Holby City: Guy returns and causes trouble with Ric?
Meanwhile Ric’s colleague Guy Self, who he isn’t exactly the best of friends with, returns to Holby for his disciplinary hearing.
A few weeks ago, Guy had an angry outburst smashing a mirror in the bathroom, which led to him being suspended.
However, Guy’s adamant that the incident wouldn’t have occurred if Ric hadn’t repeatedly tried to undermine him that day. And when Ric shows up at the hearing, Guy is annoyed.
Ric claims he was worried that Guy, who is a recovering alcoholic, was going to do an operation whilst drunk.
Later it becomes clear just how unwell Ric is and when his colleagues discover just how bad things have become, his case is made a priority.
Ric’s life hangs in the balance in a very dramatic and unexpected way. Will he survive?
