Holby City -
After uploading the Fred Astaire remake, Tom was approached by the BBC after they had seen the video. He took on the role of Sam Strachan in Holby and his first episode was aired in 2006 called Mother Love. Sam was a ladies man and the nurses knew it. As well as engaging relationships with Chrissie Williams, Faye Morton, Maddy Young, and Zoe Young, Sam showed off his romance to his boss, Connie Beauchamp and later became a father to her child, but Sam and Connie were never a couple but definitely had a love-hate and brief sexual relationship.
In November 2007 Sam was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma which made him want to cherish life a lot more and be there for his daughter, Grace. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worst when after arguing with Connie, over Grace who had fallen down the stairs whilst in the care of a Nanny. Sam and Connie argued in the operating room and soon lead to him collapsing with Septic Shock after developing Septicemia. With support from Connie and Maria Kendall, he pulled through and went on to recover. Sam eventually got the all clear eight months after being diagnosed with the Cancer.
It was announced in October that Sam would depart from Holby in a big Christmas storyline involving Maria who had grown very fond of Sam, and his Son Keiron who was born when Sam was in his late teens. The build up to the departure begun several episodes before when Sam and Keiron, who lived in America, got in contact.
