Casualty spoilers follow for Saturday's (May 9) episode that is now available to view on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air on BBC One at 8:45pm.
Stevie's Dangerous Mistake
Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) made the gravest of mistakes this week, one that could have had major consequences both for her career and a patient's life. The fan-favourite ED consultant, who has been struggling with pains, was taken aback when her prescription was unexpectedly changed to opioids. At first, she vowed to do without them. But with her pain levels increasing, not to mention stress at an all-time high in the ED due to a series of explosions on Wyvern Estate, she ultimately took the drugs.
Teddy Gowan (Milo Clarke) rescued a young girl from the explosion, and as the opioids took effect, Stevie made a big mistake, administering too much morphine to the patient. Matty Linlaker (Aron Julius) later worked out what had transpired and confronted Stevie, but he ultimately refrained from telling her what she did, instead taking the blame when confronted by Dylan Keogh (William Beck). The question now is: will the truth come out? Will Stevie face consequences for her actions?
Secret Affair Under Threat
Matty subsequently asked Stevie out for dinner, but she declined. The doctors, as fans will know, commenced an affair after they grew close in the wake of Kim Chang's (Jasmine Bayes) death. A number of weeks ago, at the beginning of the latest boxset Lethal Legacy, after the team spent the day trying to deal with what appeared to be the start of a new pandemic, the two were seen kissing passionately behind an ambulance.
The relationship received quite the reaction from viewers, and in the show it seems Stevie fears a similar reaction if Dylan, who is Matty's dad, were to find out, opting instead to keep her dalliances with Matty a secret. But as any soap fan knows, secrets don't stay secret for too long.
Fan Reactions and What's Next
In terms of viewer reaction to the new coupling, fan Hannah wrote on social media: 'stevie why???? I love you sm but matty???' Predicting more drama for Stevie, this person added: 'STEVIE NO!!! this won't end well'. Casualty airs Saturday at 8:45pm on BBC One or streams from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
