Casualty spoilers for both episodes below…
Robyn Miller’s baby bombshell
Nurse Robyn Miller is under pressure when her surrogacy plans with Marty Kirkby and Adi Kapadia become the talk of the ED!
The rumour mill goes into overdrive after Robyn’s on-off boyfriend Paul Pegg (Paul Popplewell) discovers their surrogacy contract in the work printer. The hospital receptionist has never supported her baby plans and this week he accuses her of selling her body!
Robyn (Amanda Henderson) tells him to back off, but Paul’s comments get under her skin. Upset, she asks Marty why do they need a contract when they’re all friends?
Unsure, nurse Marty (Shaheen Jafargholi) speaks to his social worker boyfriend, Adi (Raj Bajaj), who explains he wants clear boundaries. He’s worried about Robyn’s vision for their future as she’s started calling herself ‘auntie Robyn.’
Elsewhere, Paul continues to meddle! He tells Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) everything. Shocked, Charlie confronts Marty and reveals Robyn recently had a traumatic termination. Marty’s shaken and wants to know why Robyn kept this secret. Meanwhile, Paul’s campaign to stop the surrogacy continues when he accuses Adi of exploitation!
With everyone weighing in on her private business Robyn takes decisive action. She threatens to report Paul to HR for harassment if he continues to interfere. But despite her words, damage has been done - Robyn, Marty and Adi are all secretly having doubts.
Later, having cooled off, Robyn makes a shock public announcement that leaves her friends speechless!
What will she decide?

Robyn’s new chapter
In this week’s second episode, Skin Deep, Robyn has a deeply challenging shift, both personally and professionally.
Exhausted and unwell she is struggling with IVF side effects. Marty is concerned while Paul expresses a change of heart about her surrogacy plans.
The hospital receptionist reveals he finally understands why she is helping Marty and Adi. In a heartfelt moment he asks if they can get back together. Robyn, however, turns her back on him and suggests he asks out hospital cleaner Trudy (Tonya Smith) instead, who she saw him flirting with earlier!
She doesn’t see a future for them, yet is clearly jealous. Will Paul stick around or turn to Trudy?
Meanwhile, the dedicated nurse cares for vulnerable patient Louis Marsh (The A Word’s Travis George), in an emotional storyline. Even when she’s injured in the line of duty, Robyn can’t help but go above and beyond and sets about organising a reunion with his beloved former carer, Magda (Katarina Andrejcova).
The experience gives lonely Robyn pause for thought about going through the surrogacy alone... Has she been too hasty with Paul?
