Alarm bells instead of wedding bells are ringing on the morning of Charlie and Duffy’s nuptials. The groom’s gone AWOL and Duffy has cold feet…

It’s taken thirty years for iconic Casualty nurses Lisa ‘Duffy’ Duffin and Charlie Fairhead to get their act together. But fans may have to wait a bit longer for them tie the knot… Charlie’s gone missing on his debauched Barry Island stag do, and Duffy’s got cold feet!

Unaware the groom’s lost, Duffy does a morning shift at the ED, before the afternoon nuptials. But nerves set in when she thinks Charlie is ignoring her. Pretty soon Duffy doubts their entire relationship and worries they’re making a big mistake…

Meanwhile, the stag party wake up with a sheep in their hotel room, but no Charlie. They split up and retrace their steps from the previous evening to a tattoo parlour and a pole-dancing club. But still can’t find Charlie!

As word about the eventful stag gets back to the hospital everyone does their best to keep Duffy in the dark. Until David lets the cat out of the bag, leaving Duffy distraught…

After a three-decade wait, thankfully patient Duffy isn’t left standing at the altar. Charlie’s located in a police cell and Dylan whisks him to his wedding – in the nick of time.

Also this week, Cal can barely contain his rage having found out his brother Ethan is sleeping with his girlfriend Alicia. After a few digs at Ethan, Cal realises he’s standing in the way of true love. He kisses another woman so Alicia will dump him and hook up with his brother!

Meanwhile, as Connie’s hate campaign continues Elle is broken by the latest complaint against her. Jacob helps raise Elle’s spirits and later, at the wedding reception, Elle tells Connie she’s got a fight on her hands.

Elsewhere, Iain continues to give Lily the cold shoulder following her misunderstanding with his sister. And David’s choice of wedding attire is in danger of upstaging the bride! Yes, he did wear a white suit and pull some Saturday Night Fever moves…
