Tina Mollett breaks patient confidentiality
Tina Mollett plays a dangerous game in the latest episode of Casualty (BBC1 - see our TV Guide for listings) when she interferes in patients' lives.
Tina has been quickly accepted into the tight-knit ED team, not least because she’s dating senior nurse manager Jacob Masters. Recently, however, Casualty fans have begun questioning the agency nurse’s manipulative behaviour...
This week in Casualty doctor Rash Masum is paired with Tina (Adele James) and is shocked by her behaviour.
Alarm bells start ringing for Rash (Neet Mohan) when Tina violates a patient’s confidentiality by snooping on their social media accounts.
Later, when treating former Holby City CEO Vanessa Lytton (guest star Leslie Ash - see below for more on this story) Tina suspects Vanessa is the victim of domestic abuse.
In a bid to prove she’s right Tina repeatedly oversteps boundaries, leaving Rash playing catch up. As the shift progresses and even more determined to confirm her suspicions Tina then goes on to reveal that she was in an abusive relationship.
At first Rash is sympathetic until Tina makes a careless confession that leaves him deeply disturbed…
Will he report Tina?

Vanessa Lytton makes a shock return
On the subject of hospital CEOs, Charlie Fairhead's jaw drops when he realises that former hospital chief executive of Holby City, Vanessa Lytton, has been admitted to the ED!
Vanessa’s fearsome reputation precedes her (Dylan has more to say on this!) so the other medics nominate Charlie to treat her. Something he’s less than thrilled about…
Charlie’s surprised when a chastened Vanessa apologises for all the trouble she caused while CEO and credits her new husband Mike (Coronation Street star Bill Ward) for helping turn her life around. Vanessa also reveals that her health has deteriorated and she’s now almost entirely dependent on Mike.
Vanessa’s admitted with a suspected fracture, which she says she got after falling down the stairs. But events take a dramatic twist when nurse Tina (yep, her again!) notices Vanessa’s arms are covered in scratches and bruises. Suspecting domestic violence Tina forces the issue, leading to sinister revelations, an angry confrontation, and a shock confession!
What is Vanessa hiding?
