Holby gets a new bad guy!

Holby City welcomes a new era when icy-cold new Director of Surgery Henrik Hanssen arrives on the wards. Brought in to replace demoted Michael Spence, Henrik wastes no time in making enemies. Knowing there are tough times ahead financially, Henrik's first announcement is that he's going to be making redundancies - and nobody is safe from the axe! Not even Connie Beauchamp escapes Henrik's beady eye. But will the pair learn to work side by side, or is a rocky relationship going to cause trouble in the the hospital? Meanwhile, Joseph has cause for concern when grieving Faye tells him that her late lover Linden is the father of her unborn baby.
