Casualty viewers have expressed outrage after Stevie Nash and Matty Linlaker shared a passionate kiss in the latest episode, now available on BBC iPlayer. The fan-favourite ED consultant, played by Elinor Lawless, has been struggling with pain and was prescribed opioids, which she ultimately took amid high stress from explosions on Wyvern Estate.
Under the influence of the drugs, Stevie made a grave mistake by administering too much morphine to a young patient. Matty, played by Aron Julius, discovered the error but chose to take the blame when confronted by Dylan Keogh, Matty's father. Stevie later declined Matty's dinner invitation, but the pair have been having an affair following the death of Kim Chang.
Fans took to social media to criticise the relationship, with one writing: 'stevie why???? I love you sm but matty???' Another predicted drama: 'STEVIE NO!!! this won’t end well'. The show airs Saturdays at 8:45pm on BBC One or streams from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
