In the surgical department of Holby City Hospital, surgeons Anton Meyer and Nick Jordan race against time to carry out a heart transplant operation, but first they have to make the difficult choice between two possible recipients: Alan Kenyon, Anton's initial choice who turns out to be ill; and Simon Harwood, who becomes panicky when the operation finally approaches. Alan's father Les finds it hard to accept that his son is being delayed again, and bursts into the operating theater during the procedure, and has to be disarmed. Nurses Julie Fitzjohn & Jasmine Hopkins vie for the post of Deputy Ward Sister on Darwin, the cardiology ward, with Jasmine being successful. Nicola Fallon is brought up, and the staff have to contact her parents, who are in Belgium.

Jasmine Hopkins has to use all of her diplomatic skills to remake a good working relationship with Julie Fitzjohn, who is resentful that she didn't get the job, as the continuing night shifts prevent her seeing as much of her infant daughter as she would like. And there's a tough new ward sister, Karen Newburn, for everyone to contend with; it appears she and Nick have a ‘history’. Jasmine has to lay down the law to Dougie O'Donnell, a patient who she finds smoking cannabis on the roof. Paul Ripley spends a lot of time at Nicola Fallon's bedside, to the anger of her parents.

The staff of Darwin Ward struggle to stop the spread of the life-threatening MRSA infection, when it is contracted by one patient, Debbie Prewitt from another, Lizzie Coombes. Suspicion about its spread falls on Julie Fitzjohn.

Nicola Fallon, the girl in a coma, reaches crisis point, and her parents face an agonising decision.

Simon is obsessed with finding out about the heart donor. Dennis Johnson, an elderly widower with a heart condition, is visited by his grandson Shane. A young man, Colin, tells several male members of staff that he's in love with them.

The child-minder arrives at the ward, saying she has found another client, and leaves Rosie there, so the staff have to hide her from Karen Newburn for the rest of the day. Julie tells Jasmine Hopkins that she is thinking of taking another, part-time job to get more money. Carl and Jasmine argue about her work, and he hits her, though apologises immediately; she tells him to leave. Christine, a young woman recently returned from honeymoon, is rushed in, having contracted a virus that has caused her heart to enlarge. Her treatment causes conflict between Anton Meyer and Muriel McKendrick, as Anton suspects Muriel is trying to justify the split in beds between cardiac and other cases. David Cousins has come in for a long-overdue heart bypass, but Victoria Merrick spots that something is wrong and arranges at short notice for Mr. Roberts to perform another operation to correct the problem, so that the bypass can go ahead the next day.

A Jewish patient, Rachel, is in for an operation to replace a faulty heart valve, and is so outraged when she learns it will be replaced one from a pig, that she refuses to go ahead.

Victoria Merrick soon realises that he is telling the truth. The woman has a baby that she has left with some other homeless people at a squat. Some of the ward staff go with the Stranger to find the baby, because it will have the same, hereditary heart condition, and will need treatment also.

Hannah Philips arrives on Darwin Ward, accompanied by her obnoxious husband Greg; she is Anton Meyer's sister, but they don't tell anyone. Kirsty diagnoses a heart tumor, and summons Anton. After much arguing between Greg and the surgeons over whether it is ethical for Anton to operate on his own sister, particularly since he stands to gain the lion's share of her estate under her will, they decide that Anton will assist Nick, but during the operation, Anton has to take over to save Hannah's life.

Cassandra Holdsworth, a neurosurgeon friend of Mike Barratt's from medical school, is brought in to operate on a drink-drive victim, Stefan Reece. She is curt with the nursing staff, and offers Mike a one-night stand, which he declines.
b: 20 Jan 00 w: Al Hunter Ashton d: Jamie AnnettDespite having spent most of the night in the operating theater, Anton Meyer and Victoria Merrick fail to save the life of their patient.

Alistair Taylor is supposed to be covering Anton's operations, but when Taylor is absent, Alex calls upon Anton to assist in operating on a boy, Joey Simons, in an emergency, despite the risk to Anton's career. The board's conclusions exonerate Anton, but place a restriction on his future work that he finds insufferable, and resigns to head a team in Michigan developing an artificial heart, making Alex an offer he can't refuse. Owen Davis throws a house-warming party, where he asks Chrissie Williams to move in too, but she is too unsure to agree. Diane Lloyd pulls Danny Shaughnessy and Lisa Fox pulls Mubbs Hussein. With the Consultant Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon position now fallen vacant, Tom Campbell-Gore decides to apply.

Despite the tremor, Alex operates on Andy Bowen, a man with a heart condition, who has a daughter keen to use his recuperation to get her separated parents back together. A beautiful Romanian, Irina Grosna, is in for a heart operation, but Ed Keating thinks she is not well enough, which means that she will have to return home, and stay on medication for life.
b: 29 Apr 03 w: Stuart Morris d: Simon Meyers p: Rebecca HedderlyLisa Fox's first day in her new job in the Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) is a dramatic one: an elderly patient, Reg Vaughan, is brought in with multiple injuries following an assault, and is then stabbed by an intruder. Lisa apprehends the assailant until Security arrive, while Jess Griffin organises emergency medical attention for the man. When the police arrive, it turns out that the man is a suspected pedophile, who has been attacked by vigilante members of his community; but Lisa suspects he may actually be harmless. Chrissie Davis is finding living with her mother too much to bear, and decides to move out. A woman is brought in to one of the main wards with a genetic heart condition, which may affect her daughters, one of whom was given for adoption at birth and is just re-establishing contact with her. Sally O'Toole is brought in with abdominal pains, which are diagnosed as Crohn's disease, requiring an operation that will prevent her joining her boyfriend, Cameron Andrews, in their new job at an Outward Bound center. Steve Waring is very depressed about his condition, but after Jess Grffin takes him round the hospital and Ric Griffin asks Dr. Anita Forbes to visit him, he starts to recover. Forbes bumps into Tom Campbell-Gore on her way out, with the meeting being very awkward. Steve suddenly collapses with a pulmonary embolism, and the team are unable to bring him round.
b: 6 May 03 w: Johanne McAndrew d: Keith Boak p: Paul GoodmanNew midwife Rosie Sattar starts work, and gets over-involved in the case of Sarah Cullen, a first-time mother who finds it all too much when her partner walks out. Tensions between Chrissie and Owen Davis rise when her pregnancy runs into difficulties, and she has to be kept in for observations for 24 hr. Danny Shaugnessy returns from Australia, saying that he wants to go back on an indefinite working trip. Sandy Harper takes his suggestion that she'd love it there too literally, and starts planning to join him. After a shaky start, professional relations between Jess Grifin and Lisa Fox in AAU settle down. On Keller Ward, a young police officer Lee Walmsley, brought in for assault injuries, is found to have testicular cancer, which overshadows the major professional differences with his police partner and his father. Diane Lloyd starts having attacks of dizziness and nausea.
b: 13 May 03 w: Maria Jones d: Keith Boak p: Paul GoodmanDiane Lloyd's suspicions that she is pregnant with Steve Waring's child is confirmed by Mubbs Hussein, and she immediately asks him to perform a termination that afternoon. Events conspire to make her day particularly difficult, and she is left to hold the fort while Ric Griffin goes to perform his first private operation for Marcus Denby at the Hadlington Clinic. Ric promises part of his earnings to his daughter Jess so she can pay Lisa Fox some rent. In AAU, Lisa and Jess have to cope with the distant attitude of the day's agency nurse, Dawn Smyth, who does little to help with the case of Ashley Haines, a young man brought in with multiple rib fractures, caused, he says, when he rescued a woman from a violent burglar, but his grandfather disbelieves him, and it is not until after Ash dies that the truth is confirmed to his grandfather. Two estranged brothers and their wives are in Holby at the same time: one to give birth to their first baby; and the other with their chronically sick child, who needs a bone-marrow transplant, but can't find a matching donor.
b: 20 May 03 w: Chris Webb d: Indra Bhose p: Huw Kennair-JonesAndy Adams refuses to go along with the neurospecialist's treatment for his tremor, but re-thinks what he is doing after Diane Lloyd pleads with him and he meets Victor Garrison, a Parkinson's patient who is the partner of one of Alex's patients, Lucy Emerson. When Alex has to perform a keyhole procedure on her with an audience, his assistant Ed Keating is called away, and Tom Campbell-Gore steps into the breach. Diane Lloyd is back at work very soon after the termination, and has an emotionally overwhelming day with Alex, Chrissie Davis and a demanding patient, Declan Callaghan, who case she becomes very involved with. Through the day Chrissie has increasing pains and bleeding, and goes to see Mubbs Hussein, who calls in Owen Davis to do an emergency Caesarian section. They have difficulty keeping Chrissie alive, and the baby girl is too weak to survive. Owen has to break the news to her in ITU, and Chrissie chooses to see the baby as its life support is switched off.
b: 27 May 03 w: Andrew Holden d: Indra Bhose p: Huw Kennair-JonesIt's the day of the funeral of Chrissie Davis's baby, whom she has named Amanda, and she comes into work. Chrissie has asked her mother to make the funeral arrangements, but then tells her that she doesn't want her or Owen to come, though they do. A young man, Nigel Kimber, is in for a dual live-donor lung transplant, from the women he thinks are his mother and aunt, though in reality their relationships are aunt and mother. The 'aunt' has a stomach condition she doesn't mention, which causes a contingency in the operating theatre, in which Alex Adams questions Tom Campbell-Gore's clinical judgment. Alex is still taking the L-dopa medication for his possible Parkinson's, even though it's causing him severe nausea. A young woman, Holly Singleton, is admitted to AAU with an asthma attack, but it is soon realised she is going into premature labor, even though she hasn't told her overbearing mother that she is pregnant. Campbell-Gore invites Diane Lloyd to a function as his personal guest.
b: 3 Jun 03 w: Al Hunter Ashton d: Clive Arnold p: Emma TurnerThe shy, new health care assistant, Nic Yorke, sparks off a scramble between the female nurses for his attentions at work and at Lisa Fox & Jess Griffin's flat-warming party, but he seems to fancy Sandy Harper most, and gets them to offer their spare room to her instead of to him. Having not seen each other for years, Lisa's first love, David Jones, is admitted to AAU, and they have some emotionally painful catching-up to do. Ric Griffin has to perform two operations on Perry Green, a young man whose parents are going through a messy break-up. Having been precipitated into it by Ed Keating, and against his better judgment, Alex Adams operates on Kim Taylor, a lung-cancer patient who has only days to live, despite battling his increasingly severe symptoms of Parkinson's. He persuades Diane Lloyd to obtain some of the drugs to counter the condition. She is invited on a second date by Tom Campbell-Gore, but he is called back from it by the need to take over from Alex, whose symptoms suddenly worsen in mid-operation. Campbell-Gore is furious with Alex that he has continued to operate and covered up the condition, and also with Diane because she knew about it.
b: 10 Jun 03 w: Len Collin d: Clive Arnold p: Emma TurnerA new consultant anesthetist, Prof Zubin Khan, joins the Holby staff, making a decision to operate on a Congolese woman with multiple shrapnel wounds that his daughter, Sahar, had smuggled into the country. Khan persuades Ric Griffin & Tom Campbell-Gore to help perform the operation at the Hadlington. A long-term patient of Zubin's, Elizabeth Woods, is admitted to the Hadlington for a bleeding ulcer, the cause of which was unknown. She has developed a close friendship with Khan, who finds himself at odds with her domineering husband, Anthony. The operation at the Hadlington causes panic back at Holby as Campbell-Gore is required for an urgent operation. He has to talk Ed Keating through the initial process over the phone. The father of the young boy patient gets angry and rants about the cost of the NHS compared with private care.
b: 17 Jun 03 w: Tony McHale d: David Jackson p: Paul GoodmanElizabeth Woods is admitted to Holby General, under the care of Zubin Khan, and the attraction between them grows so much that he invites her out for dinner. They end up staying the night at a hotel, but when her husband phones in the morning, Khan finds out that her marriage is still intact. Tom Campbell-Gore does less than he might with the committee reviewing Alex Adams's misconduct, which decides to offer him a transfer to Outpatients instead of the sack. Diane Lloyd & Anita Forbes separately press him to make further efforts. Diane invites him to Paris for a weekend, which he accepts, causing him to withdraw his dinner invitation to Anita. After Nic Yorke kissed 3 nurses at the party, they get their revenge by giving him the worst tasks. He declares to Sandy Harper that she was the only one he really wanted to kiss, and refreshes her memory. Chrissie Davis has a stressful first day at work after her baby's funereal. A 62-year-old former wrestler, Don Holloway, is admitted to AAU, and is then found to need an emergency heart bypass operation; his much younger wife has doubts about staying with him. A woman with five children, Louise Farley, is in for a heart operation when it is found that she is pregnant again, and she decides to go ahead despite the risk to the baby, or even because of it?
b: 24 Jun 03 w: Paul Coates d: Luke Watson p: Rebecca HedderlyNOTE: This episode was the first to be aired after Laura Sadler's death, and concluded with the full-screen caption "Dedicated to Laura Sadler 1980 - 2003".
A new nurse, Kelly Yorke, starts work on Keller, and she gets on well with Sandy Harper until Sandy sees her being very friendly with Nic Yorke. Sandy fears that her budding relationship with Nic is not to be until they announce that they are brother & sister. Elizabeth Woods is brought back into Holby after an alleged mugging, with her husband keeping a close watch on her. He intimidates her into accusing Zubin Khan of rape in front of Tom Campbell-Gore, so he has to suspend Khan and call in the police, who arrest Khan when his story fails to match some important facts that they uncover independently. Chrissie Davis's mother tries some heavy-handed prompting of a reconciliation between Chrissie & Owen Davis, but Chrissie announces she wants a divorce. Owen & Ed Keating brawl as the atmosphere between them sours over a difficult operation and the memories of the Davises' baby. In Keller, a terminally-ill clergyman and his wife, the Hubbards, ask Kelly to call in their estranged gay son for a final meeting. In Maternity, a neighbor, Clive Gifford, brings in a woman in labor, Rhetta Kirkpatrick, in the absence of her feckless husband; when he arrives they immediately restart their habitual bickering.
b: 1 Jul 03 w: Martin Jameson d: Luke Watson p: Rebecca HedderlyElizabeth Woods's husband is so reluctant to leave her side that it arouses suspicions in the ward staff, especially Kath Fox, who recognises similarities with her own first marriage. espite repeated instructions from the police and Tom Campbell-Gore not to be at the hospital, Zubin Khan manages to talk to Elizabeth, and she eventually has the courage to speak the truth in front of many staff as witnesses. Ric Griffin's telephone betting on horse racing reaches stratospheric levels of finance. Campbell-Gore juggles dates with Anita Forbes and Diane Lloyd. Alex Adams faces the toughest decision of his life, on whether to undergo Charles Merrick's new brain surgery to cure his Parkinson's. Dave Ross, a recent ex-con, is in for a heart operation with Campbell-Gore & Ed Keating; he is attended by his girlfriend, Penny Rook, whose father is still inside and who recognises Ed from the visiting room there. Ross confesses to her that his love for her had led him to an extreme course of action. Diane operates on an RTA victim, Annie Meredith, who develops heart complications - this is not helped by arguments with her daughter Abigail, who announces that she is pregnant, which prompts the mother to divulge a family secret she has been harboring for many years.
b: 8 Jul 03 w: Al Hunter Ashton & Si Spencer d: Sean Geoghegan p: Paul GoodmanAlex Adams undergoes the new brain surgery at the Hadlington with Charles Merrick. Diane Lloyd comes along to steady Alex's nerves, and he asks her to attend the operation to observe. Rosie Sattar's morals are tested when she deals with an illegal surrogate pregnancy, being carried by Sinead Quinlan for her employers, the Gills. Meanwhile her husband, Sami, is in for a sperm test, to try to discover why she has been unable to conceive again recently. Tricia Williams interferes with Owen Davis's attempts at reconciliation with Chrissie, and even tries to seduce him. Ric Griffin has better luck with the horses. Kelly Yorke finds a flat for her and Nic to move into; he reluctantly agrees. She is distracted by argueing relatives and at a critical time takes her eye off a patient she has been assigned to watch carefully: Maria Locke was brought in with a severe bleeding ulcer, caused or exacerbated by extreme worry - it is only now that her husband finds out the cause.
b: 15 Jul 03 w: Rob Fraser d: Sean Geoghegan p: Paul GoodmanTricia Williams is assigned to be Owen Davis's new PA, but she tries to do the nurses' job for them, which stirs Rosie Sattar's resentment, as well as the awkwardness with Owen after their recent kiss. In Maternity Nina Sharma is admitted to investigate the cause of her abdominal pain, which is found to be adhesions caused by a chlamydia infection, which has to be notified to her boyfriend, and his wife, who is her boss. Tom Campbell-Gore is juggling Diane lloyd and Anita Forbes, and tries not to persuade Anita from taking up her offer of a place at Columbia University in New York. Sara Palmer, a woman with a dangerously advanced cyst, who has failed to keep her previous appointment for it to be removed, is brought in, accompanied by her heroin addict daughter Chloe. It's Leo Griffin's first day shadowing Prof Khan, which his father Ric only learns of when they both turn up at the operation on the woman; their relationship is no better than in the past. The operation does not go smoothly, and the daughter is so panicked she escapes into another fix. Leo discovers Chloe in a stairwell, and confiscates her gear, but then uses it himself. Owen and Tricia's mutual attraction is rekindled with greater vigor.
b: 22 Jul 03 w: Ginnie Hole d: Ian Barnes p: Huw Kennair-JonesTom Campbell-Gore does something surprisingly romantic to stop Anita Forbes going to New York to take up her new position, but stands up Diane Lloyd in the process. Ric Griffin is devastated when his son Leo is admitted to the hospital with suspected pneumonia, but with traces of heroin in his blood. A life-and-death operation on him is then required, where Alex Adams makes a frightening discovery, just as he's about to get back into the operating theater for the first time since his brain operation. Jack Swan is brought in having suffered accidental injuries when he blacked out, which is traced to the painkillers he had been taking, which have also had a more insidious affect. Sophie Mitchell is in Maternity for an operation to remove fibroids, but when her 18-year-old daughter Debbie comes to visit, it's found that Debbie is pregnant.
b: 29 Jul 03 w: Aileen Goss d: Ian Barnes p: Huw Kennair-JonesAlex Adams attends his father's funeral, and has a very uncomfortable reunion with his estranged family, especially his brother Peter, though he gets on better with his former girlfriend and now sister-in-law, Jenny. He is feeling so depressed about his recurring Parkinson's, and uncertain what to do with the rest of his life, that Diane Lloyd & Jess Griffin travel out to find him. Back at Holby, Nic Yorke feels unsupported by his sister Kelly. A young woman, Ali Burton, is in for an operation to remove an intestinal tumor, but her sister Gaby is highly concerned about the operation, since their mother died while being operated on for the same condition.
b: 5 Aug 03 w: Leslie Stewart d: Clive Arnold p: Emma TurnerAlex Adams returns to Holby to face a future without surgery, but despite having to intervene in an operation, against official instructions, he decides to leave the hospital. Ric Griffin has been acting Clinical Director, and is unofficially told that he is to be given the post permanently. Owen Davis finally signs his divorce papers, with a little help from Tricia Williams. Nic Yorke is invited on a special 'night-in' date by Sandy Harper. In Maternity, Pam Wilkinson, a 53-year-old first-time mother-to-be, has pre-eclampsia, and has to have her baby delivered by Caesarian, despite the all-round reluctance of the father. On the main wards, an RTA victim, Andrew Murray, is in the middle of an operation, when it is found that he is not who he has claimed to be; and a young woman, Linda Donnelly, is brought in after a botched liposuction treatment she had on holiday in Spain.
b: 6 Aug 03 w: Nick Saltrese d: Dominic Keavey p: Rebecca HedderlyRic Griffin is formally appointed the new Clinical Director, and one of his first tasks is to smooth over the nurses' ill-feeling over Diane Lloyd's remarks about their incompetence in the recent death of patient Sara Palmer. Life is further complicated by the team conducting a formal inspection of the hospital reaching Keller & Darwin. Lisa Fox decides to undertake the task of RCN representative. Mubbs Hussein's parents set him up on a blind date with a distant cousin, Nat, but he rejects the idea of settling down any time soon. Owen Davis and Tricia Williams go back to the flat she now shares with her daughter Chrissie for an afternoon of love, but Chrissie's day goes from bad to worse, and she decides to go home early. Heart patient Alan Knox is readmitted for surgery, but Zubin Khan finds he has too high a temperature for a general anesthetic, and tries an unorthodox method of cooling him down. Patrick Sanders is brought in with a badly crushed arm by his sister, with whom he has had a strained relationship since her fiancè was killed on his motorbike. In Maternity, Dee Parr is accompanied by the other three members of her 'open relationship', which appeals to Mubbs, until things start to unwind.
b: 12 Aug 03 w: Paul Coates d: Dominic Keavey p: Rebecca HedderlyThe recent unexplained death of the patient Sara Palmer puts Ric Griffin & Zubin Khan under mounting pressure, when it is found that the morphine pump used was not faulty. Owen Davis tells Tricia Williams he wants to put some distance between them, so she applies to become Ric's PA. Three RTA victims are brought in: Len Betchley, the driver who had been drinking, with lung damage; Sonia Shaw, his pregnant fiancée; and Val Brennon, the pedestrian who was hit by the vehicle, with a ruptured spleen. Zubin is hard-pressed to stay professionally detatched, since his wife was killed by a drunk driver five years previously. The trauma induces an early labor, which the baby doesn't survive. The victim turns out to have an even more serious injury.
b: 19 Aug 03 w: Andrea Earl d: David Jackson p: Paul GoodmanThe pressure piles up on Kath Fox relentlessly during the day: a cantankerous old patient who won't take her medication, continual snide remarks from Lisa Fox, criticisms from Kelly Yorke, and a gruelling interview with a panel lead by Helen Grant, in which she makes insinuations about the number of patients who have recently died under Kath's care. Kath eventually tells Ric Griffin that she's quitting. Rosie & Sami Sattar take Mubbs Hussein on a blind date with their friend Uma Karim, but things don't go smoothly when Mubbs suggests taking her to a lap-dancing club. A prisoner, Stella Chadwick, is brought in for an emergency operation to remove two swallowed razor blades, and is put on Keller to recover, under Kath's charge. An exotic dancer, Crystal Fallon, is brought into Maternity by her concerned boss, who soon has a surprise.
b: 2 Sep 03 w: Len Collin d: David Jackson p: Paul GoodmanJess Griffin finds a newspaper reporter on her doorstep looking for Sandy Harper, who seems to have disappeared. It turns out that Sandy has won a major lottery prize, and she has already departed for Australia, but not before leaving significant amounts for several of her colleagues. Chloe Palmer is brought in with a severe abcess, needing surgery. She is the daughter of Sara Palmer, whose recent death is the subject of a continuing investigation. Ric Griffin persuades Kath Fox to return to work, but then changes his mind and asks her to take some holiday, when Palmer and her relatives discover that she has been put in the same room where her mother died, despite Kath's best efforts to find an alternative. At the same time on Keller is Amir Irani, a man with appendicitis that Ric discovers on the operating table also has terminal abdominal cancer. Irani's desire to know before he dies whether his daughter is really his causes deep ructions with her. Mubbs Hussein throws caution to the winds when he has to save the life of an HIV-positive patient, Ginny Osbourne. Rosie Sattar suspects that it was because he wanted to impress Rubinda Shah, who is observing in Maternity for the day.
b: 9 Sep 03 w: Ed Jones d: Michael Offer p: Pam Fraser SolomonIn the wake of a major rail crash, the wards are full, and the staff overloaded, especially Ric Griffin. Mubbs Hussein's date lets him down at the last minute, so he persuades Rosie Sattar to pretend to be his date, to meet his parents. One of the crash victims, Jason Rees, appears to be in total shock after the death of his wife, hardly acknowledging the severe injuries he received, and refusing to come to terms with being a father, the baby having been delivered at the scene as the mother was dying. Zubin Khan treats a patient, Caroline Dewer, who is a professional escort, for whom he has been a client. She is pregnant, possibly by Zubin, and the pregnancy will be jeopardised by the operation she needs. Unfortunately, she has Bernie 'The Butcher' Farraday to perform it, and when he botches things, Zubin complains to him and to Ric. In Maternity, Nina Hargreaves starts giving birth prematurely, while attending an ante-natal class. While in labor, she springs another surprise on her husband.
b: 16 Sep 03 w: Matthew Hall d: Michael Offer p: Pam Fraser SolomonOwen Davis & Tricia Williams return from their holiday together, and deliberately enter the Holby premises separately. Kath Fox returns from her enforced leave to find an overly competent Kelly Yorke seemingly after her job. When Ed Keating sees them, Tricia's holiday snaps threaten to make public her relationship with Owen. Beth Oliver has severe abdominal bleeding, and on the operating table is found to have shrunken kidneys. During the surgery, surgeon Richard Smedley increasingly annoys Diane Lloyd. Ric Griffin eventually finds out what drugs Beth has been on and why, and puts her on an alternative, but shortly after, she dies from cardiac arrest - another death on Kath Shaughnessy's ward. In Maternity, Jodie Lewis, a woman with a weak heart, has her baby by Cesarian, followed by a cardiac arrest, which substantially worsens her already poor state of health. She is keen for her husband to get together with her sister Louise, to give the baby a mother and father after she dies. In the evening, after work, several of the surgeons attend a charity ball, at which Ric Griffin successfully bids £3000 he doesn't have on a TV for his daughter's birthday present, and Zubin Khan comes to the rescue of Caroline Dewer, who is there professionally accompanying Smedley.
b: 23 Sep 03 w: Debbie O'Malley d: Luke Watson p: Huw Kennair-JonesRic Griffin is worried because the cheque for the TV has bounced, meaning he can't afford to get his daughter Jess a decent present for her 21st birthday. Jess and the other nurses spend the day preparing for her party, inviting all the eligible men they can find. Owen Davis takes Tricia Williams, but when Chrissie (who is now his ex-wife, as their divorce has just completed) arrives, he spends more time with her, and they end up getting passionate in one of the bedrooms. Ric is in another bedroom smoking dope on top of his champagne consumption, when Kelly Yorke comes in. He bemoans the terrible day he's had, and when she can't cheer him up, starts kissing him, at which point Lisa Fox stumbles in. Shortly after, he's called back to Holby to be given the results of the post-mortem on Beth Oliver, which shows that she had been given a large amount of insulin in her intravenous drip. On Darwin Ward, Billy Harvey is being admitted following a severe angina attack, when he spots his estranged daughter Rachel on her way into Maternity. She is there for a pregnancy test, wanting an immediate termination. When she still doesn't want to talk to him, it exacerbates his condition: he tries walking down to see her to apologise for his part in the death of her first child. Dean Shepherd is brought in to Keller Ward with abdominal pain, which is soon found to be from a hole in the bowel associated with a large tumor. Ric Griffin and Diane Lloyd have a hard task persuading him to consent to an operation, and only succeed because his ex-girlfriend, Karen Edwards, promises to stay until he comes round afterwards, though after he goes into theater, she changes her mind.
b: 30 Sep 03 w: Stuart Morris d: Luke Watson p: Huw Kennair-Jones

b: 11 Nov 03 w: Patrick Spence d: Keith Boak p: Rebecca HedderlyRosie Sattar is distraught when her daughter Nadia is admitted to Holby City's AAU after an overdose of her mother's iron tablets. Mubbs Hussein takes a keen interest in her progress, tempered only by the possible rapprochment between Rosie and her husband Sami. Nic Yorke's arrest seems to have been in vain after it is realsied that Colin Long's death was suspicious, and he is released from prison and the charges dropped. Ric Griffin and Zubin Khan have to explain to Colin Long's father that there is some uncertainty about his son's death. An ulcer patient, Ray King, has a close call with death after the Keller Ward killer gives him a morphine dose just before Kath Fox administers one, producing a near-fatal overdose.

In Maternity, mother-to-be Pippa Barratt consults Mubbs about whether her baby has inherited Huntington's disease from the father who is as yet untested. Kelly is increasingly desperate to tell her brother Nic what she has been doing, and when she does, and tells him that they have to leave and make a new life elsewhere, he is devastated and refuses to go with her.

He talks her into returning to Holby, and after leaving him at the hospital for a date with Jess Griffin, she goes to visit their mother from whom they have been estranged for years. Meanwhile, at the hospital a family are brought in after a road traffic accident, with at least two of them severely injured, needing immediate life-saving surgery. At that moment, Tom Campbell-Gore walks in through the door, having broken off his relationship with Anita Forbes in New York, and returned to a new ost at Holby.

b: 2 Dec 03 w: Andrew Holden d: Michael Offer p: Huw Kennair-JonesEve Hatton, a former model, is in Maternity for a check-up, but Rosie Sattar thinks she and the baby are underweight, and birth has to be induced that day, which is overseen by the woman's husband who repeatedly berates her for not eating enough during the pregnancy. Mubbs Hussein takes his coming date with Rosie too seriously for her, but they end up at her house with a take-away Chinese meal, which gets left on the table as their passion carries them away.

Vicky Johnston, a woman with severe Peripheral Vascular Disease being looked after by her overstressed son, undergoes surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg. Meanwhile, an unknown woman is brought into the hospital with near-fatal stab wounds, having been left for dead in a street. Tom Campbell-Gore and Diane Lloyd save her life in theater, but Tom later complains to Ric Griffin about Diane's attitude. When the patient is brought onto the ward to recover, Nic Yorke recognises her as his mother, and immediately realises that Kelly must be responsible. He confronts Kelly, and she says she will confess all to the police, but shortly after interferes with her mother's life-support equipment. Kath Fox interrupts her, but too late to save the patient's life, and follows her as she flees through the hospital, confronting her alone in an empty room, where Kelly stabs her to make a get-away.
b: 9 Dec 03 w: Andrea Earl d: Michael Offer p: Huw Kennair-JonesZubin Khan finds Kath Fox bleeding badly in an empty room at the hospital. Nic Yorke keeps a vigil by his mother's bedside till she regains consciousness, and she confirms Kelly's story of her leaving them to the predations of their father. Tom Campbell-Gore thinks Ric Griffin and Zubin are ganging up on him when he flexes his muscles and is put in his place by the big guns. Tricia Williams returns to complete a nursing refresher course and is stuck with her daughter Chrissie, with whom her manner causes friction. Nic goes round to see Kelly at her flat, to find her in the living room with the gas on. When he switches the light on, it ignites, and he is badly injured.
b: 16 Dec 03 w: Julia Wall d: James Strong p: Emma TurnerNic and Kelly Yorke are brought in to Holby City, fighting for their lives: Nic is the more severely injured, and is put in the Intensive Treatment Unit; Kelly is in a side-room of Darwin, with a police guard on the door. Their mother has recovered sufficiently to visit them both. Kath Fox continues her recovery, but still manages to oversee activities on the ward from her sickbed. Ric Griffin has to meet with his bankruptcy administrator, and Zubin Khan goes along to provide moral support, but is astounded to learn that Ric's debts total £150,000. Tom Campbell-Gore hosts a party at which Tricia Williams disgraces herself, getting very drunk. In Maternity, a homeless mother-to-be, Millie Strachan, is befriended by Joe West, who has just lost his father to cancer at the hospital.
b: 23 Dec 03 w: Leslie Stewart d: James Strong p: Emma TurnerWith his life hanging in the balance, Nic Yorke makes an emotional request to see his sister before she is moved out to a secure hospital. While speaking with her, his condition deteriorates rapidly, and he dies in theater. Rosie Sattar passes up spending New Year's Eve with Mubbs Hussein in order to be with her children, and the opportunity to tell her separated husband Sami how she feels. So Mubbs sees in the New Year together with Chrissie Williams, instead. Diane Lloyd unthinkingly lends Ric Griffin her credit card and he uses it for an on-line gambling session. A hard drinker, Eddie Franks, is in because of an accident; during examination, Ric finds he has terminal liver disease, which the man's new fiancée, Anne Fryer, can't handle. In Maternity, Ruth Carmichael has a traumatic birth, not helped by trying to shake off the baby's father, her ex-boyfriend Clive Phillips.

Ed Keating visits his father in prison, and learns that he will be released on parole in a few weeks. Tom Campbell-Gore is keen to use a heart that is available at Holby on one of Holby's patients, rather than let it go to another hospital, as demanded by the official allocation system. It falls to an unfortunate hospital administrator, Susan Green, to try to keep things done by the book. In Maternity, when some minor surgery is required to assist the birth, the father passes out at the sight of the blood.
b: 6 Jan 04 w: Debbie O'Malley d: Indra Bhose p: Paul GoodmanEllis Morgan is a heart patient with terminal cancer, who wants Ric Griffin to perform a high-risk operation to remove the primary tumor to extend his life. Ric is initially unsure whether to do it, and Diane Lloyd is even more unsure, suspecting that Ric's willingness to be persuaded is financially motivated, as it will be a private operation, the fee for which will get him out of his immediate problems. She confides her fears in Tom Campbell-Gore, who offers to help Ric with his addiction. Ric is angry at her betrayal of confidence, and later admits to Zubin Khan that he took the risk on the operation for kicks. Meanwhile, Tom is called away to operate on the heart of Jimmy Taylor, a man admitted with chest pains, but who left when Tricia Williams told him it was probably indigestion. In Maternity, Mubbs Hussein makes a hasty decision, against Rosie Sattar's cautioning, that ends up costing the life of the premature baby of mysterious mother Emma Bennet.
b: 13 Jan 04 w: Martin Jameson & Al Hunter Ashton d: Keith Boak p: Sharon HughffZubin Khan persuades Ric Griffin to see a psychiatrist about his gambling addiction, after Ric takes a risk with the life of a patient by operating on her without a supply of tranfusable blood. Jess Griffin debates about whether to go to Nic Yorke's funeral, despite her father initially warning her against it. A heart becomes available from a road death victim; Tom Campbell-Gore is so keen to sieze on the chance to save a patient of his, Billy, that he is deceitful about the situation on the permission when the donor's mother tries to change her mind. Zubin is angry when he finds himself answerable to the relatives for this trickery.
b: 20 Jan 04 w: Paul Coates d: Keith Boak p: Sharon HughffIt's Nic Yorke's funeral, and Jess Griffin is the only one from the hospital to attend, though there's also his mother, and his sister under guard. On return to the hospital, Jess is upset with the other staff, and then visits Kelly in prison. When she returns, there comes news aout Kelly. There's a tense confrontation between Mubbs Hussein and Sami Sattar, which results in Sami punching Mubbs, and Sami then disappearing with the two children, without telling Rosie where he's taking them.

b: 3 Feb 04 w: Helen Slavin d: Clive Arnold p: Huw Kennair-JonesSami Sattar finally returns the children to Rosie, but says he wants a divorce. Ed Keating's father is released from prison, and takes up his son's offer of a place to stay.

b: 17 Feb 04 w: Julia Wall d: Audrey Cooke p: Emma Kingsman-LloydHolby City and especially its AAU are stretched to breaking point with a flood of patients, after a balcony collapses at a night club, and both doctors and nurses have to work deep into the night. Ed Keating brings his father in suferring from chest pains and shortness of breath; the diagnosis and treatment of his condition pushes to the brink the professional relationship between Ed and Tom Campbell-Gore. Kate Lewis is brought in with chest pains which are diagnosed to be Marfan's Syndrome, which requires a risky heart operation. Claudia Marsh is brought in to AAU from the night club with puzzling symptoms. An unknown man, given the provisional name of "John Smith", is brought in, in a bad state; when the team is unable to save his life, Diane Lloyd takes it badly and personally.
b: 24 Feb 04 w: Stuart Morris d: Michael Offer p: Michael OfferGeorge Keating's recovery from surgery does not go according to plan, resulting in enormous friction between his son Ed and Tom Campbell-Gore; he ends up being put on the heart transplant waiting list. Rosie Sattar's gets the bill for the legal aspect of her custody battle, which Mubbs Hussein offers to pay, but first they must convince the authorities that they can look after the two girls. After Kath Fox lets on that she has recently met someone, Diane Lloyd's dating takes a serious turn, as she starts flirting with new doctor Peter Hodges. The two of them have to deal with the case of a middle-aged male patient accompanied by a young girl, aspects of which cause Diane concern. Ed and Tom also deal with a young boxer, Bradley Norris, who is not honest about the medical history of his heart problem. In Maternity, when patient Sylvia Dyson receives the diagnosis of an ovarian cancer, it prompts a debate with her boyfriend Phil Grant over their future, that leads to a parting.
b: 2 Mar 04 w: Adrian Pagan d: Michael Offer p: Michael OfferNow that his father's need for a heart transplant is reaching the point of no return, Ed Keating in desperation suppresses contra-indicating medical evidence, with Tom Campbell-Gore's connivance. But there is another candidate for the transplant, Ron Collins, and when Zubin Khan spots the problem with George Keating, he chooses Collins for the transplant. Mubbs Hussein has to reassure Rosie Sattar about their future, and that of her daughters. Diane Lloyd has another low-key date with new doctor Peter Hodges that leaves her slightly puzzled. Robert Pullman is admitted seriously injured in a car accident, in which his girlfriend was killed; her mother is desperate to know what happened. In Maternity, Carol Hughes is admitted with pre-eclampsia, which causes her to lose the baby, and triggers a split with her husband.
b: 9 Mar 04 w: Matthew Hall d: David Jackson p: Sharon HughffIt's the first day at Holby for two new nurses. Donna Jackson comes in late to Keller Ward after spending the night with Peter Hodges; Diane Lloyd is shocked when she finds out and ends things with him. Kath Fox has two surprises: Ric Griffin suggests she might apply for a desk job as the new Clinical Matron, and Larry Phillips suggests they fly away on a spontaneous holiday. The other new recruit, Mickie Hendrie, in Maternity has a baptism of fire, when she supports the desire of a patient, Keesha Richards, with an impending breach birth to have a normal delivery, rather than the Cesarian recommended by Mubbs Hussein. When she is escorting the patient in the hospital, the patient falls and goes into labor, and Mickie has to do some emergency care before she can be taken into theater. Mubbs blames her for what is nearly a serious outcome. Jess Griffin falls for the charms and attentions of Robert Pullman, the patient recovering from a car accident, and at his request does something professionally unethical. On Keller, Howard Martin is in for a leg blood vessel graft, but his situation is not helped by squabbling between his fiancée and his son.
b: 16 Mar 04 w: Debbie O'Malley d: David Jackson p: Sharon HughffRic Griffin is not happy about his daughter Jess's new boyfriend, the rapidly recovering Robert Pullman, nor with Tom Campbell-Gore's return to Consultant status. Kath Fox has her interview for the Clinical Matron post, but so does Chrissie Williams. Tom takes an unsuccessful risk giving a lung transplant to a young woman, Heather Palfrey, who has a premonition about not survivng, and persuades her twin sister to swap places surreptitiously at the last minute. Jack Fenton is in for investigation, which Ric Griffin finds to be a rare cancer, that he suspects was caused by some now-banned chemical that the patient may have encountered at work. In Maternity, it's Mickie Hendrie's first solo birth, and Owen Davis gives her free rein to deal with a couple who are reluctant to be delivering in a hospital.
b: 23 Mar 04 w: Paul Cornell d: James Strong p: Chris BallantyneKath Fox reaches a crossroads in her life as she has doubts about taking the Clinical Matron job, and decides to do something completely different with her life, possibly with Larry Phillips. Donna Jackson instigates a leaving party for her in the bar, where Kath has an emotional parting with Lisa Fox, having told her the truth about her father's death. George Keating finally gets his heart transplant, but only after Ed Keating plays loose with the paperwork for the clinical decision again, with Tom Capbell-Gore colluding. Rosie Sattar and Mubbs Hussein break up, after he loses his temper with her daughters. Jess Griffin has enough of the attentions of Robert Pullman, and breaks up with him. In Maternity, Lilly Morton & Carl Stoves face a difficult decision about whether to have a baby by IVF, fertilised with her late husband's sperm.
b: 30 Mar 04 w: Paul Coates d: James Strong p: Chris BallantyneOwen Davis misreads Mickie Hendrie's intentions when she invites him for a drink to discuss some questions she has. Ed Keating doesn't misread Donna Jackson when she invites him for a drink, after he has one of the most stressful days of his professional life. Ed is incensed when a lab technician, Ranklin, tries to blackmail him over the altered test results that allowed the heart transplant operation on Ed's father to proceed; Tom Campbell-Gore then tries to distance himself from what Ed did. Tom and Ed have to handle the case of a young woman, Elinor Morton, who is admitted with mysterious high blood pressure, panicky demeanor and a heart problem that develops before their eyes; they call on Ric Griffin to remove an object from her stomach, which turns out to be a packet of cocaine. When Robert Pullman is readmitted, with what he claims is a bicycle accident injury, Ric is suspicious that it is self-inflicted. In Maternity, a school-girl called Tania Burgess is admitted, accompanied by one of her teachers, Peter Royse, who may have had a role in her pregnancy, which Owen diagnoses promptly.
b: 6 Apr 04 w: Julia Wall d: Indra Bhose p: Emma Kingsman-LloydMubbs Hussein has moved out of his flat, and decides to apply for a job elsewhere, but Rosie Sattar persuades him to stay at Holby and return to the flat, when she tells him she loves him, in the car park. Lisa Fox bumps into Owen Davis ordering a drink in the bar after work, and they decide to spend the evening together. Tom Campbell-Gore proposes performing a heart bypass operation using only epidural anesthesia, on a patient not strong enough for general anesthetic, and bamboozles Paul Rose into taking part, without informing Zubin Khan, who is extremely upset when he finds out. The patient, Glen Holiwell, has trouble with two girlfriends. Glen Holiwell is in for thoracic pain, which Ric Griffin diagnoses as damage to the esophagus, but the patient turns out to be bulimic, which is spotted by Donna Jackson. In Maternity, Alison Gray has a miscarriage, which Mubbs realises is caused by a condition which appears similar to the early stages of the multiple sclerosis that she has been diagnosed with, and is able to prescribe the simple treatment, but her relationship with her boyfriend, David Knowles, is not so easy to fix.
b: 13 Apr 04 w: Paula Webb d: Indra Bhose p: Emma Kingsman-LloydDiane Lloyd visits an army field hospital during a live-fire exercise, to advise on surgical techniques, but witnesses bullying among the soldiers, which results in one of the soldiers being shot for real, and then there is a substantial accident which calls upon all her surgical skills. In Maternity, Madu Vidyarthi, a woman with a weak heart who has got pregnant again against Owen Davis's advice, is in to give birth. When Mubbs Hussein calls Owen in to assist in the complex case, Lisa Fox comes in too and is obliged to tell him that Owen has been drinking, and is therefore not in a fit state to be operating, so Mubbs has to handle it himself with just advice from Owen. Lisa persuades Mubbs not to report Owen's drunkeness to the authorities.
b: 20 Apr 04 w: Len Collin d: James Erskine p: Huw Kennair-JonesAt Ric Griffin's bankruptcy court hearing he is given the maximum non-custodial sentence, which he tries to gloss over with his daughter Jess. As Jess goes home to relax after a stressful day, she is greeted by Robert Pullman, who accompanies her home against her instincts. Later he lets himself into her flat with keys that he had stolen from her, and tells her that he deliberately caused the accident that killed his gorlfriend, and strikes her during a heated exchange. When Donna comes home a fight he becomes increasingly violent, and gets pushed through a glass door, causing massive bleeding. He is taken to Holby, where Ric saves his life on the operating table, before he learns exactly what had happened. Ric also has to deal with Chantelle Mills, a young woman night-club singer with severe abdominal pains, which he and Diane Lloyd discover to be Crohn's Disease, a diagnosis that is not welcomed by her pushy mother and manager Mike Drummond. In Maternity there is a day of needling between Mubbs Hussein and Owen Davis, especially over Rosanna Webb, a woman in the early stages of pregnancy, that is diagnosed as ectopic, caused by syphilis which she has caught from her creepy, philandering boyfriend, Phil Locke.
b: 27 Apr 04 w: Rob Fraser d: Simon Meyers p: Sharon HughffNew registrar Will Curtis arrives on his first day, and acts with a confidence verging on arrogancy. Diane Lloyd asks Owen Davis out, and he accepts. He and Mubbs Hussein reconcile their differences. The diseased heart that George Keating was given requires further surgery, but the treatment for the CMV from his heart donor arouses Zubin Khan's suspicions, which makes things difficult for Ed & Tom Campbell-Gore; Will finds himself caught in the crossfire, and comes to Ed's rescue. In Maternity, Avril Coulter gives birth, but has to come with her needy son Russell being in the hospital too, with some injuries, but who is disturbingly self-centered, to the point of endangering others.
b: 4 May 04 w: Peter Jukes d: Simon Meyers p: Sharon HughffFaruq Ahmed is a heart patient of Ed Keating's, who has difficulty taking all his medications. Ed is keen for him to have a transplant, but Tom Campbell-Gore recommends waiting and trying other treatments first. Ed's case is not helped by Ahmed having driven into Tom's car in the car park. Ed takes things into his own hands to get Ahmed to the top of the candidate list for a heart that has just become available for transplant, but his method is spotted by Zubin Khan, who complains to Ric Griffin, who has to suspend Ed while an investigation is carried out. Mubbs Hussein's plans to propose to Rosie Sattar are pre-empted by events, and she decides to postpone an answer. Sami Sattar is admitted to AAU with a bleeding ulcer after a night on the town; Rosie rushes up to see him. In Maternity, Cherise Patterson's pregnancy is complicated when Mubbs spots signs of cancer that has started spreading to other organs. During his investigations she starts going into premature labor.
b: 11 May 04 w: Debbie O'Malley & Matt Parker d: Simon Massey p: Roberto TroniAt Ed Keating's suspension hearing over the case of Faruq Ahmed, Chrissie Williams, with the connivance of Tom Campbell-Gore, refuses to cover up for him, and makes her testimony, even though she knows it conflicts with his and will result in him losing his job. Tom, Ric Griffin & Zubin Khan try to separate the conjoined baby twin daughters of Mick & Georgia Sheldon. When things start going wrong, Tom tries to get their permission to continue. Though he fails to get the father's, he continues anyway. When Ric & Zubin discover this, he is forced to resign, but not before Ed confronts him over his lack of support for him, and punches him soundly on the jaw. Elsewhere, Diane Lloyd and Owen Davis diagnose that the abdominal pains of an elderly patient, Ruth Manders, are due to lithopedia; the revelation of which sends shockwaves through her relationship with her husband and their adopted daughter. Lisa Fox is given the job of Ward Sister on Keller, taking over Kath Fox's now-vacant position.
b: 18 May 04 w: Neil McKay d: Simon Massey p: Roberto TroniOn the first anniversary of the death of Chrissie Williams's baby, Amanda, shockwaves are still reverberating around Holby, as various members of staff try to offer sympathy and support. Mubbs Hussein decides it's time to tell Chrissie what only he knows: that Owen Davis was the father. It's also Lisa Fox's first day in charge of Keller Ward, and her hands are full, as Donna Jackson turns up late and gives her lip. Will Curtis has a formidable cancer patient to deal with: John Dunne, a famous medical speaker and former surgeon, who doesn't want the treatment Will recommends, because it might threaten his career. Because he has to work late, his wife ill-temperedly brings their two children to Holby to say goodnight. In Maternity, Gayle Horton comes in for a checkup, but tells Owen that she wants an abortion; later that day she appears in AAU, having been run down in a road accident. Diane Potter realises that the patient has been trying to get rid of her baby because she has been abused, and encourages her to face up to her husband. In the process, Diane reluctantly tells Owen that she was once raped. Owen tries to offer sympathy, and after initially being defensive, she invites him home to share a bottle of wine.
b: 25 May 04 w: Joe Ainsworth d: James Strong p: Huw Kennair-JonesA new heart and lung surgeon, Connie Beauchamp, arrives at Holby, to the surprise of Will Curtis, who was expecting a man. On her first day she is called upon by Ric Griffin, who has now given up the clinical directorship, to assist in an operation on Jennifer Southwell. The patient dies on the table, which Connie takes personally. Lisa Fox gives Donna Jackson a career appraisal, and despite identifying weaknesses in her job performance, which Donna tries to address, Lisa still has to reprimand her over her continuing mistakes. On Darwin Ward, Pat Cowdrey is in with a serious heart condition, but is more worried about what will happen to her teenage daughter, Kerri, and so agrees to a very risky operation proposed by Connie, to the deep concern of Will. In Maternity there is a hysterectomy patient, Eileen MacKenzie, with an apparently very cavalier attitude to sex and relationships, which causes Mickie Hendrie to think about her lack of a love life. After their night together, Owen Davis spends the day looking in vain for Diane Lloyd. When Connie visits Ric's office at the end of the day, they get carried away, but she then brings him back to earth with a bump when she tells him that she's been appointed as the new clinical director.
b: 1 Jun 04 w: Andrew Holden d: James Strong p: Huw Kennair-JonesThe new Clinical Director, Connie Beauchamp, cold shoulders Ric Griffin at work the morning after. Diane Lloyd's pregnant sister, Joanne, with whom she doesn't get on well, is brought in as an RTA victim, having been a passenger in a taxi, and she mounts a bedside vigil. Old soldier Ron Archer is in for a chest complaint, accompanied by his brother & sister-in-law, Douglas & Margaret. He confesses to her his secret of what really happened on D-Day and how he won his medal, and how he always wished he had married her. In Maternity, a lesbian couple, Claire Shelley & Nanda Veer, prove a handful for Mickie Hendrie, who also has to hide some drugs to cover up for Donna Jackson, until they are spotted by Owen Davis, so she has to dispose of them.
b: 8 Jun 04 w: Paul Coates d: Clive Arnold p: Emma Kingsman-LloydDiane Lloyd is stretched to breaking point, as her sister's condition deteriorates, eventually dying in the operating theater in front of her. Owen Davis delivers the baby successfully, but the father, Simon Parker, who has turned up, spurns the opportunity of taking on the care of the boy. Donna Jackson is suspicious that the driver of the taxi, Stuart Noble, is a drug dealer, and faking the authority, orders a urine test, which shows that he was high on speed at the time. Rosie Sattar's divorce comes through, and she wins the family home, but when she proposes that Mubbs Hssein move in with her, he appears to get cold feet. Helen Porter is brought in by her daughter Jill Spencer, with what Ric Griffin diagnoses to be a hereditary liver disease. In Maternity, teenager Michael Cole brings in his mother, Amy Cole, who is discovered to have a molar pregnancy.
b: 22 Jun 04 w: Barry Simner d: Clive Arnold p: Emma Kingsman-LloydDiane Lloyd gives herself a tough time on her first day back after three weeks caring for her baby nephew Jack. Teenager Liz Hanlon is in for what Will Curtis diagnoses to be a heart condition, but he feels he also has to provide encouragement for her ambitions in the face of her mother's disapproval. Will's bedside manner gives Connie Beauchamp cause for concern, so she orders him to go for a drink with her after work, flirts with him, and probes into his past, only to find he is an aristocrat, Lord Curtis-Harding, the son of an earl, but he declines her advances. Diane is over-keen to give Anna Jones an operation that will probably only prolong her life by a short time; meanwhile the patient drops a bombshell on her husband about the true identity of her sister. When she finally gives Diane consent for the operation she needs, Diane finds that Will has taken the vacant theater for his patient, and hers dies. Diane finally collects Jack from Maternity, which she has been using as a creche, and allows herself to be driven home by Owen Davis. In Maternity, Mila Mehta has a genetic condition which she hopes not to be passing onto her baby; Owen helps her througha difficult birth, but cannot help her deal with her partner.
b: 29 Jun 04 w: Aileen Goss d: Michael Offer p: Michael OfferConnie Beauchamp seduces Mubbs Hussein, and Zubin Khan appears to fall under her spell after she agrees to further funding for the intensive care facilities. Chrissie Williams invites Will Curtis for a drink after work, but he gets the wrong impression. The surgical team have their work cut out to cope with two patients, Matt Collins & his pregnant partner Samantha Harris, who were severely injured in a burglary; things are complicated further when someone turns up claiming to be the man's wife. Ric Griffin has to operate on a young man, Alan Wright, with severe vascular disease, almost despite the patient, who is unwilling to face reality. Mickie has to tell a young patient, Laura Innes, that she is HIV-positive, which affects Mickie deeply, so Donna Jackson invites her & Jess Griffin back to the flat, which upsets flat-mate Lisa Fox.
b: 6 Jul 04 w: Carol Ann Docherty d: Michael Offer p: Michael OfferMickie Hendrie is unsure whether to take further the kiss she shared with Donna Jackson at their late night drinking session, but Donna is sure she doesn't. Mubbs Hussein is up to his old tricks again, as he makes the most of being on a break with Rosie Sattar, to persue Connie Beachamp. Connie is going beyond the call of duty in operating on the wife of Trust board member Jeremy Hines, and Zubin Khan is initially sceptical of her motives. Diane Lloyd leaves baby Jack in the care of a child minder, and gets stuck in at work, dealing with Wes McMillan, who has a severe abscess following a liposuction operation he had in Spain; his recovery is impeeded by the bickering of his daughter and second wife. In Maternity, Mubbs handles the case of Jenny Brolin, who is being a surrogate mother for Tony & Sam Rollins, as she develops pre-eclampsia and then eclampsia, requiring a very early Cesarian delivery; Rosie tries to stay out of the relationship triangle, as Jenny Brolin tries to develop an affair with Tony Rollins, against his will.
b: 13 Jul 04 w: Carol-Ann Docherty d: David Jackson p: Roberto TroniDiane Lloyd is told by Connie Beauchamp to choose between motherhood and her career, when she is forced to look after baby Jack at work again, when her child-minder, Rachel Dennis, is called away. Young engaged couple Brendan Fletcher & Eva Lane are brought in with severe injuries after a serious fall at a buidling site. His father, Paul Fletcher, is disapproving of the relationship, and continually tries to put down Eva and her mother Sandra. But Diane & Owen Davis discover that Eva has a secret, that she has Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, an so she will not be able to have children. She has not yet told her fiance, and finally summons the courage to break off the engagement, though without telling him exactly why. Rosie Sattar guesses that there is something going on between Mubbs Hussein & Connie. In Maternity, Rosie gets trapped in a lift with Angie Stewart, who goes into labor, and her hen-pecked claustrophobic husband Doug Stewart; while trying to free them, Rosie injures her hand and Doug has to perform the delivery.
b: 20 Jul 04 w: Andrew Holden d: David Jackson p: Roberto TroniA new plastic surgeon, Carlos Fashola, a Mexican-American, arrives at Holby City, provoking mixed reactions among the staff: a hit with the women, but Will Curtis is not so taken with him. Lisa Fox gets so fed up with Donna Jackson being behind on her rent, and being so noisy late at night, that she tells her to move out immediately. After Mickie Hendrie turns down her request for somewhere to stay, a tearful Donna ends up spending the night in a Relatives Room at the hospital. Connie Beauchamp has instructed Ric Griffin to raise a cricket team as a team-building exercise, but they decide to do some team-building in the bar instead. Steph Holland & boyfriend Tez Roache are admitted with severe stab wounds after a gang territory fight. Lynn Joseph is in for some cosmetic surgery under Carlos, on a trip back to the UK from her holiday home in Minorca, but the staff eventually find out from her son that most of what she says is fantasy.

b: 27 Jul 04 w: Jeff Dodds d: Karen Stowe p: Huw Kennair-JonesJust when Owen Davis springs a nice surprise on her, Diane Lloyd's world falls apart when she receives a court summons from baby Jack's father over his custody. Under pressure from Chrissie Williams, Lisa Fox lets Donna Jacobs back into the flat, but on a rising rent to encourage her to look for somewhere else. Tricia Williams appears to be on a hiding to nothing when she sets up a date between Carlos Fashola and her daughter Chrissie Williams, and Chrissie is not amused. Small-time criminal Alan Taylor is in Holby having being badly beaten up after a dodgy deal goes wrong, and calls upon his police officer brother to help him out. Yasmin Yaqub needs a bone marrow transplant to save his life, and Connie Beauchamp persuades his ex-wife and her lover to test for being a possible donor match. In Maternity, Linda Shaw receives the news that she has an ovarian cyst and that she is pregnant with a spina bifida baby.
b: 3 Aug 04 w: Aileen Goss d: Karen Stowe p: Huw Kennair-JonesFollowing a session of community service, Ric Griffin takes part in a debate/lecture at the Holby City University Medical School on pain management with Zubin Khan, which Jess Griffin & Zubin secretly arrange for Ric's son Leo to attend. Leo is being hassled by his pregnant drug-addict girlfriend Gabby Watson, who goes into premature labor. Zubin & Jess fight to save her life and the baby's, ultimately in vain for the baby; they then decide to keep the baby a secret from Ric. While consoling Jess later, Zubin comes close to kissing her. At the hospital, Angela Pritchard is operated on by Will Curtis for a heart problem connected with her quadruple pregnancy, both of which are news for her antagonistic mother-in-law Judy.

She is rushed to theater, but loses the baby. When she comes round, Owen Davis is by her side, and says she shouldn't have worked so hard.
