Holby City: July 2009 - Episode guide
Find out what's coming up in July's visits to Holby!
Tuesday 7th July 2009
Michael puts all his efforts into looking after his daughter, Milly, who is in hospital after falling on some furniture. When Milly's treatment goes wrong, however, Michael buckles and Ric steps in. Michael is forced to thank Ric, and Annalese resolves to patch things up with Michael.
Jayne finds out about Connie and John's affair. Connie tries to explain but Jayne silences her, saying it is not a work matter. Meanwhile, Tara relives the moment that she and Elliot devised a graft for a complicated case many years ago. She admits to Elliot that she has a similar patient and needs his help. Jac goes behind Elliot's back, which leads him to reconsider Tara's offer.
Tuesday 14th July 2009
Oliver infuriates Daisha when he challenges her about errors in treating a patient. His zeal pays off when he diagnoses the patient correctly and impresses Linden. The patient then turns on Daisha, and Mark and Linden are forced to defend her. Later, Chrissie invites Oliver for a drink.
Tara and Elliot are working on a pitch to fund a new medical procedure. When Connie finds out she wants to join in but, on reflection, she decides to step aside and let Tara and Elliot have their moment of glory.
Meanwhile, Donna is surprised to see her father, Derek, on the ward. Ric discovers that Derek has cancer of the spleen, pancreas and abdominal wall – not good news, but operable.
Tuesday 21st July 2009
Ric tells Donna that Derek's cancer has spread and that the outlook is bleak. But Donna refuses to accept this and gets a second opinion from Michael. The scan, however, is no different to the previous one and Donna has to tell her father that he has terminal cancer.
Penny, meanwhile, wants to observe an operation with Jac and Connie, but misses the start due to Jac not telling her about it – she's no longer allowed to be informed. Elliot and Tara, however, let Penny join in on one of the procedures for their forthcoming operation. Elsewhere, Mark notices Chrissie and Oliver flirting and quizzes Chrissie about her feelings for him.
Tuesday 28th July 2009
Elliot agrees to participate in a press conference with Tara about the operation on Lucy, but an outraged Rob and Marcie – the parents of the girl they operated on 25 years ago – turn up.
Ric, meanwhile, decides to go against the decision of the multi-disciplinary team and agrees to an operation on Donna's father, Derek, which has little chance of success. Elsewhere, Faye questions Joseph's trust in her after a misunderstanding over a cloned credit card.
