Jac Naylor is shaken when Dylan makes demands in Casualty and Faye turns up in Holby City. Will the cutting-edge surgeon speak her mind?
It's a big week for Jac Naylor. First she pops up in Casualty on Saturday, and then next Tuesday she comes face-to-face with her ultimate nemesis in Holby City!
In Saturday's Casualty fans will see super surgeon Jac (Holby City legend Rosie Marcel) rankled when discourteous clinical lead Dylan Keogh (William Beck) summons her to the ED. Nurse David Hide’s son Ollie, 14, needs urgent surgery and there’s no time for pleasantries.
Which is great news for fans of Jac and Dylan, who are in for a treat as these two equally abrupt medics bump heads!
By the time Tuesday rolls around, however, Jac’s encounter with Dylan is long forgotten, as a nasty storm brews in Holby City.
Jac's astounded when her mortal enemy Faye Morton (Patsy Kensit) turns up needing a transplant. To make matters worse Faye’s rekindled her romance with Joseph Byrne (Luke Roberts), who was once the love of Jac’s life.

It’s quite the reunion - full of bile, backbiting and ferocious one-liners!
Fortunately, Jac's been practising her put-down skills for years.
