Holby City fans have been left distraught after watching the unexpected death of Dr Jasmine Burrows.

Played by Lucinda Dryzek, she became a series regular after joining the show a year ago and was half-sister to Rosie Marcel’s character Jac Naylor.

She died in Tuesday night’s episode of the BBC show after a scuffle with nurse Fran Reynolds led to her falling on a scalpel in her pocket.

A flood of emotional viewers shared their thoughts on Twitter…

After the episode was aired, Dryzek took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support.

Sharing a tribute video of some of Dr Jasmine’s highlights on the show, from happy memories to the darkest hospital dramas, the broadcaster wrote: “What a year it was for our beloved junior doctor.”
