However, it soon became clear she was hiding a more serious ailment as Sacha realised she was having memory problems and took her for an MRI scan.
Upset by Dom’s cold attitude towards her, Carole quizzed Ange and was shocked when she revealed he’d been in a terrible car accident and had suffered life-changing injuries.
Carole confronted Dom and demanded to know why he hadn’t told her about the accident and his stoma bag, but he continued to push her away.
Later, Sacha told a distraught Carole she has rapidly progressing vascular dementia and is going to need full-time support soon.

Carole decided to hide her diagnosis from Dom following the bombshell about his accident, telling Sacha: “He’s not ready to cope with this, he’s too brittle.”
Will she open up to Dom before it’s too late?
Fans were devastated for Carole.
One said: “Carole has vascular dementia.”
Another added: “NO NOT CAROLE. ffs holby.”
A third said: “How dare Holby give Carole Dementia! Our queen does not deserve being treated like this by the writers, and why do they insist on torturing Dom even more?”
Elsewhere last night in the medical drama, Abs Shah arrived in Holby after an accident and began searching for Hanssen.
