Holby City cast reunite for the first time since show was brutally cancelled – and look completely different

FOUR Holby City favourites enjoyed a pre-Christmas reunion for the first time since the show was brutally cancelled.

The beloved BBC medical drama was unceremoniously axed back in March, but nine months later fans were treated to seeing several cast reunite on social media.

It’s the first time they have all been together since the show was axed

David Ames, who played Dom, Camilla Arfwedson, who played Zosia, Ellie Fanyinka, who played Morven and Rob Ostlere, who played Arthur caught up with each other today.

David shared snaps of the sweet reunion on his instagram account, captioning a series of photos: Christmas came early for me today.

“I met up with @robostlere and @camillakarfwedson for the first time since February 2020 and got to see @ellie_fanyinka_ too.”

It’s the first time they have all seen each other in over two years, as Rob left the show in 2016 , Ellie in 2017 and Camilla exited in 2019.

David remained in the show until the very last episode earlier this year.

The gang also met Camilla’s baby son, Auro, and took many pictures with the little one.

“Meeting gorgeous baby Auro and spending time with my favourite people was priceless. Filled with joy. Just so happy, ” David wrote.

Camilla clearly loved the reunion, commenting on the post: “Sobbbbb

😩
just the best love youuuu.”

Dawn Steele, who played Ange in the show, was not at the reunion but added: “Amazing pictures

❤

Niamh McGrady, who starred as Mary-Claire in the series, also said: “Omg omg omg

😍

The final episode of the series left viewers sobbing due to its poignant tribute to the NHS and death of a main character.

Viewers sobbed as Jac Naylor, who died in heartbreaking scenes during the episode, recognised the extraordinary work that NHS staff do in an emotional voiceover.

One fan wrote on Twitter: “Absolutely brilliant, how wonderful you championed the nhs gonna miss holby.”

A second posted: “A wonderful tribute to the NHS at the end of Holby. The BBC are mad for axing it. A show which always dealt with hard hitting topics brilliantly.”

A third said: “A final, fitting tribute to the NHS @BBCHolbyCity Congratulations to all involved. You may gone but will never be forgotten.”

In her monologue, Jac spoke of finally finding her place in the world when she walked into an operating theatre and put her skills to use saving lives.

As her colleagues went about their business in the hospital, she said: “This is what the NHS means to us, not a badge on a cabinet minister’s lapel, not a number down the side of a bus.

“It’s a nurse missing her break to sit with a lonely patient, a surgeon grinding out a 15 hour op, the sound of sirens coming to the rescue, Thursday night applause floating across the rooftops.

“It’s all of us doing the best we can in impossible circumstances. It’s something to believe in. It’s home.”

Viewers were devastated that the Beeb has pulled the plug on the medical drama after 23 years.
