Holby City star Rosie Marcel has revealed ‘anger’ about the BBC medical show’s axing.
Last year it was announced Holby City would be coming to an end in March 2022 after 23 years on air.
As the final episode approaches, Rosie Marcel, who has played Jac Naylor since 2005, has revealed her reaction to finding out the show was ending.
She told Inside Soap: “The whole thing is really upsetting, in all honesty.
“I think the scripts are amazing, and I have no doubt in my mind that the audience is going to find the final two episodes very dramatic and fitting.
“However I can’t lie and say that I wasn’t angry about Holby ending without warning, without reprieve or the opportunity to fight.
“For this to happen at a time when we are outperforming our sister shows and EastEnders, it felt like a very big blow to all of us, and it still does.”
