BBC Casualty: Activate the major haemorrhage protocol

[AnImaginaryCat]

New thread - ready and waiting.

Are there not normally 12 episodes in an arc @LIZS ?

No idea but tv listings suggest a new one starts next week.

Last nights said 11/11. Interestingly next weeks is 1/12 so maybe even the producers got bored of the storyline and cut an episode 🤣

I don't know why they have to do the mini series thing anyway

I found it a hard episode last night and was glad we've come to a close of concentrating too much on Jodie who annoyed me so much by running off to "I'll destroy yours and Dylan's careers" widow. Ffs, woman, you're not the queen of nursing and the department needed all hands on deck!

And then there's Siobhan. I get it, I really do that grief changes people and there's denial and sadness and blah and rage and god knows having Richard's last words to her being tell Stevie I love her was a punch in the gut but she's using his death to rewrite history, to manipulate people and to be cruel and she seems to be enjoying the cruelty. Again, I get it but hope I'd never be her in that situation. I've always liked her and I'm sure she'll find herself again but right now she's plain horrid.

I had to fast forward through a lot of that episode - the start and most scenes with Jodie in it. The script this series has been excruciating.

I really do hope that Stevie finds someone to love/be loves by.

Was the missing 12th episode the Christmas one?

Maybe. That would make sense.

I thought it was awful all round. The ludicrous football riot and absolutely rubbish security, the silly former patient back for revenge story, the incredibly unlikely depressed skull fracture from a man wearing a riding helmet. That's even before the Jodie walking out part way through a shift and going to see Aaron. That absolutely would be a disciplinary issue.
Faith needs to feck off. The proposal is the pits of a storyline for them both. Has Iain still got a head injury from his cliff fall?

@HobnobsChoice that made me snort with laughter. Iain deserves better.

Stevie pregnant

Can someone please tell me what Flynn did at the beginning to his bit on the side when she was in the road and he did something to her mouth?

Just seen last weeks. That was mean of siobhan saying that to Stevie

riot was hard watching

so Jodie and Dylan have made up

Jodie made up with cam and other nurse

indie passes exam finally and now needs a home - yes jan will take her in to bed massive extending house tardis 😂

that was the end of series

tonight’s is a new series so be a time gap

Used a safety pin to hold her tongue away from her airway. Must have been a battlefield technique!

At the end it said 2 months later so she must be at least 3 months pregnant by the next episode. Wonder what’s she’ll decide!

Someone said earlier in the thread that the actor who plays Stevie is pregnant so I guess she'll be having it.

I realise that it's a convenient storyline because Stevie actor is actually pregnant, plus it will stir stuff up with Siobhan, and possibly Nicole, and Dylan...

...but how come no one in a health care setting has ever heard of contraception or used it?

How do you know she's pregnant in real life?

I can't find anything online

I didn't recognise Ollie Rix with his very big beard 😄! ....or very muscular body !

I am looking forward to seeing him in this .

CTM was not the best show for him .

I hope they do a Karaoke night and we get to hear him sing 🤗.

How long has meant to have passed between last series and this because Nicole has gone from severe post partum psychosis to surgical rotation which seems a bizarre move.

I don't know but I'm presuming that will be explained in the next episode

I imagine it can’t be long if Siobhan’s husband only died towards the end of last series and Stevie has only just found out she’s pregnant.

I reckon a two month gap? Maybe less?

Not that I’m any kind of expert in postpartum psychosis or recovery periods, but I also found it very odd to see her there.

Well that was a terrible first episide for the new character. All those shots of his arms outstretched with the sometimes added challenge of waving them around and internal monologue.

Another dislikeable character. Can't we have more nice people without family dramas!!!
