Marilyn wanted Harry to sign a press release brushing Ruth's suicide under the carpet. Harry threatened to take Ruth's diary to the press. Taking Harry's threat seriously, Marilyn took the board's generous cash offer to Harry. Harry wouldn't be bought, and stormed off. Maggie's daughter, Joanne, went into labour. An off-duty Toby made the decision for the baby to be born in the pub. The birth went well but the baby wasn't breathing. Dixie came to the rescue and Joanne had a beautiful baby daughter. Adam introduced himself to the new paramedic, Snezana. Dixie and Jeff were mortified as they had been calling her Susannah all day. The press were running a story on Ruth. Marilyn reminded Harry that if he did take the diary to the press, he would be ending his career. Bbc.co.uk Goooo Toby! *woot* Aww, and whilst he was pretty drunk aswell! And Snezana, she really showed some skill. I didn't know what to think of her in the beginning, I think she might grow on me Oooh, Harry. I think he did the right thing though, people should know the truth, and not some made-up story. I just hope Ruth doesn't blame him too much, if she wakes up. But he did censorise some stuff, I believe. Uhm... Jeff and Dixie were fun again, lol. I loved the look on Snezana's face when they were talking about the dog, and then with the werewolf call. Which, was an interesting storyline. The werewolf man. And the little giiirl ^^ Aww. Strange how I nearly put werewolves in Holby in my fanfic...

Baaaaaaaaaaaby Coldwell!! So cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!! /constructiveness Yes, woot for Toby!! He did so well, he should be so proud of himself But when the baby wasn't breathing & nobody was saying anything, omg that gave me such a fright I'm so glad they got her breathing!! It was so cute when Joanne came into ED and Alice and Kelsey were with her ;D Oh, and Toby & Joanne were quite cute together I thought... Jeff & Dixie, I think they get funnier every week!! ;D Dixie at the beginning in her sunglasses & all that banter about the hair of the dog ;D And her werewolf impression! And then when she was covered in mud! And "mumbulance"! ;D And the random conga line at the end of the ep had me howling with laughter!! Absolutely brilliant stuff Hmm. Harry and the diary. Personally I don't agree with it myself, not only because I keep a diary myself, but I'm thinking about Ruth's reaction when she wakes up and finds that Holby will know all her secrets. She purposely kept everything she wrote in her diary bottled up, and I think it'll make things worse for her if Harry goes ahead with it. I really didn't like Marilyn's press office release either though, but I don't think publishing Ruth's diary is the right way to go. Marilyn's totally doing my nut now though, I hope she goes soon... Snezana, not sure what to think of her yet. I'm worried that she'll turn out to be another Greg... She seems very determined & dedicated though, I think she's going to be a good paramedic, but I'm just worried about the paramedic banter... Looked like sarky/pregnant dogy/gobby Kelsey came out to play last night, I hadn't seen her that bad for a while But her singing Rehab to Dixie was genius!! ;D Alice was very nice though about Ruth, she seemed genuinely concerned The werewolf storyline... It seemed so random to me to start off with, but then I really grew to like it. I'm really glad the little girl was ok in the end I really liked the ep, the werewolf storyline worked out better than I thought it would, the scenes with Joanne and Toby when she was in labour were really gripping, and Jeff & Dixie were on fine form! Verdict : 8.5. PS Serious Brownie points for Grace Kelly being played in the background of a scene and for the little girl singing it!! ;D

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Grace Kelly bit, lol.
I don't know about the diary. It was wrong of Harry to actually take it to start off with, but he did strike out some lines in the version for the press so that you couldn't read it. It will be quite awful for Ruth, though, yes...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Grace Kelly bit, lol. How could you forget?? I know that Ruth wrote her suicide note in her diary, so that for me makes the whole issue a bit more problematic. But I still don't think Harry has any right to do anything with her diary, especially as Ruth's lying in a coma and obviously has no idea of what's going on. I don't think he should feel so guilty either, I mean, what could he have done? It was Ruth's decision to keep everything bottled up, it wasn't as if she was exactly letting on that she was having problems. I don't think publishing her diary's going to make things any better for her.

Nope. She should've really talked to someone. Which actually, come to think of it, she tried. But Maggie was busy... It's all so confusing and complicating. Nobody should feel guilty, that's for sure.

I know, it was really sad seeing that scene in last week's ep, it didn't seem that important in the actual ep it was taken from, but when you put it together with what we saw Ruth was actually going through it made it really sad. Maggie didn't have a clue though It is complicated though, I can definitely see where Harry's coming from about helping other F2s in her situation though, which makes things difficult. But yeah, I don't think anybody should feel guilty either.

Was an okay episode,I don't know why I don't find Dixie and Jeff as funny as everyone else,I mean they're funny,but I think some other characters are better(when they're being funny)
I don't mind the new paramedic,I find it anoying that ppl are put off just because she wasn't being too sociable,it's stupid ,she could just be reserved,I mean she did her job well.
I was wondering why I was finding her unbelivably annoying this week,I thought it was just me though.She was awful.
Toby,oh dear,well at least he kinda delivered the baby.But he tries.

It definitely wasn't just you Sapphire, I haven't seen her that bad for ages now. I thought it was really strange, a definite lack of continuity. He tries?? Aw come on, he did well! Ahahaha I'd forgotten about the wordfilter!! B*tchy then ;D

Lol!! Aaaaaaaaanyway, Kelsey... Err... She was being a bit sarky about Ruth iirc, oh, she said "We can't keep hold of them" about the F2s which I thought was a bit insensitive... I know there was more than that but that's all I wrote down about her... Oh, one more thing I forgot, I thought you would've liked this line June "Maggie had to hunt him down" ;D

Also when Alice complemened Toby Kelsey said something then too.
I don't see it as a lack of continuity,its makes sense,lots of ppl like gossip,but the glee that kelsey gets from spreading it shows she has issues.Snarky remarks are just another side of that.
Mainly I just founf her to be very unpleasant.

But she hasn't been that nasty for ages, even when she's been gossiping, I found it quite strange really, quite a change from how we've been seeing her for quite some time now.
