Enter Maisie Scarborough to Holby

When Henrik Hanssen enquires how Ollie is faring following his “little incident in theatre”, it is suggested matters might be helped with more people to help out.

Henrik replies that he has a solution.

“Fret not, because I’ve arranged for a locum from your old stomping ground, St Earl’s,” the Holby veteran informs Ollie.

I’ve arranged for a locum from your old stomping ground.

That new locum Maisie Scarborough (played by Katherine Jack, who has starred in The Salisbury Poisonings and Coronation Street) then appears – and going by both her and Ollie’s startled reactions, it is clear they know one another already.

It turns out Maisie and Ollie were previously in a relationship that ended badly.

Later, disturbing information about him emerges when Maisie confronts him about their night together and reveals he hit her in his sleep.

What’s really going on with Ollie? And will this force him to get the help he needs?

What do Holby City fans make of the storyline?

Anticipating events in tonight’s episodes, some fans are already intrigued about what’s happened previously between Ollie and Maisie.

Responding to a video tweet preview, one social media user wondered: “Ooooh what’s gone on between them then?”

And another Twitter user suggested the plot was evidence yet again that the series should not end.

“The BBC should never axe Holby City, there’s too much going on the soap for it to be axed,” they wrote.
