Delamere revealed that Fletch and Colette's relationship had been well received by fans of the drama. Wilson of "What's on TV" sympathised with the character, commenting, "as if he hasn’t been through enough in his life, he recently got stabbed by a patient". She also described Fletch asking Raf to care for his children if he dies as "heart-breaking". Walkinshaw also received positive feedback to his onscreen chemistry with Woodeson (Artem Chernik). Multiple members of "Holby City" cast and crew told Haasler for her "Holby City" book how good Walkinshaw is on the show, especially with how he works with the camera.
