With no mention of Lofty in this week's synopsis, I was fully prepared for a 'blink and you'll miss him' ep... I was pleasantly surprised therefore to find him cropping up not only alongside Dom (David Ames) but also in scenes with Xav (Marcus Griffiths) and Serena (Catherine Russell) that had nothing whatsoever to do with Dofty!
That said, he wasn't around for long... and the 'big secret' still looms large, though as Dom has now shared it with hiw mum, Carole (Julia Deakin), with whom he's now back on good terms, how long it will remain a secret is debatable!
Synopsis: Jac's work-life balance is called into question when her ex's new fiancée arrives at Holby with Emma in tow, and she's forced to make a career changing decision. Will life on Darwin ever be the same? While Cameron avoids talking about his mother, Serena seeks solace in an unlikely source, but as Serena's tough façade slowly unravels is grief finally catching up with her? Once Dominic gets an idea into his head there's no stopping him, so when he suspects something is going on between Carole and Hanssen it's only a matter of time before he discovers the truth.
The full episode can be viewed on BBC iPlayer until 5 September 2019 while below, with my apologies to those of the cast who have hit the cutting room floor, is the Dofty edit...
