Flynn might have settled into the role as clinical lead in Holby<\/a>, but it really feels as though we’re still only scratching the surface of this mysterious character. <\/p>\n

When Dylan recently did some digging on his colleague, he discovered that Flynn had a baby son who was heartbreakingly taken off life-support back in 2011.<\/p>\n

What to Read Next<\/p>\n

Despite this reluctant emotional breakthrough, Flynn’s behaviour continues to spiral out of control this week. Actor Olly Rix tells us what’s next for the military medic\u2026<\/p>\n

Hi, Olly! Was it helpful for you to learn more about Flynn’s past?<\/p>\n

“Absolutely, I’m glad that the show is investigating his past and offering some insight into why he is like he is.<\/p>\n

“There are some deeply traumatic events from his military career, but there are traumatic personal events as well, and now we’re explaining those.<\/p>\n

“Flynn can be brutally efficient and coldly professional, but there\u2019s a lot of depth. He’s a fundamentally decent man.”<\/p>\n

Will we explore more about Flynn\u2019s experiences in the military?<\/p>\n

“We’re filming an entire boxset on it at the moment, but I’m going to keep that under wraps for the time being.<\/p>\n

“I think that it’s a really nice story, and it goes an enormous way towards fleshing out an understanding of who this man is. I’m excited for that one.”<\/p>\n

Flynn’s relationship with Dylan is interesting, they’ve gone on quite a journey\u2026<\/p>\n

“They have a lot of professional respect for each other, but have different methods of navigating their responsibilities.<\/p>\n

“But no matter how at odds they can be at times, there is an understanding there \u2013 and Flynn ends up confiding in Dylan the way he might do a sponsor. I like their relationship, it’s certainly a varied one!”<\/p>\n
