BBC Casualty: keep calm and cartilage on; it's going tibia ok

[RedForShort]

The thread is full.

The virus is spreading will Holby be ok?!

I thought tonight's episode showed a major improvement on recent ones. Mind you, no Connie, minimal Jacob and a decent amount of Dylan tends to have that effect for me.

Poor Ethan .

Rash seems a changed man. I know his mother has just died but I am wondering whether he is going to become more devout (and this may impact adversely on his relationship with Gem). Or maybe Gem will convert to Islam?

Just caught up....

I enjoyed the episode and I hope to see more of Dylan.

I can’t quite understand where Gemma was though? Surely he wouldn’t have just left her abroad in a strange country whilst he can’t back for his mom’s funeral? And as his girlfriend surely she’d want to come back with him to support him??

@QueenofmyPrinces didn't Rash say something to Ian along the lines of: "Gem's fine."?

I know he did.... which I took to mean that Gem was still back in whatever country she’d gone to visit Rash (I can’t remember which one).

And then at the end, when Dylan offered Rash a job back in the hospital, Rash said, “There’s just the problem of my girlfriend being a million miles away, halfway around the world.”

Or something to that effect.

Oh I fell asleep towards the end, so that would make sense.

Well I thought it was a load of rubbish!

Yes, it sounds as if she's stayed in Thailand. Bit odd. The scene at the end with people not wanting to sit near him on the bus was sad. All too real :(

I thought Rash was being set up as a victim of a revenge attack.

I’ve just started watching last nights episode. I can’t get over Ethan’s “oh I thought it was an automatic” line. Seriously?! You’ve been sat next to this guy very clearly changing gears as he drives around a course!

Poor Ethan. Wonder if he starts wearing his glasses again he'll get better - like a reverse of last time.

Do you think Casualty is having a budget crisis. For a supposed crisis worthy of clearing out the EDs of two hospitals there were very few extras being wheeled around to create the chaos and extreme busy nature a crisis worthy of that would cause. Haven't we had tents erected outside before to cope with a crisis?

I'm really emotional at the moment (blaming hormones as I've no other explanation) but I found the explosion and Etan being trapped hard going.

Think I need to get out more!!!

I thought exactly the same! That was a bit odd!

I fear this may be the beginning of the end for Ethan - expecting his Huntingdon's to start showing symptoms soon.

Yes, think you're right @Tonnerre about it being a turning point episode for poor Ethan.

Part 2 next week isn't it? I do agree Rash is being set up for a revenge attack of some degree.

I wish David would stop being a dick to Rosa.

If Connie was still in charge she’d have told that new guy that no-one likes a grass. With no witnesses of course.

Yes that's what he needed

Also his comment ‘I didn’t train for 7 years to babysit’ went unchecked. Come back soon Connie!

I still can't forgive Connie for what she did.
And I don't think it's reported has it?

Have they got new writers of something? I didn’t understand last nights episode at all. What was the storyline about the baby about? Were was it taking us? It’s so disjointed at the moment.

It was very doctor centric last night, wasn't it, with the exception of the brief Duffy/Charlie interlude.

I think the baby story was more a reflection on Rash than anything else.

Anyone else spot a potential romance between Ethan and Effie?

Ew. I do not like the new doctor at all. Completely unnecessary. I'm a big Rash fan so totally biased obviously. 😂

Oh another know-it-all , arrogant and superior new doctor.

I'm mean, he can't grasp why a dying baby might be overwhelming to him. Stropping because he had to do something he deemed beneath him for 10 minutes, to help out a colleague caring for a patient. (Think the baby story was in to show Rash as a decent doctor who cares for patients, in contrast to new doctor, who proved to be useless with speaking to the mum.)

Can we have some nice new doctors please?

Anyone else spot a potential romance between Ethan and Effie?
Thought that. But hope not!! Friend's dying daughter and all that.
