Production and reception
The series began airing on Tuesday nights on BBC One from 11 October 2016, and concluded on 19 December 2017.[2][65] Story conferencing for the series began on 15 March 2016.[66] Oliver Kent continued his role as the executive producer of the show until December 2016, when he was appointed Head of Continuing Drama Series for BBC Scripted Studios.[67] Simon Harper served as the series producer until December 2016, where he was then subsequently appointed acting executive producer until 8 June 2017, where he was then officially appointed the position of executive producer.[68][69] As a result of Harper's appointment, Kate Hall took over as the show's series producer.[70] The series consisted of 64 episodes.[2]
On 21 November 2017, it was announced that this series would feature an "explosive" two-part episode focusing on the proposed merger between Holby City Hospital and St. Francis Hospital.[71] Harper billed the episodes as "stunningly dramatic and moving".[71] The episodes introduce John Gaskell, portrayed by Paul McGann, and heavily focus on Jac Naylor (Marcel), Ric Griffin (Quarshie) and Henrik Hanssen (Henry). Gaskell arrives and tries to help the hospital through their challenges but creates conflict with Jac, who is battling personal and professional issues at the same time.[71] Sophie Dainty of Digital Spy reported that the hospital would be "plunged into darkness, with the greatest threat the hospital has ever experienced".[71] Harper said he was "enormously proud" of the cast, crew and head writer Andy Bayliss, the show's head writer. On the episode, Harper commented, "You'll see our NHS heroes instinctively rush towards the hospital's greatest peril yet in a story that changes lives forever".[71]
In August 2017, storylines from series 19, including Dom's domestic abuse, Jasmine's death and Mo and Mr T's relationship, were included in the longlist for Best Drama Storyline at the Inside Soap Awards.[72] Dom's domestic abuse storyline made the viewer-voted shortlist,[73] but lost out to Casualty's helicopter crash.[74] At the 2018 Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards, Peter Mattessi won the Best Long Running TV Series category for his episode "Rocket Man".[75] Holby City was shortlisted in the "Best Soap/Continuing Drama" category at the 2018 Broadcast Awards, but lost out to Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks.[76] Judges for the awards praised Jasmine's death and felt that it was "a reminder that Holby's heroes don't always save the day."[76] They also liked the hostility between Jasmine and Fran, who they called "psychologically fractured", and Fran's fall from the hospital's roof.[76]
