BBC CASUALTY: He's gone and we just move on (no notice needed)

[AnImaginaryCat]

New thread. New era. New series.

Next thing we’ll find out his neighbourly dog walker is Elle.

I think she was just under 1 when he joined, I’m sure I seen it at some point when I was rewatching some old episodes but don’t quote me on that haha!

I really hope we get to see her at some point.

haha yeah them not mentioning Elle in the Jacob story is crazy, they’ve not even attempted to make up a reason..

I'm pretty sure next week is a continuation, from what Sky have on the planner it sounds like the storm is still going on.

When I saw this bit, Mumsnet was my first thought 🤣

I know someone who follows the place that train her, the dog who plays Dervla is 14 (around the same age as she’ll be in the show) in real life.

Oh my goodness!! So glad the actual Dervla is still alive. I love her so much ❤️

I love how our priorities are all about Dervla and not about the actual plot 😂
If the writers knew this, the next block of episodes would centre around her, seeing as she’s everyone’s favourite character. Alongside Dylan, of course.

I thought she was an older dog when Dylan started in the ED - but it’s been 11 years, I may well be misremembering that.

She's the type of dog that would look old even when she was young!

It’s more that I think I remember him fussing over her “because she’s not a young dog”. But he’s a bit like that generally, and it was a long time ago!

Great another one who's got the wrong first impression of Dylan

Cringed so much with Cam talking to Abigail

I don't think new love interest is widowed no. I think he'd have said if that was the case

I'm getting a feeling that the new guy is not going to have a positive impact being back in Cam's life? Oh dear.

I have always hoped for a Rash/Rida romantic relationship but thinking now that it's becoming more like a sibling one?

Agree, maybe wife has degenerative condition

Ah I think it was an innocent mistake from new guy.
I actually think he'll be good for Cam. But that's just what I got from it

They've done a Huntingtons storyline 2 or 3 times now

That's true. Ethan and Cal's birth mother. But they often rehash old storylines.

I don’t think having someone from his past - who probably still thinks of him as a kid - is going to be good for him either. Especially as he gave him such poorly thought out advice - how on earth did he end up on the board with that level of foresight 🫣

Whilst what Cam said to the mother was inappropriate, I don’t think it warranted the response it got from Siobhan. I’m fairly sure he got bollocked more than Lenny Lyons did when he full on acted out a traumatic car crash decapitation with a jelly baby, in front of the victim’s wife.

And yes, that is a really old comparison - but it was a very entertaining era in Casualty history!

Awww - I'd forgotten about Lenny Lions! He was great. Highly entertaining.

Aren't they a doctor down with Patrick gone? I wonder if they'll replace him?

A week behind so have read io to last weeks

Omg

As soon as they mentioned suicide and rash did his note on the door - I thought he was going to hang his self

Luckily he didn't as that's the one thing I still can't watch due to dh hanging his self

But glad he will be ok

Dylan. I assume he is autistic but that makes no diff as still can be a fab doctor - unlike Patrick

What I don't get is how /why the board allows him to go to an Edinburgh hospital and a new job

When he is a danger to patients

So what happens to rima

I thought weird the whole staff then backed her up by saying it was me about the whistleblowing

They were sticking up for her, showing they were with her.

Nothing's going to happen to Rida really!

Holby operates outside of the real world where doctors can't get struck off. Unless Dylan reporting him has repercussions.

😁

I just want to share how much I love Dylan, and think he's well overdue a love interest on this show (I'm not volunteering I've just watched this week's)
