Casualty confirms Dylan’s fate amid fears he will die in car crash tragedy

There were huge fears for Dylan, who vanished – and a big shock followed (Picture: BBC / Metro) Casualty spoilers follow for Saturday’s (July 18) episode that is now available to view on BBC iPlayer. The episode in question will air on BBC One at 8:20pm. Dylan Keogh (William Beck) was thought to be in a serious way when the doctors at Holby’s ED were notified that he had spine, neck and head injuries after being involved in a road traffic collision. The consultant, as viewers know, relapsed earlier this month, taking a drink at an event after delivering a keynote speech. He’d been struggling in the wake of discovering that colleague and mate Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) had been sleeping with his son Dr Matty Linlaker (Aron Julius). Matty told Dylan in confidence that he’d fallen for Stevie – who he’d covered for when she accidentally administered a morphine overdose to a patient – and said that he would deal with the situation himself.

Dylan, however, took matters into his own hands, reporting Stevie’s mistake and her affair to Clinical Lead Flynn Byron (Olly Rix), which almost cost Stevie her career.

Stevie, meanwhile, was horrified to learn that Dylan had been drinking and was unable to locate him. Dylan was subsequently seen driving with a bottle by his side. In tonight’s episode, he headed to a care home to visit his dad Brian, who didn’t recognise him due to the year’s of drinking. Dylan paid his dad a visit (Picture: BBC STUDIOS) Brian said some horrible things about Dylan, who rushed out of the building and got back in his car, before proceeding to drink from the clear bottle beside him. He left Matty a voicemail, reiterating that he’s not like his own dad and that he does care about him. Back at the ED, Matty and Stevie were concerned over the fact that they’d been unable to locate Dylan and, in shock scenes, they listened to the voicemail – which concluded with a thunderous noise, indicative of a crash. Horrified, Stevie urged Matty to call his dad back but as they moved through the hospital, they saw their colleagues standing around reception desk as Clinical Nurse Manager Siobhan (Melanie Hill) received a call, notifying them of a collision – in which Dylan was thought to have sustained serious injuries. Matty was told by Flynn to sit this one out given that Dylan is his dad but he refused and thus joined his colleagues outside as the ambulances transporting the injured patients = arrived. Matty and Stevie were left worried about Dylan after reports of a crash he was involved in (Picture: BBC STUDIOS) To their surprise, however, the injured man wasn’t Dylan but simply had his coat. Dylan was in another ambulance and, aside from a cut to his face, was largely okay. Fans had been worried sick about Dylan’s fate since confirmation that a crash would occur so this will no doubt be good news for the viewers. Flynn, however, had been tipped off by Stevie about Dylan’s relapse and thus urged him to take a breathalyser test before assisting with the incoming trauma patients. Dylan did as he was told and the test confirmed that he had not been drinking. Matty, meanwhile, struggled when the patient initially thought to be Dylan went into cardiac arrest, with Dylan and all those around him urging him to stop compressions. Matty wanted to continue and Dylan relented but, despite the patient being revived, it was clear that he wasn’t going to survive, which led to Dylan having to inform his family that the machine was basically keeping the man alive. Matty realised that he should’ve listened to Dylan, who promised that he would do whatever it takes to overcome his addiction and be there for him. In emotional scenes, the father and son duo shared a hug. Is this the beginning of the duo having a proper father and son relationship?
