Casualty fans have been left perplexed over a recent storyline centred on Jacob Masters (played by Charles Venn) and his missing son.
In last night's instalment of BBC medical drama Casualty (which aired Saturday 10th August), Jacob finally found his missing son Blake, after spending time caring for his son Carter.
But viewers were confused over where Blake's mother Elle was during the search.
'Genuinely baffled as to why they’ve never mentioned Elle, is it to make out that Jacob is the only one who cares about Blake - it doesn’t work because we seen how much Elle loved her kid,' wrote one fan of the BBC show on X (formerly Twitter).
'Yea, same here mate,' replied another. 'Don't understand why they haven't mentioned Elle, but maybe it's because Blake only wants his dad (Jacob).'

While others noted how Jacob's search for his son was damaging other relationships in his life, particularly in the case of his housemate Jan.
