This week in Casualty, Doctors and Holby City

This week in the BBC Medical sagas…

The second part that ‘flashes back’ to Christmas 2020 sees Iain battle for his life, and Charlie does not recognise Laura.

The cliffhanger last week saw Laura Merriman’s daughter Rosie fall over a railing and down a flight of stairs, the shock of Rosie being pushed over the bannister was added to by the fact she’s pregnant. Now she needs an emergency operation to save the baby.
