It was emotional for different reasons as hospital drama Holby City came to end after 23 years on our screens. The Casualty spin-off has been a fixture of Tuesday night television for more than two decades, but the final ever showed aired with the death of fan favourite Jac Naylor.
The surgeon, played by Rosie Marcel, died tragically in the final scene after asking 'Fletch' to write out a do-not-resuscitate order. Actor Alex Walkinshaw, who plays him, had earlier in the day teased that the final episode is "incredibly sad" but "empowering".
Jac awoke from her life-or-death operation to remove her brain tumour, led by Elliot Hope (Paul Bradley), to tell Fletch she had decided to refuse future medical intervention. Read why the show is being axed here.
