First Words
(Archie is getting frustrated with the course she is attending and decides to leave midway through) Course leader, Gregory : Dr Hudson, you’re leaving?
Archie : I am
Gregory : I was just warming up
Archie : Gregory, you seem like an intelligent guy so I won’t waste your time telling you I’ve got somewhere to be or something’s come up. I do have better things to do but that’s not why I’m leaving. I’m leaving because I resent wasting a whole day of my life being told how to talk and how to behave, pick things up. I know how to talk, I know how to pick things up
Last Words
Connie : Dr Hudson, I take it from the hugs and the dewy eyes that you’re leaving
Archie : Connie, I don’t want to ..
Connie : Good luck Archie
Background
Archie is clever, passionate and headstrong. She’s a brilliant doctor but cannot keep her mouth shut. If she sees any injustice, she won’t keep quiet. She’s got a short fuse and playing the game is not Archie’s forte. Despite priding herself on her intelligence, it’s absolutely her heart that rules over her head.
Archie’s last post was at the Ostwyn’s ED. She found her best friend, an overworked registrar, unconscious and the hospital tried to cover it up as an accidental overdose. She was let go from the hospital, after she emailed every consultant with her views of the incident.
Archie joins at the same time as locum Will, who eventually gets the Consultancy post over her. The pair often clash but also have eachother’s backs. During Series 33, Connie’s behaviour spirals which is affecting her work – however when she blames Archie for making a mistake with a patient, it alerts Archie to a potential future issue. Ciaran is brought in to oversee the department and when another incident leads to Duffy being blamed, Archie is intent on proving Connie’s at fault. It ends up in a hostage situation involving Connie and Archie at a pharmacy in which Archie is stabbed, but Connie admits to her addiction and leaves the department under a cloud.
In Series 34, Archie again shows her need to get justice when she helps an abused ex-student escape the police after he acid attacks his old school teacher. The teacher, is later readmitted in a further episode where Archie reveals to him she vandalised his car. Midway through the series, Connie returns which at first displeases Archie but following the death of Duffy, she sees Connie is struggling and offers to go for a drink with her and their friendship thaws a little. Archie admits to Will that she has received a job offer from Megan Harrison in Sudan, and Connie later finds out through Megan. Connie is hurt and informs Archie that she should take the role as she expects full commitment from her team, but quietly she is disappointed as Archie leaves.
