There’s extreme Dean family drama in Saturday's Casualty! Shameless star Rebecca Ryan joins as Iain’s secretive little sister…

Paramedic Iain Dean’s life is turned upside down when his little sister, Gemma, pops into the paramedic bay to say hello. But this being Holby, it’s not a straightforward catch up! It turns out troubled Gemma – played by Shameless star Rebecca Ryan – is sitting on a mountain of secrets. Soon deeply buried family hurts surface, after Gemma reveals it’s the day of their grandfather’s funeral…

But Gemma’s not the only one dishing out shocking news. She’s absolutely stunned when ex-soldier Iain (Michael Stevenson) reveals he returned to Holby a few years ago and never came to visit either her or their mother! And this is only the beginning – Iain’s unaware Gemma’s on day release from a young offender institute to attend their grandfather’s funeral. Since getting released Gemma’s already attacked someone…

Iain hands Gemma over to the police without hesitation, unaware that Gemma was acting in self-defence. When Lily reveals the truth, he angrily turns on her!

Elsewhere, Elle better watch out, as Connie’s hell bent on ruining her career…

Last week Connie Beauchamp and Jacob Masters dramatically broke up after she refused to drop her allegations of misconduct against his good friend Elle. This week Connie seems unmoved as she watches nurse Jacob pack up his belongings and drive away… but beneath her cold exterior Connie is seething!

She’s struggling to come to terms with her daughter Grace’s inability to walk since the helicopter crash last year. In her grief Connie blames Grace’s severe injuries on Elle’s handling of the catastrophe. This week Connie attempts to manipulate patient treatment times in order to make Elle look incompetent. She later crosses the line when she convinces an angry patient to make a formal complaint about how the ED is run!

Also this week, Robyn discovers she’s expecting a healthy baby girl! And Cal steals Alicia’s phone in order to find out if she’s cheating on him…
