BBC CASUALTY - terror rampage death guilt

[Blondeshavemorefun]

New thread

ww have David struggling with ollies decisions

Will robin be surrogate

Steve is still annoying

faith and Dylan

I hope storylines get better. Been a bit meh recently

I actually really enjoyed that episode I also don’t usually enjoy specific character centric episodes but it was well done and a relatable subject matter addiction after sexual assault/rape, Maybe as I can relate

Why did Sascha mention Lofty but not him?
i think because lofty worked with Sasha and was married to Dom so he knew him very well.Max has always worked on A&E hadn't he? So Sasha won't know him so well.

Isn't it bizarre though that script writers wouldn't stop and think "oh she had relatives who were in the show, I'll stick a quick line in to explain why they aren't here"
I do always wonder this, if the audience notice this why do the script writers struggle?

I can only assume there's been a turnover of script writers and the new ones didn't watch the show before they got the job. Can't imagine why else missing information or errors could occur.

Though you'd think that they would keep a profile of each character wouldn't you? (Or even, these days, look at Casualty wiki!)

Yes 😆 it's not difficult to get hold of information nowadays. Poor Robin, they killed her off the least they could do is have one last look at her wiki page!

Things like Charlie needing reading glasses is basic continuity. there was a running storyline a few years back about him getting his glasses -
and then they disappear.

the likelihood of anyone in their mid 70s not needing reading glasses is pretty small! But then they seem to overlook that a doddery-looking 75 year old working in a busy ED is highly improbable.

Was Luca cured of his brain tumour as he seems to be running about like he never had anything wrong with him!

Yes he had that proton beam therapy that they had to fight the hospital for. It was amazing actually, he was cured instantly with no relapses, by the acceptance letter.
It must be good stuff 😝

Oh yes, sort of remember that now!!

And clunky it continued to be. If Faith has been falling apart over the past year and nicking tranquillisers all over the place, how come there has been no sign of it till the last two episodes? Is their drugs control so poor that no-one has ever noticed the missing diazepam?

@Quia last night's episode was just bad, bad, bad. It feels like it was shoehorned in because they haven't got new storylines or new characters ready. I normally forgive Casualty a great deal, but this was probably the worst episode I've seen in a long time.

Faith's initital encounter with that guy must have been getting on for two years ago? Ridiculous that they've only just picked up on it.

Behind as always

Seen last weeks now

Didn't know faith had a drug problem

Apparently it was last January.

Faith’s hair and voice irritate me so much that I found a whole episode dedicated to her really difficult.

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross - me too.

Maybe watching classic Casualty sours it a bit (although we're at 2018 now so not too long ago) but the Faith rape feels very similar to what happened with Alicia and Eddie. Added drugs make it more interesting I suppose. I like Faith but feel a little drained by her.

Shame the nurse walkout wasn't mentioned at all. I don't suppose it will be now.

I haven’t read the last couple of pages but saw on IG that Barney Walsh is joining. I didn’t even know he was an actor?!

He was in The Larkins with his dad.

@LIZS I didn’t know that.

I’ve only seen him on Breaking Dad (also with his Dad!). He seems like such a lovely person.

looking forward to some new characters.

I agree that the Faith drug storyline seems to have been sprung on us. No build up whatsoever.

Ooh I love Barney Walsh - ‘Barnes’. Will look forward to that.
Also thought the episode was ridiculously shoe-horned in.

I've just caught up. Faith didn't know either until she got the script 🤣

I quite like how they've just told us about Faith's problem now and how she's managed to hide it actually.

Wondering if I'm the only one on this thread who thinks this

I think if there'd been subtle hints planted that you don't think anything of at the time then yeah it would have been a good storyline.

This feels like it's been shoehorned in in an oh crap we need to fill some episodes before the new nurses start type way

Just my opinion 😊

@SgtCatherineCawood - I agree. It just felt false.
I did wonder why her “off the rails” storyline ended so abruptly - but that isn’t unusual for Casualty. Remember the Charlie “catfishing” SL that just died?
