Casualty’s guest storylines have us on a cliff-edge this week!

Firstly, father and daughter Daryl and Jessie are admitted to the ED after an attempt at a selfie by the seaside goes wrong.

The incident leads Daryl (Rupert Hill) to experience disturbing flashbacks. Later, when warm-hearted nurse Robyn Miller performs an act of kindness for Jessie (Adrianna Bertola) she discovers a secret that leaves her reeling…

Elsewhere, Will (Jack Nolan) finds it difficult to treat mysterious patient Lorna (former EastEnders star Michelle Collins).

The shocking story begins with Lorna sitting outside the hospital in her car, nervously clutching a kitchen knife. Soon afterwards Lorna intentionally slams the car door on her hand and admits herself to the ED for treatment.

Consultant Will Noble begins to suspect Lorna’s her lying about the severity of her injuries, but it’s Duffy who twigs her true identity and why she’s in the ED. Soon everyone’s on a knife edge as Duffy tries to stop tragic Lorna doing something drastic…
