More back story coming up, this time it's on the friendship between Archie and Will. — Personally I love how they've become close friends in the show. Some good character development between them there! xx

It had been a few days since Will's 'breakdown' and he was (somewhat) back to his normal self. He had been Partying, sleeping with strangers and staying out until the early hours.

He still had a lot on his mind and he thought drinking would make it all go away. The truth was, nothing in his head ever went away. It would just come back alongside a painful hangover the next morning.

Will had never been one to confront his problems head-on, he always had to run away.

When his Grandad died, he didn't grieve as any normal person would. He went to Cambodia for 3 months! — When his father caught him smoking, he ran away and lived rough, just to avoid being confronted and when his parents got divorced, he moved out completely.

He had his '3 step problem-solving plan' it always worked and it had done since he hit puberty.

'Get drunk, Have sex, Move on'

When Will first started in the ED, he got Toby as his first case. It was the first time he'd ever cared about a patient enough to stay on after his initial locum period.

Before that, he always said 'Here today, gone tomorrow' — Which was true, before Holby he hadn't had a permanent hospital job since becoming a registrar. (Almost 6yrs prior!)

Will was definitely spurred on by Archie's harsh words to go for a permanent role. She had commented on how he was running away, which he was doing.

Out of pure hatred for the bitch who had just had a go at him and his need to please. He turned back on his heels and headed straight for Connie's office. More sure about that job than anything.

When he sat in Connie's office filling out the application form for the consultant job, he felt more nervous than he had done in his exam. It was a huge commitment, something that he wasn't good at.

He didn't think he'd get the job but was surprised when he did. The look on Archie's face when he got it and she didn't was priceless for him.

The other reason why he did it was for Toby, who had asked him to stay.

It devastated Will when he died, it was the first time he'd ever become emotionally attached to a patient. He did eventually get over the pain, by getting under Toby's Mum.

2 months into his Holby adventure, Will moved in with Archie. A person who he thought would never be friends with him. She gave him the spare room in her apartment, to save him from living out of his car. He was living out of his car because he hadn't originally planned to stay in Holby for long.

Will hadn't had a permanent place of residence since living with his parents when he was 18. He'd always travelled. He didn't have many possessions, only clothes, a toothbrush, hairspray and his bedding.

It was a big lifestyle change. Going home to the same house at the end of every day. At first, it was a hard adjustment. Especially for Archie. She'd never had a roommate before or lived with a male.

Will was excited about being able to sleep in a bed and not on the back seat of his car. He bought himself a bed, but broke it within 2 days and now sleeps on two stacked, double mattresses on the floor.

His room acquired more furniture as the months went on. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't the tidiest person ever and his room was often a mess.

Archie hadn't learned about what type of person Will was until they started living together. On their first night as roommates, she was kept awake for hours. By the constant sound of bedsprings or the bed itself slamming against her bedroom wall.

She shortly learned that Will was a womaniser. If it wasn't the racket he made until the early hours, it was bra's left on the sofa and if it wasn't that it'd be random women hogging her bathroom when she was already late for work.

There was one benefit of living with a man. Archie was not at all feminine, right down to her dress sense. So she enjoyed sneaking into Will's room and stealing his clothes. If he was asleep when she needed an item of clothing, she challenged herself to sneak in and out of his room without waking him up. The sounds of her movements we're always drowned out by his snoring.

A few months went on and the pair finally got used to being roommates. They celebrated both of their first Christmases in Holby with a Tesco out-of-the-bag chicken and several cans of lager each, in front of the TV. They did have a Christmas tree until Archie got annoyed with the deliberate messy decorating and set it on fire.

They'd gotten used to each other's many flaws and had become good friends. A massive difference in how they were with one another when they first met.

Will now thought of Archie as a little sister. Someone who he could wind up all day long but still care for deeply. Since the stabbing, he had also become very protective of her. Especially around Connie.

He sat with her the entire time she was in the hospital. Refusing to leave her on her own. At one point everyone was certain Archie was going to die because she kept crashing. For the first time in his life, Will didn't run away. He held her hand until he knew she going to be ok.

Will had never ever said a prayer in his life but did that day and it worked. He was back to winding Archie up within 4 days, asking if she had any food in her hospital room whilst reading Vogue.

After Mason's unfortunate death, Archie was definitely depressed. She treated that man as a little brother and was one of the only staff members who bothered with him.

She had ripped up her proposal on the day of his death, thinking it was stupid before letting her guard down and hugging Will in tears.

Will later got her proposal out of the bin (when he knew she wasn't around) and taped it back together. He put it on Dylan's desk. He never told her what he did, but she was so happy when Dylan loved her paper.

All the pain in Will's life seemed to heal itself, upon seeing her reaction to his good deed. Seeing her smile was so worth sticking his hand in a bin and getting tape stuck to his arm hair (or so he told himself)
