Dylan Keogh's (William Beck) fate appears sealed in this week's episode of Casualty as he is rushed to Holby Emergency Department with spine, neck, and head injuries following a devastating car crash. The beloved character has been spiraling since discovering that his son Matty Linlaker (Aron Julius) had been sleeping with Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless).
Dylan's Descent and Relapse
In recent episodes of the BBC One medical drama, recovering alcoholic Dylan reached a very dark place. After reporting Stevie to Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) in revenge, he struggled to process the betrayal. At a ceremony, he relapsed and reached for champagne. The last viewers saw of Dylan, he was driving his car with a bottle of clear liquid nearby.
Visit to His Father
This week's installment reveals Dylan's whereabouts. While it initially appears he might be checking into rehab, it is confirmed that he is outside a care home. Dylan visits his father, Brian (David Beames), who has not been seen since 2018. On edge and unpredictable, Dylan tells his dad that he is the reason he will never be a proper father to Matty. When Brian fails to engage, Dylan discovers his father has encephalopathy and does not recognize him. Worse, Brian calls him a 'runt' he never cared for.
The Voice Message and Crash
Back at the ED, Matty receives a voice message from Dylan. In it, Dylan says he thought he was like his dad but realizes he is not cruel and truly cares for Matty. To Matty and Stevie's horror, the message ends with a loud crash. Seconds later, the red phone rings, and the team learns Dylan is being brought in with spine, neck, and head injuries. Distraught, Matty tells Flynn about Dylan's drinking.
Will Dylan Survive?
The episode leaves viewers questioning whether Dylan caused the crash and if the team can save him. According to Metro, Dylan's death appears 'sealed' as the crash has a devastating outcome. The episode airs this week on BBC One.
