Holby City fans were heartbroken as the long running BBC drama came to an end last night, March 29.
The hospital based show has been on air for 23 years. The end of the line came after BBC bosses decided to axe the popular show “in order to reshape the BBC’s drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country”. In the final episode, a host of past Holby faces returned, including Chizzy Akudolu as Mo Effanga, Hugh Quarshie as Ric Griffin and Luke Roberts as Joseph Byrne.
The finale not only waved goodbye to the show as a whole but it also ended emotionally as one of the most loved characters died. Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) made a heart-rending decision which ultimately led to her death.
