Casualty viewers were left in shock after viewing last night’s ‘superb’ episode, where Doctor Stevie Nash realised the truth about her new love interest, firefighter Rich. 

In last night’s instalment of BBC medical drama Casualty (which aired Saturday, 27th July) Stevie, played by Elinor Lawless reacted to the news that the man she’s been sleeping with is colleague Siobhan’s husband – and viewers were quick to comment on the impactful episode.

‘Shocking times for Stevie. The crushing realisation on the very moment Stevie discovered the man she’s sleeping with is Siobhan’s husband! Superbly directed by @SeanHealyJNR, wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

‘@Elinor_Lawless nailed that expression and then some.’

To which actor Sean Healy replied, ‘Ah thank you Andy. Great team.’

While another said, ‘Woah, @elinor_lawless absolutely nailed it tonight. thought a couple of times Stevie was going to vomit then and there lmao.

‘You could see the moment her heart fell out her arse. SO GOOD. can’t wait for the rest of this storyline to unfold.’

And another wrote, ‘Finally watching #Casualty cos i’m not gonna lie I got home last night and fell asleep. Stevie saying ‘I know what I am’ just broke my heart a little bit. Stevie you are amazing and deserve so much better then Rich!’

While another commented, ‘Please give stevie some happiness, poor woman has been through the wringer since she arrived and it’s not getting any better by the looks of things. thanks in advance!’

And another wrote, with a prediction for what’s next, ‘Have a funny feeling she won’t “end it, obviously.” because this is Stevie.’
