All BBC Casualty spoilers for this week as Siobhan makes worrying realisation
The medical drama is returning to our screens tomorrow evening after a short break. We are mid-way through the latest boxset Supply and Demand, and the staff at Holby City Hospital still haven't worked out who is responsible for the drugs crisis.
As a result of this, rumours are starting to spread and it leads to Faith Cadogan (Kirsty Mitchell) making an accusation.
Also this week, Nicole Piper (Sammy T Dobson) makes a discovery, and Rash Masum (Neet Mohan) makes more progress in his new relationship.
Here's what's coming up!
Indie (Naomi Wakszlak) and Teddy's (Milo Clarke) tense relationship thaws after Indie manages to calm a high-risk patient who is carrying a hammer. At this point, Teddy is still struggling with his heart pains. As a result, he then puts Indie in a dangerous situation as she's left to deal with the patient alone.
Indie then reveals she's been offered a new job in Sheffield, but doesn't want to say goodbye to her friends. She decides to invite a few of them out for the night including Cam (Barney Walsh) but he says no – he's too tired. Jodie (Anna Chell) picks up on this and tells Cam that was Indie's way of asking him out. It's too late though, as a rejected Indie leaves the ED.
At the club, Indie dances with the nurses, Teddy and her pal Badger, who has a stash of pills. They head out together, while Teddy and Jodie enjoy their high.
Back at the hospital, Siobhan (Melanie Hill) prepares for the busiest night of the year. She bonds with a teenager called Kiaan, who is showing potential at uni, but has had a drunken accident. Not long after, Siobhan has to fight for Kiaan's life as he passes out. She then panics and realises the party drugs have been cut with Nitazenes, unaware in the moment the nurses have taken some on their night out.
Chaos ensues in the ED as Flynn Byron (Olly Rix), Siobhan, Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) and the rest of the team battle to save waves of young people who have all fallen victim to the bad batch of party drugs.
In an office, Siobhan attempts to get hold of her nurses so they can return and help with the critical incident. Frustratingly though, none of them answer because they're too busy dancing. As Kiaan dies, Siobhan is devastated and takes her anger out on the nurses, who eventually come back into the ED. Siobhan says they all risked their careers for a wild night out, and is further hurt when Teddy, Jodie and Rida (Sarah Seggari) all point out that she can't suspend all of them.
Eventually, the nurses apologise to Siobhan and are then left with one question – where is Indie?
The answer? She's walking home with Badger, ignoring calls from her pals. Is Indie heading into danger?
Faith treats Arlo, who promises he's clean from drugs now, but begs for more pain relief. Faith wonders if he's telling the truth, or if it's an addict seeking more drugs. Faith asks for Stevie's opinion, but Flynn then confronts them both, berating Faith for wasting Stevie's time on a non-emergency patient during a critical incident.
After treating a doctor who complains about not receiving any morphine, Faith questions Jacob (Charles Venn) about how much morphine he gave her. She then becomes suspicious that one of the paramedics is giving patients ineffective morphine.
Believing Arlo, Faith offers more pain relief and admits her mistake. As her shift ends, Faith confides in Iain (Michael Stevenson), convinced either Teddy, Jacob or Indie have been stealing morphine.
Nicole (Sammy T Dobson) is furious when Cassie arrives in the ED with her pal Steph, and they've both been taking drugs. To Nicole's horror, she then realises Cassie is one of the dealers.
Steph opens up to Nicole, talking about how she's gifted to the dealers who make the most profit, and that she takes the pills so she doesn't have to feel the abuse anymore.
With Cassie expressing her fears of what the gang will do to her if the drugs go missing, Nicole has no choice but to give the pills to the police. She offers Cassie a place to stay after, but she feels betrayed by Nicole and runs off to the gang.
Rash's date with Sunny (Jamie Marie Leary) has fallen through and Rida jokes, telling Rash they should go clubbing with them instead. More Trending
Rash tells Sunny about the clubbing but she really isn't keen. It leads Rash to admitting that he messed up the tickets for their original booking and didn't want to let her down.
Sunny suggests they go to her place instead – and Rash is more than happy to agree!

BBC Casualty's Sammy T Dobson 'hounded' with messages from fans after 'brutal' scenes
Casualty's Sammy T. Dobson, who plays Doctor Nicole Piper has opened up on the 'intense' reaction she faced from viewers after her brutal onscreen breakup in the BBC drama Casualty fans were left gobsmacked at the end of the last series, when Doctor Nicole Piper (Sammy T. Dobson) broke up with her girlfriend, Ngozi Okoye (Adesuwa Oni), after she revealed she was an alcoholic. Nicole later asked Ngozi to move out as a result, and months later, she carried on to chastise her former partner for her drinking. Now, Casualty 's Nicole actor, Sammy, has opened up on the 'intense' messages she got from fans after the brutal scenes - and the doubts she had about her character behaving how she did. It comes after one huge TV star looks completely unrecognisable as she reveals latest facelift "It was such a rough moment as an actor to get the script where Ngozi told Nicole she was an alcoholic and she said, 'Get out the house and take your kid with you,'" Sammy told InsideSoap. I went to the producers and said, 'I don't think Nicole would do that.' But then they told me about this box set, and with context, you understand where it came from." "I got over 100 messages that night from people saying, 'Why's she done that?' It was really intense, and I just felt awful. That scene was so brutal. But there is a good reason…" Sammy was cast in the hit BBC hospital show in 2024 - although she accidentally revealed her announcement before the show itself... "I put a thing on Instagram. It was literally a picture of my face, and you could just see the green top of my scrubs. It was just a little nod to it," she explained. "And I said, 'I've got really exciting news tomorrow that I've sat on for ages and I can't wait to share it'. And a friend of mine messaged me saying, 'Oh my God, are you a new doctor in Casualty?'" she revealed. The character has been involved in a number of hard-hitting storylines since joining the show, including one in which she became a surrogate mum for her friend, Rosie, who was paralysed after the pair were in a car crash. Her character quickly returned to work after the birth, and later experienced postpartum psychosis. Eventually, her colleagues, including her partner at the time, Ngozi, spotted the signs of PP and knew immediately that Nicole needed urgent help. In her life outside the soap, Sammy was involved in a horrific car crash in 2012, which ripped off one eyelid, broke her thigh bone in two, left her face 'looking like mincemeat', put her in a wheelchair for three months and left her fearing it was the end of her career. Speaking of the incident before joining the show, Sammy told The Mirror: 'Life is so utterly unpredictable. I have come full circle! It felt so bizarre that I had lost my career because of a car accident and then I was being brought in as a character who'd had one. "When they initially told me, 'you've been in a car crash', my instant reaction was, 'how did you know?' But they were talking about my character, Nicole, rather than me!'

The 20 stars who were on Casualty before they were famous

Ben Beaumont-Thomas's album of the week
As bloated piles of 'content' overfill our cultural to-do lists, a double album isn't always met with a warm welcome: an 80-minute film is seen as lean, but an LP of the same length is seen as an exasperating slog. But if anyone can change this mindset it's the US singer-songwriter Cass McCombs, whose 74-minute new double LP begins at the highest songwriting level and barely wavers. McCombs' career stretches back to the early 00s, and this unassuming 47-year-old has steadily walked the valley floor of US indie ever since, often overlooked compared to his hyped peers, but perhaps with a longer career for it. This is his 11th album, not counting compilations, collaborations and a terrific posthumous album by New Hollywood icon Karen Black, which he oversaw. The centre of his palette has always been folk-rock but the edges have held other imaginatively mixed colours: the vocal to his 2007 song That's That, a tale of youthful romance leading to a job as a toilet cleaner in a Baltimore nightclub, could have been crooned over pedal steel by a mid-century country star; his 2009 duet with Black, Dreams-Come-True-Girl, sounds like it's been beamed from a homecoming dance in 1955. Amid his poetic, sometimes gnomic lyrics would come real-world details: in 2012 he told whistleblower Chelsea Manning's story in song, while New Earth – from his previous and, until now, best album Heartmind – addressed Elon Musk, heralding a bright post-apocalyptic world where 'orchids mock him, spread so wide / With a lurid flavour his foul name could not hide'. That particularity and plurality is all over Interior Live Oak, full of dreamscapes anchored in real-world settings (New York's George Washington Bridge, San Francisco's Transamerica Pyramid), and backings that are both classically American but also have their own weird back-country accent. The album opens with Priestess, an ode to a late friend that harks back to McCombs's California youth, again with specific detail amid strange painterly settings: 'In our seminary of contradictions / Ella Fitzgerald, thizz and whippits / you were our priestess.' It's core McCombs mode, grooving along in a slow lupine lope, rather like his best-known song Bum Bum Bum. It gives us the first tear-jerking moment, too, as McCombs yearns to hear his friend sing John Prine's Angel from Montgomery one more time. There are more tears to be shed on piano-driven ballad I Never Dream About Trains, in which our narrator affects not to care about a lost love, his protests underscoring the devastation: 'I never dream about you curled up in that old army jacket / On the sand in Pescadero / I never lie in my songs / And I never dream about trains.' You can imagine Tony Bennett or Frank Sinatra singing it, or another waltzing number, Strawberry Moon. The very best of the ballads is Missionary Bell, a song whose melody is so simple and expressive you can scarcely believe it hasn't always existed. The bells of the title sound across a landscape of 'wild fennel in the wetlands, nightfall hurling down', as McCombs again considers death and the people it leaves behind. The album's long runtime means that these all feel wonderfully unhurried, and it gives McCombs space for other expansive, ruminative songs. Asphodel putters along at the pace of the Modern Lovers' Roadrunner, considering yet another dead friend as McCombs travels through a mystical bardo; Who Removed the Cellar Door? has the twang and wide-angled lens of spaghetti westerns; Lola Montez Danced the Spider Dance is a slow ritualistic stomp with the nihilism and dry heat of a Lorca play. Diamonds in the Mine is a grownup existential lullaby you might sing to a troubled partner; Peace has an acoustic guitar riff of extraordinary dexterity and prettiness; Juvenile, a funny song that throws two fingers up at soulless ad men, is powered by a Devo-style organ line you'll be humming all week. If anything, as the title track's nervy Dylanesque fuzz-rock brings everything to an end, 74 minutes doesn't feel remotely long enough with McCombs on this sort of form. Llondon Actress – Moscow'I'm a dragonfly, you're a cockroach!' The 11th single this year from the young UK rapper-producer delivers on its boasts: a prowling cloud rap track with a repeated vocal melody pulsating through the fug. His new EP Billionaire Supervillain has also just been released.
