Casualty reveals: Is this the end for Charlie and Duffy? Iain’s mental anguish worsens. Alicia and Ethan decide to interfere in Rash’s love life!
Heartbreak hotel for Duffy and Charlie?
It’s taken Duffy and Charlie Fairhead thirty years to admit their feelings before they finally tied the knot last year. But their marriage is now officially on the rocks after Duffy wakes up naked in a hotel room with childhood sweetheart Bill Crowthers!
Things have been strained between the newlyweds for months – Charlie’s working long hours and Duffy has developed a secret anxiety disorder. Instead of turning to each other, Charlie’s buried in his nursing duties and Duffy’s leaning on Bill…
This week hung-over Duffy’s horrified by her betrayal, throws Bill (Clive Wood) out, and demands he never contacts her again. Duffy’s hopes of a quiet, hasty exit vanish, however, when a hotel guest needs urgent medical attention after almost drowning in the pool. When paramedics Iain Dean and Ruby Sparks turn up, Duffy quickly lies about attending a meeting. But do they believe her?
Later at the hospital Duffy tells Charlie she stayed at the hotel for headspace after their recent argument. Yet, unknown to Duffy, Bill’s waiting outside the ED. Meanwhile, suspicious Charlie can’t stop himself checking his wife’s phone… Is Duffy’s betrayal about to be exposed?
