Casualty spoilers! Connie suffers in silence, while a terrible ordeal lies ahead for Alicia…
Outwardly Connie Beauchamp seems back to her old self following the cancer ordeal that nearly killed her.

But when Connie’s friends, elderly husband and wife Maggie and Ray Coomes, are admitted to the hospital in tragic but mysterious circumstances, Connie’s left reeling!
Maggie (EastEnders’ Lin Blakely) is admitted with a shocking head wound and is confused, upset and unable to recognise Connie. Some time later Maggie’s husband Ray (Catastrophe’s Gary Lilburn) is also admitted and appears to have taken an overdose. As the truth about Maggie and Ray’s heart-breaking situation unravels, Connie is tested to her limits. On the surface she copes admirably but underneath Connie’s distressed and experiencing strong emotions…
Will Connie reach out to Charlie, who can see she’s deeply affected by Maggie and Ray’s shocking predicament?
Elsewhere, the atmosphere is still chilly between former lovers, doctors Alicia Munroe and Ethan Hardy, but there could be a thaw this week!
