Full Casualty spoilers for Supply and Demand - Episode 12 below…
Iain Dean’s home truths
Newly married Iain Dean finds his relationship with Faith is hanging by a thread as the latest 12-part storyline, Supply and Demand ends!
Since learning that his alcoholic mother, Kim, was dying, the paramedic has slowly shut down on his wife. Meanwhile, he’s been confiding in the couple’s bridesmaid Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless).
This week Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) is stunned when consultant Stevie reveals that Kim died three days ago… It’s no picnic for Stevie either, as she feels forced into revealing the truth to a clearly hurting and confused Faith after Iain (Michael Stevenson) started ignoring her calls.
“Iain’s not very good at expressing his emotions,” explains Kirsty Mitchell, who plays advanced clinical practitioner Faith, when she joins What To Watch for an exclusive interview. “She tries to give him space because she realises how big a deal losing his mum is.”
Death on duty?
While Faith is coming to terms with Iain’s secrecy the man himself is on a nail-biting police raid with the HART team. There are twists, turns and unexpected violence aplenty as the emergency services do everything in their power to take down Holby’s drug dynasty.
Just when they think they’ve got the masterminds where they want them, however, the episode deftly changes direction as married criminal kingpins, Imogen Yates (Natasha Atkinson) and her husband, make a desperate last bid for freedom.
For once, Iain - the James Bond of the medical world - doesn’t endanger his own life in the line of duty - although, like 007, the same can’t be said for those in close proximity to him…
Iain’s realisation
Back at the ED, Iain realises the severity of his actions, but also the reasons why he takes deadly risks and is in a state of shock as this sinks in.
At the end of their shift, Faith reaches out to her husband but is left speechless when he delivers a devastating home truth.
“It’s a massive heartbreaking shock and, for Faith, it comes from nowhere,” says Kirsty. “I can’t say anything more - but it gets really juicy after that.” Full interview with Kirsty Mitchell coming soon.
Could this be the end of the road for the couple?
Flynn caught in the act
Once again Holby ED is facing an emergency situation and clinical lead Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) is nowhere to be seen. When he does finally turn up, it’s clear he’s had a late night and, no matter what he thinks, his desk-deodorant isn’t as effective as he believes!
Fed up but also concerned, Dylan Keogh (William Beck) attempts to talk to Flynn about his behaviour and points out that he has a problem, which Flynn arrogantly shrugs off. But later, after nurse Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell), finds Flynn in a state of undress with a patient’s mother, he begins to unravel.
After hooking up with Layla Kelly (Lauren Cornelius, Gavin & Stacey) in a supply cupboard, her teenage daughter Molly (Alis Waters, The Flatshare) suffers a seizure due to a bleed on the brain. When Dylan rushes to save her he learns what Flynn has been up to!
With his future now in Dylan’s hands, Flynn desperately tries to redeem himself.
But is it too little too late?
Also in Casualty this week
Viewers may experience warm fuzzy feelings during this episode because love is in the air for Cam Mickelthwaite (Barney Walsh) and Indie Jankowski (Naomi Wakszlak), as their cute relationship really starts to blossom.
This feeling continues, as we learn more about Jacob Masters (Charles Venn) and his family. Could this herald a change in fortunes for the over-worked medic and dedicated father?
Rash Masum (Neet Mohan) also gets some good news that he, of course, shares with best pal Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari), which warms the cockles.
Sadly, however, doctor Nicole Piper (Sammy T. Dobson) is in a state of distress as she realises that she may never see nurse Ngozi Okoye (Adesuwa Oni) again.
Fortunately clinical nurse manager Siobhan McKenzie (Melanie Hill) steps in to save the day she when helps Nicole make a romantic dash to the airport. But with everything seemingly against them, will they make it there before it's too late?
Meanwhile, at Holby Airport, Ngozi’s son, Obi (Aryel Tsotois) is excited to be returning home to Nigeria permanently with his mum. However, Ngozi doesn’t feel the same way, no matter how much she tries to pretend otherwise.
We really don’t want to reveal anything further about this storyline for fear of spoiling it, but all we will say is that Casualty, after nearly 40 years on our screens, has lost none of its power to shock us, move us and bring us to tears, while leaving us wanting more.
