Young mother Robyn is pushed to breaking point in Casualty and takes it out on Charlie Fairhead… Will she abandon her baby too?

Robyn’s nightmare continues this week as she tries to care for her daughter in neonatal intensive care. Baby Charlotte has been named after Charlie Fairhead, so what drives Robyn to get aggressive with the aging nurse?

Then Louise delivers shocking news – Charlotte needs emergency surgery. But with only a 50-50 percent chance of survival Robyn considers walking away…
