On Tuesday 29th March 2022, the medical drama that has run for 23 years, drew its last breath – and it was an ending that said everything about what made Holby City so special. Here we got all that we'd hoped for beloved characters. Plus there was an emotional patient story.

BBC's Holby City is coming to an end tonight after 23 years on screen. The drama series, which follows the highs and lows of staff and patients on the wards of fictional Holby City hospital, will air its final ever episode on Tuesday night.

Holby City is coming to an end this week after 23 years and over the last couple of decades, the hospital based soap has helped give many household names a leg up in the acting industry. While fans and former cast members have lamented the hospital drama, with some of the show's most memorable characters returning for one last hurrah, it's nearly time to say goodbye. The show, which began as a spin off to Casualty in 1999, has had cameos from more than a few now very famous faces over the years.

From 1999-2022, the hospital drama was one doc appointment we were happy to keep. It began as a spin-off to Casualty but immediately set itself apart with the soap star cast, scripts that had more witty one liners and less medical jargon, and stories that made viewers come back to the Holby General ward again and again. The last episode promises more of that winning combination, as we find out the fate of much-loved surgeon Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel).
