Jesse Law
Jesse Law is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Holby City, played by actor Don Gilet. He first appeared in the series sixteen episode "Battle Lines", broadcast on 22 April 2014. Jesse arrives at Holby City employed as a Consultant Anaesthetist working on the hospital's Keller ward. The show created a rich backstory for the character meaning he already knew three regular characters Guy Self (John Michie), Zosia March (Camilla Arfwedson) and Colette Sheward (Louise Delamere). Jesse and Guy share a professional history and close friendship as it was Guy who mentored Jesse after noticing his talent. He is characterised as a flirtatious, confident and cocky character. Professionally he is a highly skilled anaesthetist and possesses a strong bedside manner. His lack of humbleness has also created animosity with other characters.
Jesse's first romance storyline played out during his initial tenure. He begins a secretive relationship with Zosia. But when Guy discovers their affair he leaves disgraced. Producers soon brought the character back and Gilet was promoted to the show's regular cast. His return featured Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) rehiring him to work on the Darwin ward. Critics have mainly passed judgment over Jesse's persona during his first year on air. Katy Moon of Inside Soap branded him an "irresponsible medic", while her colleagues named him a "mischief-maker" and "brash consultant". A TV Choice writer assessed that Jesse has a "gung-ho attitude".
On 11 March 2014, it was announced that Gilet had joined the cast playing Jesse Law. The character was billed as a new anaesthetist brought into the hospital by Guy Self (John Michie). Gilet's agent was contacted with an invitation for him to play the character. Gilet had never been offered a role without auditioning and immediately accepted.
Jesse and Guy share a professional history. Guy noticed Jesse's talent and became his mentor. The two are similar in their approach to work and have commonalities. Gilet has described Jesse as being Guy's wingman and together they took risks and aimed to be pioneers in their respective fields. He later compared their relationship to that of Star Wars characters Yoda and Luke Skywalker. Jesse was forced to leave his previous job after sleeping with a patient. He is already acquainted with the characters Colette Sheward (Louise Delamere) and Zosia March (Camilla Arfwedson), the latter who refers to him as "uncle".
Jesse is a quirky character. I'd like to think that he has a great bedside manner and he loves all aspects of the medical career that he's taken on. He loves working with people, and he loves the thought that he can help them with their wellbeing and make them better. Jesse has got a passion about what he does and he loves people. He is a driven guy and very much into pushing himself personally.
— Gilet describing his character.
Upon his arrival Jesse presents himself as "very confident, cocky and sure of himself". His official character biography describes him as arrogant. As a highly skilled anaesthetist he can show off his talent. He loves his career and works hard, but he also loves life and parties equally as hard. He is very flirtatious and has a penchant for taking his bedside manner too far. Jesse is also unorthodox in his methods of practicing medicine. Gilet told Katy Moon from Inside Soap that cocksure Jesse "believes in his own skill at saving lives. He loves his job." His personality can be confusing as he enjoys behaving in a controversial manner. Gilet believed that viewers would never be sure if to view him as dangerous or stable. He added "people try to put him in the box of ladykiller, player, or heart-throb, but he's not that two-dimensional. Jesse's flaws are forgivable in Gilet's opinion. He has a "flip side" to his personality which is "puckish and mischievous" and there is an unpredictability about him. This contrasts to the serious approach he applies to his career. Gilet later told Lorraine Kelly that Jesse is a thrill-seeker and free-wheeler living on the edge. But he warned that his character's ways could lead to disaster and danger. From Jesse's inception he faces animosity from Deputy CEO Serena Campbell (Catherine Russell). Gilet told Daniel Kilkelly (Digital Spy) that Serena prefers humbleness as opposed to Jesse praising his own professional skills.
"'Uncle' Jesse sped out of the car-park with the imprint of Selfie’s (Guy) fist still in his face and Zosia’s heartbroken wailing ringing in his ears."
