Dylan Keogh feels betrayed

Dylan Keogh isn’t known for displays of emotions, yet his friendship with patient Paula Kettering has brought out the dour doctor’s caring side. But this week he decides to turn his back on her!

Recovering alcoholics Dylan (William Beck) and Paula (Rosie Jones) grew close after her baby, Ena, was taken away by social services. Since then Dylan, who grew up in care, has been helping Paula get her daughter back. 

This week it’s revealed that Dylan’s organised a solicitor to take on Paula’s case and has been attending AA meetings with her. So when he gets a call from Paula asking him to urgently come to the hospital pharmacy, he drops everything. 

It turns out that Paula has gotten into an argument because she’s on edge after learning the court date for the custody hearing has been delayed. He encourages her to be patient and stay out of trouble… but that’s easier said than done!

Paula’s past jeopardises her future

While Dylan is sorting out Paula’s prescription she runs into an old drinking buddy! Ellen (The Bill’s Andrea Mason) has badly burnt her arm and begs Paula to hold onto a bottle of vodka for her. Ellen then pressurises Paula into lying about the cause of her injuries.

Unfortunately for Paula, Dylan spots her putting the booze in her bag! As Dylan treats Ellen, she lies to cover up her own drinking and says she burnt her arm at a party at Paula’s house. 

Although uncomfortable, Paula reluctantly goes along with Ellen’s story, leading Dylan to conclude that she’s been secretly partying! 

Disappointed, he angrily confronts Paula, accuses her of drinking and tells her she’s on her own. Devastated that he doesn’t trust her, Paula goes to the pub… Will Dylan find her before it’s too late?

Paula is deeply upset by Dylan's accustations.
