Holby City bosses have announced that the show has filmed a special episode in Sweden.

The storyline begins when Jac is told that Hanssen is in his native Stockholm and is blocking a financial offer from a Swedish pharmaceutical company that would pump £40 million into Holby.

Jac is instructed to track down Hanssen and find out why he is sabotaging such a lucrative opportunity for the hospital.

A Holby City statement explained: "What follows is a story exploring Hanssen's past, discovering why he has been missing for the past few months, and also looks towards his future and whether he will indeed return to Holby City Hospital."

Back at Holby, the episode also shows that Luc Hemingway (Joseph Millson) is haunted by events from the past. Despite Michael and Sacha's best efforts, he seems to be heading off the rails, but whether he can face his fears and get back on track remains to be seen.


Holby City's consultant series producer Justin Young commented: "We are very excited and proud to announce one of the most ambitious episodes Holby's ever made.

"With extraordinary performances and a stunning visual backdrop, it's an epic, cinematic episode which takes viewers on what we hope will be an unforgettable journey to the very heart of our two most enigmatic characters: Luc Hemingway and Henrik Hanssen.

"It's a story about love, confronting the past, and - for one of our characters - new beginnings."

Holby City airs the episode on Tuesday, January 8 at 8pm on BBC One.
