Holby City bosses dedicated Tuesday night’s episode (1 May) to a former star who tragically took his own life.
After the credits rolled, a black screen appeared with the words written in white: “In memory of Moses Mahgoub.”
The actor, who had appeared in several episodes of the medical drama, died in February.
Following the onscreen message, Holby City stars and fans also paid tribute to the actor, who was 34 when he passed away.

Another said Moses had been “loved by many in the TV industry”.
Moses had struggled with mental health issues during his life, and had been diagnosed with depression.
Tragically, suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45, a devastating issue that Coronation Street is tackling in its upcoming Aidan Connor storyline.
