Holby City cast had ‘absolutely no idea’ show was going to be axed

OHMYGOSSIP — Holby City’s cast had “absolutely no idea” the show was going to be axed.
The BBC medical drama – which stars Rosie Marcel, Jo Martin, and Paul Bradley, among others – will bow out on Tuesday night (29.03.22) with its last-ever episode after it was announced in June that the programme will end after 23 years, and David Ames (Dominic Copeland) admitted the show’s stars were shocked by the bombshell news.
When asked on ‘Lorraine’ if the cast got a “feeling” it was going to happen, he said: “We had absolutely no idea. Absolutely none.
“I remember I had a brief text chat with Russell T Davies about this, and he said, ‘Normally you hear a little rumbling somewhere. Somebody will know something.’ No one knew a thing. It was just one of those things.”
Show host Lorraine Kelly admitted the Holby’s axing “doesn’t make any sense whatsoever”, but she suggested the show could be re-run from the beginning after the final episode.
David admitted Tuesday night’s last ep will be a “massive tribute” to the NHS.
He said: “Loose ends will be tied, stories will be rounded off nicely. What we can look forward to is a really heartfelt … just a massive tribute to what it’s about, which is the NHS and what they do for us.”
Since he finished filming the medical drama, David has been starring in play ‘Steve’ in the West End, but he has also set his sights on TV presenting.
When asked by Lorraine if he has ever thought about presenting, he added: “I have absolutely thought about things like that.
“I’m friends with Gok [Wan] and Richard Arnold, and I admire what they do massively.
“And you, but the whole live thing kind of scares me.”
David also admitted it would be “a dream” to take part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, but he has “two left feet”.
