Ruth faces a festive family crisis, Lenny considers the prospect of unwanted early Christmas leave and Zoe continues to enjoy a bit too much seasonal "spirit" in this year's festive offering of the medical drama. As the competition for the fellowship continues, May is frustrated by always being regarded the least-promising of the F2s and plays a trick on Lenny which has far-reaching consequences. Acting on May's misinformation, Lenny mistakenly tells two sisters that their father, Barry, has died. He is severely reprimanded by a stressed and furious Adam and it looks as if Lenny's Christmas leave may be lasting a little longer than he would like. Ruth, meanwhile, is looking forward to celebrating Christmas with a long-lost member of her family when she notices an heirloom has gone missing from her flat. As she's plunged into a world of stolen phones, heroin overdoses and male prostitution, Ruth realises that she's likely to face Christmas alone. Will this mean she's ready to accept the support of ex-boyfriend Jay? As matters finally come to a head between Jordan and Adam over Jordan's role in the Emergency Department (ED), Jordan is forced to face the music over his future as a doctor. Meanwhile, Zoe continues to escape the stresses of her life through the bottom of a bottle. Finally, the staff find out who is responsible for the string of disappearances in the ED. Is there a thief at large or could it be a secret Santa working in mysterious ways?
Tauche ein in die Welt von Holby City
Holby City ist mehr als nur eine weitere Krankenhausserie – es ist ein intensives Drama, das seine Zuschauer direkt in das Herz des NHS (National Health Service) im Vereinigten Königreich versetzt. Als Spin-off der beliebten Serie Casualty hat es bereits einen soliden Hintergrund, auf dem es aufbauen kann. Aber während Casualty sich mehr auf die Notaufnahme konzentriert, nimmt uns Holby City mit in die komplexen Operationen und Intrigen der chirurgischen Abteilungen des fiktiven Holby City General Hospital.
In der ersten Staffel werden wir Zeuge, wie talentierte Chirurgen wie Anton Meyer und Nick Jordan täglich lebensverändernde Entscheidungen treffen müssen. Bereits im ersten Episoden-Doppelpack wird klar, dass diese Serie keine Angst davor hat, schwierige ethische Fragen zu stellen – wer soll beispielsweise das einzige verfügbare Spenderherz erhalten? Solche Dilemmata sind es, die Holby City zu einer fesselnden Show machen.
