Oliver "Ollie" Hide (2005 – June 2022) was the son of David and Rosalene Hide. From around 2014, he was estranged from his father and lived with his mother.

Biography[]

Making contact with David[]

In September 2016, David made contact with Ollie once again, which led to Ollie driving his mother's car to Holby ED to find David. However, Rosalene made an angry entrance not long after which led to David informing Ollie that he couldn't live with him. In anger, Ollie went back to the car and burnt his memory poster of him and David which led to the car being set on fire. David managed to rescue him before it exploded, although an elderly patient was injured during the events. Later on, David tried to give his son a psychological examination, and eventually, he was able to get him to speak to the police and admit that he started the fire. David and Ollie shared a game in reception before he and Rosalene agreed to try to make their arrangement work again. (CAS: "Schoolboy Crush")

Return to Holby[]

On 17 August 2019, Ollie visited the emergency department to speak to David, but a major incident had been declared following a terror attack at Holby Market, and David was preoccupied with treating an influx of patients. In the relatives room, Ollie was asked to keep a young boy named Zinedin company, and Zinedin showed Ollie that his father was on top of the terrorist's lorry. Later that day, Rosalene arrived at the ED to pick Ollie up, and Ollie apologised to David for getting him into trouble. (CAS: Episode 1139)

Bullying and friendship with Rob[]

Following the situation surrounding the Chiari malformation, Ollie felt that David was pushing him away, and the pair became more distant. (CAS: "Road to Nowhere") Ollie's feelings of resentment towards David worsened when Rosa decided to return to Uruguay to take care of Xiomara. (CAS: "Break Your Heart", "Road to Nowhere") Ollie's mental health started to decline, and he became increasingly mute and dishevelled. His classmates picked up on his unusual behaviour, and he became a frequent target of bullying. Despite his isolation, Ollie helped another boy named Rob Tranter after the latter was beaten up, and the two became close friends. (CAS: "Road to Nowhere", "Dark Room")

In April 2022, Ollie and several classmates were taken on a trip to the emergency department to learn about career opportunities in the NHS. After learning that David, who was giving a seminar on mental health, was Ollie's father, Dan Heswith and Louise Prierton pressured Ollie into revealing a secluded smoking spot. Dan subsequently stole a canister of nitrous oxide from an ambulance, and he and Louise began inhaling it in the toilets before pressuring Ollie into joining in. In a game of "truth or dare", Louise filmed Ollie admitting to being a virgin, and she and Dan laughed when he fainted and hit his head on a sink. After being admitted for treatment, Ollie reluctantly told David about Dan and Louise's theft which led to David confronting and reporting them. In retaliation, Dan posted a video on social media calling Ollie a "snake" and a "freak", and showing Ollie during the game. Realising that he was going to face a torrent of abuse upon returning to school, Ollie ignored David grounding him and angrily dismissed David's offer of support. (CAS: "Road to Nowhere")

At school, Rob told Ollie that the people bullying him were "idiots" and "beneath" him. When a group of kids threw a bag of faeces at Ollie from a car, Rob and Ollie got back at them by vandalising the car. A police officer noticed the pair and pursued them, and Rob fell on a nail embedded in a plank of wood. Ollie and Rob were taken to the emergency department under arrest. Ollie refused to cooperate with David, but Rob told David that Ollie needed a friend and apologised for causing stress for him by getting his son in trouble. After the police decided against pressing charges against Ollie, David decided to rein in his anger and allowed Ollie to visit Rob while the latter recovered. Despite appreciating his father's more lax attitude, Ollie continued to be haunted by the bullying. (CAS: "Dark Room")

In May, Ollie and Rob's relationship became increasingly intense, with Rob often demanding Ollie to respond to his texts. Ollie also started to lose contact with his old friends such as Natalia Malinovsky. On the day that the two had arranged a "set up meet" in Gillhurst Woods, a frenzied Ollie stormed in the ED demanding to speak to David, but David was too busy. Ollie entered resus when David was trying to persuade a suicidal patient not to self-immolate, prompting David to angrily order him to leave. David later offered to speak to Ollie later in the evening, but Ollie warned him that he needed to tell him something "really important" and defeatedly told him to go back to work. Ollie met with Rob at the department entrance, and Rob told Ollie that it was "just [them] two now". (CAS: "Never Alone")

School shooting and death[]

In June, after David dropped Ollie off at Carsbury Park High School, Ollie met up with Rob, and the pair started shooting pupils with pump-action shotguns. After clearing a theatre room and having agreed to a suicide pact, the pair started 30-minute timers on their phones and began searching classrooms. When Ollie entered Natalia's classroom, Ollie found her under a table but decided to spare her and told Rob that the room was clear. As the timer drew closer to ending, Ollie realised the gravity of the situation and begged Natalia, who accidentally ran into him while trying to escape, to take his gun off him. However, Rob shot at Natalia and, when Ollie admitted that he could not go through with shooting himself, tried to kill them both. Ollie tried to fight back, but Rob shot Ollie in the chest at point-blank and caused him to fall over a staircase balcony; Rob subsequently encountered a squad of armed police and was mortally wounded in a firefight.

Ollie was found by paramedics and taken to the emergency department. After receptionist Paul Pegg unwittingly identified Ollie's trainers in front of David, David rushed to Ollie's bedside, believing him to have been a victim. However, while David and Dylan gathered Ollie's belongings for the Major Crime Team, several unspent shotgun shells fell out of Ollie's clothing. After Natalia identified Ollie as one of the shooters, David eventually began to recognise Ollie's involvement and began cooperating with the police. Ollie was placed under arrest on suspicion of murder, but Ollie's condition began to deteriorate on his way to theatre. Dylan attempted a clamshell thoracotomy, but he failed to resuscitate Ollie and pronounced him dead. (CAS: "Wednesday's Child")
