Holby City
A visit from his cheating brother prompts Raf to pop the question…
Fredrik knows he’s up against the clock if he’s to get dad Hanssen to give his backing for the next phase of a drug trial, so he pulls out all the stops when treating Anna, a patient from his native Sweden. It soon transpires, however, that Anna is part of Fredrik’s masterplan…
When his womanising brother turns up at Holby this week, registrar Raf Di Lucca ends up making a big decision about his own love life.
Raf’s surprised when Giuseppe turns up on AAU with work colleague Cindy, who has been injured. But he’s unimpressed to discover married Giuseppe is having an affair with Cindy!
Love tangles
‘Giuseppe’s the sort who plays the field, whereas Raf’s loyal and old-fashioned when it comes to relationships,’ says Joe McFadden, who plays the doctor. ‘Raf doesn’t approve of what Giuseppe’s up to, so he appeals to his brother to stop seeing Cindy.’
Giuseppe’s love life prompts Raf to reflect on his relationship with his colleague, Essie Harrison.
‘Raf knows he could never be unfaithful,’ says Joe. ‘Through Giuseppe’s mistakes, Raf realises just how much he loves Essie and how much he wants to commit.’
Raf then stuns Essie when he gets down on one knee and proposes! But will Essie say yes?
Joe’s a busy man right now, juggling Holby with Strictly.
He says, ‘Me and my dance partner Katya Jones have been dancing round the corridors of Holby!’
