BBC’s Casualty was plunged into chaos after a devastating death left two characters heartbroken.
*Warning – spoilers ahead.* It’s been a turbulent time in Holby ED lately after Dylan Keogh (William Beck) uncovered his colleague and friend Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) had been continuing a secret romance with his son and junior medic Matty Linlaker. After learning about a medical mistake made by Stevie, that was covered for by Matty, Dylan reported Stevie for sexual coercion.
Tonight’s instalment (June 27), saw Stevie’s future confirmed after she was told there would be no further investigation, but must undergo a period of guided practise under supervision. She was also unable to return to the resus ward for the time being.

Of course, tensions continue to grow between Stevie and Dylan, with Stevie being annoyed about the complaint and Dylan furious with the outcome.
However, the hospital was plunged into devastation after a heartbreaking death that could change everything for two favourite characters.
Viewers may remember that clinical lead Flynn has been determined to expose army commanding officer Colonel Jack Bard (Mark Womack), who he suspected of abusing and hazing his soldiers.
When Private Rory accompanied an injured soldier to the emergency department, he was quizzed by Flynn – but was stopped by Bard. But when Rory was admitted himself, Flynn’s suspicions only continued to grow.
Tonight’s instalment saw Rory discharged from the hospital as he revealed to Flynn he was “thinking about getting medically discharged” from the army. He added he needed “as much space between me and him and that place as possible”.

When asked about reporting Bard, a distressed Rory said: “Report him? He’s a Colonel.” But the two were interrupted with an emergency.
In later scenes, Rory finally agreed to report the abuse as he headed to see friend Kev who remains in a critical condition. The young soldier was on his way to visit his friend when he said he would report the Colonel if it was what Kev wanted.

But devastation soon occurred when the two arrived at Kev’s room when the alarms started to beep. In devastating scenes, Kevin died, leaving Rory heartbroken. He screamed: “You can’t be serious, that can’t be it, he’s only a teen he’s got his whole life, do something.”
With Rory ultimately deciding against reporting Colonel Bard, what will Flynn’s next move be? Viewers will need to continue watching to find out.
