Speaking to Inside Soap, he said: "Holby, unlike Casualty, mostly takes place within the walls of the hospital, so we have to ration our stunts.
"But we are in the early stages of planning something, and viewers can expect a very big dramatic stunt early in the New Year."
Harper also revealed that fans could look forward to some developments in Jac and Jonny's story, as he becomes determined to bring baby Emma back into her life.
He said: "As the producer of this show, I would never put out the message that a woman can't have both a baby and career. Jac is using her job as an excuse, and knows full well that she can have it all - be a mother and do well at her job.
"The thing about Jac is that she is terrified because of the background with her mum, Paul, and is scared that she will inflict the same damage on Emma.
"But Jonny is going to be like a dog with a bone, gently trying to bring Emma back into Jac's life. He won't give up!"
