I noticed that the supporting Holby City cast have photos and a little paragraph about the character. I think this would be a good move to do with the current cast, former cast and original cast. The article may get long though, so I'd suggest creating three separate articles for each sector of cast. Any opinions please? 79.66.151.48 08:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Should the Casualty@Holby City section of the page be supplemented to cover other cross-over plot lines? e.g.
Someone had added 'PhD' to Lola Griffin (current cast) and Victoria Merrick, Kirstie Collins & Muriel McKendrick (Original Cast). There has been no evidence from any of the episodes that these characters had a PhD, they had the title 'Dr' through their medical qualification (likely to be either 'MB ChB' or 'MBBS'), they would only have had 'PhD' after their name if they had done postgraduate research - and there is no evidence of this!!!

The cast section says Elliot Hope is played by Paul Bradley. Could someone confirm whether or not this is the same Paul Bradley whose article is linked? It says he is a film producer, not an actor. Tim from Leeds 16:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi all, I just edited the Current Cast section, removing "prev. Nurse" from Tricia, because each character's list of roles includes only those seen within the programme itself. And also, Connie was referred to as "Head of Cardiothoracic's" - ignoring the gross grammatical error, do we have proof of this? As far as I recall, we have none -- DBD 13:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ignoring the erroneous labelling of Casualty as a Holby City spin off - do we really need this section here? Both Casualty and HolbyBlue, as well as the minor characters page are all clearly linked to in the Holby template at the bottom, as well as in the body of the page itself. And I would firmly question the necessity of linking to a number of unrelated television shows purely on the basis that they share the same genre as Holby City.

Image:Holby City (logo).PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Anyone noticed that this week's (and last week's) episodes have been "filmized"? Smoothy 19:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes - looks good!
Yes, it seems that they have now switched to recording the programme on film, or at least have given it a 'filmic' look in post production, rather than the traditional look you get when recording to tape. This gives it more of an American feel which in my view doesn't suit this kind of show in the UK. Nevertheless, does this progession mean that the article's mention of a 'single camera set-up' is incorrect now? Can any film-makers comment here and/or change the article if so, as it doesn't look the show is made in the same way as it was up until mid-2007.

Changed the location of where Holby City is filmed as it previously stated in the article: "...Holby City is filmed in London at the BBC's Elstree Studios." It's a contradiction to the next sentence in the article that says it's filmed in Hertfordshire, and the article relating to Elstree Studio says it's in Hertfordshire (which is just outside of London). :) Londonsista (talk) 22:27, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Hi
Shouldn't somebody replace the character pages with a list of characters on this page? Casualty and HolbyBlue don't have individual character pages, so I don't see why this should. George.millman (talk) 22:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I see someone has changed the positions of characters Chrissie Williams, Faye Byrne and Daisha Anderson from "Ward Sister" to "Nurse Team Leader" - there has been nothing to announce this change either in the show or in any official material. BBC Holby City website still describes all three as Ward Sisters. I think this should be changed back. Skarloey (talk) 18:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
I'd like to explain my changes to the Characters section, in an attempt to stave off any reverting which may ensue simply because it has been the status quo for so long. I've taken the list of current characters and reworded it as prose, whilst also discussing the characters from the first series alongside it. I think that presenting the information in list format is problematic, as the manual of style states that prose is generally preferred to lists in articles, and almost every featured article on a TV series uses prose rather than lists. I considered removing the information altogether, as my interpretation of the various relevant policies is that, as an encyclopaedia, Wikipedia should cover the show as a whole, without giving undue weight to the current series. In discussing only the current characters, it gives the section a recentist slant, focusing in an in-universe fashion on only current events, which are prone to change frequently, and are no more notable than any of the preceding eleven series. I decided that might be too drastic, and settled for including the first series information for balance.
I've left the infobox untouched for the time being, as I appreciate that it would be impractical to attempt to list all 80 or so main cast members from the past 11 years, but perhaps that would be best replaced with a link to the characters article, or even a List of Holby City cast members article, which might, if properly sourced, be an appropriate way to present character/cast information in a table format, on a series by series basis. I'm thinking of something similar to the featured list List of Harry Potter cast members. Would anyone be interested in working on such an article? Frickative 21:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Would definitely be interested in working on a character/cast list article... I'm a sucker for lists! I'm willing to do a lot of the base work on the tables and lists themselves, it's just all the referencing that I find awkward and tedious. Skarloey (talk) 22:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

The introduction indicates this is set in the fictional city of Holby, but the last sentence of the Critical response section states that it is set in Bristol. I'm confused ... (Waterloosunset27 (talk) 13:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC))Reply
It's set in Holby, which effectively replaces Bristol on the map. Casualty, the sister show, is currently filmed in Bristol (though is moving to a new set in Cardiff). Skarloey (talk) 14:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
This should be updated as it is now on the 14th series - but when i try to do that I get an error page. -- Beardo (talk) 22:36, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I wanted to make an edit request by putting last aired date 'March 2022' Umair TCFA (talk) 13:15, 4 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
I am not a "was warrior" however if you look at X Factor it has X Factor was. So my feedback is that when a programme ceases to air it goes in the history book and becomes past. So it does warrant "was" it no longer exists. Same as X Factor in the UK no longer exists. Same as neighbours will cease production soon so it will no longer exist. Percy2345 (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
I personally disagree ifca programme ceases production then it no longer exists. It enters into the history book. Why is it different with a person though like Lovely Tom Parker. He passed away and suddenly its was. He may have passed away but his spirit lives on. If programmes stop production then thats it. Regardless of the rules. Its silly. One rule for this a different rule for that. Come on please why make it so difficult. Percy2345 (talk) 02:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
