Iain Dean stunned by Faith’s secret
Iain Dean and Faith Cadogan's secrets and lies storyline reaches a shocking climax, as the nurse’s darkest secret is revealed in terrifying circumstances…
Viewers know that Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) is helplessly dependent on diazepam, since being sexually assaulted last year. However, those closest to the ED nurse have no idea about her hidden torment and pill-popping — least of all her paramedic boyfriend Iain Dean. But that’s set to change!
This week Faith is horrified when her son Luka’s visiting friend Johnny suffers a fit after drinking her orange juice laced with crushed pills. Frightened, Faith races the boy to the ED and is forced to tell doctor Paige Allcott (Shalisha James-Davis) that she thinks he’s overdosed. Paige takes Faith at her word and begins treating Johnny, until consultant Dylan Keogh (William Beck) steps in and diagnoses meningitis.
Now Faith has another reason to panic — Johnny’s mum, Penny, threatens to report her misdiagnosis, while Dylan wants answers about why she thought the boy had access to drugs!
Anxious to cover her tracks, Faith makes up a lie about the medication belonging to another of her son’s friends, which Dylan believes.
But later, Iain (Michael Stevenson) becomes suspicious when Faith repeats the lie only for Luka to reveal that his other friend has never visited their house. Then Iain makes a sickening discovery…
Noticing the toilet flush isn’t working properly he opens the cistern and finds Faith’s stash of pills!
Speaking to us Michael Stevenson revealed: “Drugs have no place in Iain’s life.” Read the full interview here.
Realising what’s behind Faith’s increasingly erratic behaviour, will Iain walk away?
Rida suspects Jodie and Dylan are together
Rida Amaan turns detective this week after finding a pair of sunglasses belonging to Jodie Whyte's mystery lover… But it turns out her inner Jessica Fletcher is malfunctioning!
Keen to uncover the identity of Jodie’s new fella, Rida (Sarah Seggari) thinks she’s cracked the case when she overhears Dylan saying he’s lost his sunnies. Certain he’s her prime suspect, Rida attempts to return ‘Dylan’s’ glasses, while giving him a piece of her mind into the bargain. Cue pure embarrassment and a hasty retreat!
Ryan’s revenge!
Meanwhile, Jodie (Anna Chell) is actually hooking up with hospital badboy Ryan Firth! But it looks like their romance is going to be short lived.
Ryan (Eddie-Joe Robinson) overhears Jodie joking about him and decides to take revenge…
Ryan tells consultant Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) about Max Cristie covering up Jodie’s mistake with patient Freya Hall.
Stevie takes the news really well…
We lied. Stevie does not take the news about Jodie and Max's lies well. In fact, there is a very public confrontation!
