He is a spontaneous, original thinker who seldom lets rules dictate his lust for work and life. Irresistible to some, but dogmatic to others, he inspires intense loyalty and resistance with equal force. Always right, he will sullenly brood if betrayed and make life very difficult if need be; cross him at your peril.

[[John Michie]] initially portrayed Guy in ''[[Holby City]]'' from November 2013 to November 2016. He reprised his role as Guy for an additional nine episodes in 2017 and one episode in 2018. In March 2020, it was revealed in ''Holby City''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s spring trailer that Michie would make a third return to the show.
==Early life==
 
During Guy's childhood, his father died and Valerie feared that this would result in him losing ambition, and she didn't want his talent going to waste. Instead, she would constantly push him to perfection by physically harming him and even locking him in the cupboard. In turn, this turned Guy against his mother and they became estranged once he'd reached adulthood and advanced in his career in medicine.

He was estranged from Valerie for a large portion of his life after this, including his marriage to Anya and the birth of their daughter Zosia. When she eventually required care, he supported her through the bills but refused to let her have anything to do with him or Zosia.
 
==Time at Holby City Hospital (2013-16)==
 
He joined Holby City hospital in 2013 as the new CEO after [[Henrik Hanssen]] left the hospital to go back to Sweden with his son. Guy made a few changes to the wards of Holby City, which included [[Jac Naylor]] replacing [[Elliot Hope]] as Clinical Lead of Darwin.

Guy started to focus more onto the surgery side of things in April 2015, once he got told that he can not carry on performing in theatre and still be the Chief Executive Officer of Holby City Hospital. The former CEO Henrik Hanssen returned and took over the position once again. Guy left the hospital in 2016 following a dramatic series of events involving Tristan Wood, the hospital's chairman of the board who died as a results of a brain injury when he attacked Zosia.

Guy first visited the [[Emergency Department|ED]] for a meeting regarding [[Martin "Ash" Ashford]]'s future in HCH following F2 [[Lily Chao]]'s decision to report Martin for misconduct. He gave Martin a warning and told Lily to be more careful. Guy next appears briefly, as Clinical Lead [[Zoe Hanna]] visits him following [[Connie Beauchamp]]'s arrival in the ED. Zoe is furious that he hasn't discussed this with her but, Guy refuses to sack Connie, stating she is one of [[Holby]]'s best ever surgeons that actually wants to work in the ED. When Zoe steps down as [[Clinical Lead]] she goes to Guy with Connie and said that she steps down so then Connie takes over the ED, Guy tells Connie to get rid of Zoe but she refusses to get rid of her because shes one of the greatest Consultants she's ever worked with.
