Holby City Spoilers 24th March 2020
Max (Jo Martin) is feeling a sense of nervous anticipation: today is the day she’s meeting up with her estranged daughter, all while juggling her work responsibilities.
Ric (Hugh Quarshie) and Ange (Dawn Steele) worry about the fact that Max is trying to achieve too much and that her patient might be sidelined. Meeting up in a park, Max is poleaxed at first sight of her child.
Band Five ED nurse David Hide (Jason Durr) is recruited on Darwin to assist, but as Jac (Rosie Marcel) keeps reiterating to Fletch (Alex Walkinshaw) it’s a specialised nursing role, and she questions whether David has the relevant specialism: to her he’s a glorified paramedic.
Kian (Ramin Karimloo) tries in vain to support David by encouraging him to relax, which ultimately makes him even more frustrated and baffled.
Essie (Kaye Wragg) remains tense as she waits for her CT scan to see if her cancer has returned. Sacha (Bob Barratt) stays positive, buoyed by the fact that privately, he's decided that he wants to propose to Essie. He lets Dom (David Ames) in on the idea but swears him to secrecy. Essie and Dom eventually make up after Dom’s illicit kiss with Ben (Charlie Condou), but bad news is on the horizon.
