perform the operation. Reception Commenting on Michie's casting straight after his role in Coronation Street, a reporter for the Belfast Telegraph thought producers had made it difficult for them and some viewers to continue watching. They wrote, "In one soap the man is a killer and now he is in charge of Holby with the aim of saving lives. When I see him in future episodes – that is if I decide to keep watching – I'll think only of Karl's dirty deeds down in the pub cellar. Giving this role to Michie whom I've no doubt is a fine actor but who is typecast as murdering Karl, makes the task of settling into his new role difficult. I hope he manages it." Flynn Sarler from Radio Times was not impressed with the character's debut. He stated that it was during his second episode that viewers got a "first proper feel for him and it's not all that fuzzy". Sarler bemoaned the character's surgical scenes stating that "Guy doesn't look confident doing it and you don't feel confident watching." When Guy brought Connie Beauchamp to the Darwin ward, resulting in her clashing with Jac, Jane Simon of the Daily Mirror observed "Was this what Guy secretly intended all along, to remind Jac of just how ambitious she really is? If so, he's even more cunning than we gave him credit for." Simon later noted that Guy had "turned into the worst kind of corporate lizard". A reporter for the Daily Record stated that Guy was "not the most compassionate man in the world".
