Back in a 2018 episode of Casualty Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson)’s world started to fall apart when he was called to a woman who’d jumped off a motorway bridge, killing herself and causing a massive road accident. The incident led to the death of his former partner and fellow paramedic Sam Nicholls, who died in his arms.
Following this Iain’s mental health deteriorated and he attempted to end his life the following year.
All of this trauma is revisited in Saturday (June 3)’s episode, when Iain and Jacob are called to a very similar scene after a young man jumps from a bridge. Horrifically, the man is even dressed similarly to the woman who fell in 2018 and Iain instantly suffers flashbacks about what happened to him previously.
Jacob becomes worried by how Iain is reacting and sends him off to look after a family of four who’ve been trapped in their car. As Iain struggles to hold things together he threatens to be overwhelmed by thoughts from the past.
Sah (Arin Smethurst) is delighted to tell Teddy (Milo Clarke) that they have a date for their top surgery. ‘I’ll finally look like the person I feel like on the inside,’ they tell their colleague.
But Teddy’s girlfriend Paige (Shalisha James-Davies) reacts less well to the news. Paige knows she has the gene that makes it more likely she could get breast cancer one day, so for her Sah’s surgery is a scary reminder of what she might have to face.
And Cam (Barney Walsh) has money worries and needs to find a lodger – but a solution to his problem may be close at hand.
