Hopelessly Addicted


Jacob has reverted to being an alpha male and takes it upon himself to track down a dangerous drug dealer in Holby. With several patients suffering from the same symptoms, he skilfully persuades an unlikely person to comply.

Big Mac is more reliant on his painkillers than ever. He tries to get Zoe to write him another prescription, but to no avail. Starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms and more desperate than ever for relief, Big Mac offers to help Robyn unpack the drugs delivery, and after a brief crisis of conscience, pockets a few packs.

Connor falls in a bin and hurts himself. He calls Max instead of Mercedes to help him. She is annoyed and suspicious, but Zoe steps up to defend him.

When we catch up with Big Mac this week he's on a short fuse and struggling to get through his shift. And it’s all because the healthcare assistant has developed a secret addiction to painkillers and has no more prescription pills!

Desperate for some relief he asks Zoe for a repeat prescription. But when she refuses will he be tempted to help himself to the hospital’s medical supplies?

Elsewhere, Max gets a call from Mercedes’ son, Connor, who is trapped in a bin and needs his help. Lily can see through Ethan’s forced joviality, but decides to play along with her friend’s ‘Be more Cal’ plan. And there’s a terrible tension between Connie and Jacob, as lovesick Jacob wants answers after their near-fatal rescue mission...

Also this week, keep an eye out for Big Top, Hi-de-Hi and Little Britain star Ruth Madoc. She plays fussy Bev, who’s having a relationship with two men at her retirement home!
