approach to treat him.
4) Meanwhile the most qualified surgeon for the job is having a confidence crisis / boffing a nurse in a broom cupboard.
5) Patient goes into VF again and the staff will desperately try to revive them but. Sadly they are unsuccessful.
6) Patient dies.
7) The staff hang around looking mournful. There was nothing they could do, it was too late, the patient should have told someone about their condition ages ago.
8) Long lost relative turns up. They'd fallen out (so how did they know the dead man was there?) but wants to make amends before it's too late. It's too late.
9) Relative causes a scene, threatens to sue.
10) Weeks of angst and worry for staff. Inquest by the Holby board implicates no-one.
11) Zoobin hangs around giving it the 'old puppy-dog eyes' routine. Senior Staff Nurse / Matron / Dark Blue Uniform wearer Chrissie applies more lip gloss.
12) Annoying Bristol accent nurse makes smart alec comments.
13) Staff gather their strength for next week's (same format) show.
14) Repeat for 5 years occasionally rotating ex-soap 'stars' in as extras, patients, doctors and nurses.
Note - For Casualty plot lines, as above but add a ludicrous and implausibly set-up industrial accident shocker start involving gas canisters, scaffolding and some men in a transit van.
Yep, that just about sums it up.1) The staff will get over familiar and too deeply involved in patients' (troubled) private lives.
2) Random bloke suffers a sudden seizure, goes into VF and needs to be rushed into theatre despite that fact that they were not ill before they went there, just delivering flowers/toys on behalf of their granny/a charity.

Occasionally you get the odd motorbike crash to ring the changes.
Essential viewing.

Do people watch both, or just one, Casualty or Holby?
We watch Casualty every week, have tried Holby but can't get on with it.
Mrs WR has watched Casualty for over ten years, but about two years ago I got her into watching Holby, and now we watch both, but I prefer Holby.We watch Casualty every week, have tried Holby but can't get on with it.

Holby - what are the chances the baby you give up at birth ends up being your understudy at work, and you only know this because you recognise the adoptive mum you last saw 25 years ago.
Christ on a bike!
Yes, Poor Dom.Christ on a bike!
It must have been terrible.
All this after suffering abuse at the hands of Isaac Mayfield a while back.
He gets on bum rap on Holby.
Meanwhile, on Casualty Charlie has his work cut out looking after Duffy, is he going to snap?
