Extreme Takeover, Holby Edition

Their parents ran the hospital during their life, and now that they're older, it's their turn.

Pairings are Jac/Joseph, Maddy/Linden, Connie/Sam, Diane/Ric and Chrissie/Olly.

I know I shouldn't be starting a new fic, but couldn't help myself. Expect a lot of new Holby fics, I had a random inspiration wave that went too far, now have 10 different new fic ideas. Watch this space.

I never usually start fics in this way, but there are so many characters, and it's kind of complicated, so I'm going to introduce each character.

Chapter 1: Meet Everyone.

The Strachans...

Grace Ellie Georgina Strachan is the eldest daughter of Sam and Connie Strachan. Her parents got back together when Sam returned from America, marrying when Grace was 5 years old. At the moment in time where this story is set, she is 38 years old. Unlike her mother, she didn't wait to have children, she was married to her best friend Christopher Byrne at 21, and soon after gave birth to her daughter, Katie Violet Strachan-Byrne. Her son, Michael James Strachan-Byrne, followed 5 years later. She is now a senior CT consultant, holding down the same position that her mother did for many years.

Mason Elliot Samuel Strachan is the next eldest of the Strachan children at 32 years old. He, like his father, is a playboy, and doesn't seem to want to settle down. He has a son that he hardly sees, called Brady. He is a CT registrar, having to work for his sister is not the greatest, but he is ambitious and wants her job some day.

Adelaide Elise Claudine Strachan is the youngest of the Strachan children at age 30. She has a strong desire to help people, and doesn't have the drive that Grace possesses, or the ambition that Mason has. She found her place in AAU as a registrar, this way she gets to help the people that are in need, she's right near the front line. Her caring and naive nature was always her downfall, she fell in love with a man who took advantage of her, and at 16 ended up pregnant with his child. He left her soon after, but she'll always have her daughter Isla as a reminder of what he did to her. She found true love with her brother in law Harry Byrne, and is 7 months pregnant with his child, a little boy that they'll call Kai.

The Byrnes...

Jac and Joseph married one year after his divorce from Faye. They both realised that, when everything went wrong, they always had each other. Eager to start a family as a fresh start for life, they were overjoyed when Jac fell pregnant on their honeymoon.

Christopher Elliot David Byrne was the eldest of the Byrne children, born not very long after his parents honeymoon. At age 35, he is the CEO of Holby General. With the help of his family friends and colleagues, he has made Holby the envy of the world's hospitals, making the wards centres of excellence, at the forefront of technology, earning them worldwide fame and respect from medical officials.

Olivia Jennifer Anne Byrne was the eldest of the twins, born just 14 minutes before her sister Juliet. She is a 34 year old replica of her mother, in almost every way. Even though her mother had warmed a lot, Olivia still remained the harsher of the twins. Her drive and ambition got her into a lot of trouble, but she wouldn't stop until she reached the top. And that's how she became the second senior CT consultant alongside Grace, the two of them making a brilliant power in the hospital. She doesn't intend to have children, and will use her sexuality to get her way, if need be.

Juliet Sophia Marie Byrne was the slightly younger twin. The polar opposite to her sister, Juliet is compassionate and caring, and, like Adelaide, found her way into AAU, as a consultant. Ever the Earth mother, she found herself the mother of 4 children, Charlotte, Liliana, Cameron and Tristan. Her husband was one of her oldest friends.

Harry Joseph James Byrne was the youngest of the Byrne children at age 30. He's a funny, cheeky chappy, with a great sense of humour. Ignoring the family tradition of going into CT surgery, he barged his way into General Surgery, becoming a GS registrar, even though 'Aunt Connie' called it soft. He liked it there, it was a less stressful environment on Keller than it was on Darwin, he could chat up women without his sister in law Grace tormenting him, or his sister Olivia being mean. Currently happily married to Adelaide Strachan, their son Kai is two months away from being born.

The Cullen's...

Maddy Young and Linden Cullen, the unlikeliest of couples, but very much in love. They got together after Faye and Linden's relationship headed south. She helped him through the depression he endured once Faye had left him, and he found himself loving her as much as she loved him.

Their oldest child was Finlay George Cullen, who is 33 years of age. Following in his father's footsteps, he became a consultant on AAU alongside his friend Juliet. He had the best of both from his parents, he had the social skills of his mother, combined with the intelligence from his father. This makes him a very likeable boss. More open to love than his father was, he married Cassidy Griffin when he was 25, and they welcomed Matilda and Leo into the world as their marriage continued.

Erin Rosetta Cullen was the youngest Cullen at age 28. Much like her mother used to be, she was a party animal, and enjoyed many a night out with her nurse friends. Because she was so alike to her mother, it made sense that she would take the position her mother used to have many moons ago, Senior House Officer. She flitted around from ward to ward generally, wherever she was needed. At this moment in time, she is in a relationship with her brother in law Jayden Griffin, but he's always travelling, so their relationship is struggling.

The Griffins...

Realising that life was too short to skate around each other the way they had been, Ric and Diane ended up marrying in Vegas whilst visiting there for a medical conference.

Their first child was Cassidy Rica Joanne Griffin, who was 36 years old. A brilliant actress, she was able to be harsh at times, and sometimes very sensitive to other people's emotions. But only one person saw through her. And that was her husband Finlay, the father of her children, Matilda and Leo. A GS consultant on Keller, she did her very best to make everyone feel worthwhile, like they were part of a well oiled machine. These acts of kindness earned her respect from everyone.

Taylor Leo Stephen Griffin was the next Griffin child, aged 34, he rose up the ranks very quickly, becoming a CT consultant on Keller alongside his sister. Siblings rivalry spurned them on, always reaching higher. That made them an unstoppable team. But, unfortunately, he was a lot like his father. He had three failed marriages already, and had 5 children, Megan, Rose, Scott, Scarlett and Liam.

Jayden Percival Kumi Griffin was the youngest of the Griffin children at age 28. Like Abra 'Percival' Durant, his namesake, he was slightly bizarre, and like his uncle Kumi, he was passionate about what he felt to be his homeland, Ghana. Fascinated by Africa, he took leave whenever he could, and travelled the world. When he wasn't travelling, he was doing odd jobs around the hospital as a locum, whatever needed doing, he would do. Porter jobs, handyman jobs, the occasional being a doctor. He was a slight maverick, but very loveable and funny.

And finally, the Valentines...

Even though Chrissie had miscarried his child and had a baby by another man, Oliver still loved her, and once he thought he had grown up a bit, they got together.

Showing their unity as a family, Oliver adopted little Serena Jade Williams, fathered by Anton, and her name changed to Serena Jade Valentine. He loved her as his own. Serena is now 35, and a senior nurse, transitioning into becoming a matron. It was a job she loved, so busy and chaotic. Like her mother did, she had a lot of problems with getting pregnant, but is currently on maternity leave after giving birth to her first child, a little boy called Asher, fathered by an old friend from school, her long term partner called David.

Max David Valentine was the eldest of the twins born to Oliver and Chrissie, by a meagre 12 minutes at age 31. With the natural charm from his father, he was a hit with the ladies and shared the same intelligent nature and ambition to do well. This led him to become a CT registrar, and under Grace and Olivia, he is learning from the best. Not keen to settle down, but he has his friends, like Mason, who he shares a big Bachelor Pad with.

Callie Patricia Valentine, the youngest twin and the youngest Valentine child. Intelligent like her father, but not as ambitious, she was perfectly happy with her registrar position in general surgery, but, like Max, she was learning from the best. Still young, she hasn't found that person she wants to spend the rest of her life with, but she has her eye on Taylor, even though she knows what he's like with relationships. She thinks she'll be the one to change him.

That's the end of my character introduction.

You can see why I did it now, I hope. It's a very complex story about how all of the characters are intertwined through marriages etc.

So, the next chapter will hopefully be posted tomorrow, I hoped you enjoyed this little bit, even though it's a bit tedious.

Thanks please review to let me know what you thought of the characters, and which one do you think will be your favourite
