Casualty spoilers: Horror explosion leaves lives on the line and Faith’s secret finally exposed

FAITH Cadogan is keeping a massive secret from those closest to her but she’s set to soon face the music.

However, Casualty characters are met with an even bigger setback following a shocking explosion.

1. Faith is cornered by Iain

Iain Dean (portrayed by Michael Stevenson) has grown increasingly suspicious of Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) after discovering some of her pills hidden in the bathroom.

The Holby City paramedic questions Faith, asking if the pills are hers and she comes clean, admitting they are.

Unfortunately, she only admits half of the truth as she insists they’re part of a legitimate prescription.

Iain sees right through her, connecting the pills to her recent erratic behaviour.

He decides to call her bluff by saying there’s no harm in telling their co-workers about the pills if they are legitimately hers.

Could this push a panicking Faith over the edge?

2. Max gets an ultimatum

Meanwhile, Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell) is frustrated by the rumours of her apparent affair with Max Cristie (Nigel Harman).

The staff nurse is desperate to get away from the gossip and decides to resign but Max tries to stop her from leaving the hospital.

Frustrated, he approaches her to insist she clear up the rumours about him sleeping with her but Jodie immediately turns the tables on him.

She suggests he should apply for a transfer as she feels at home at Holby and refuses to leave after all.

When he fails to muster up an answer, Jodie tells him to leave her alone.

Viewers of the BBC One medical drama were shocked when it was revealed that Jodie is Max’s estranged daughter.

But since their reunion, she has been adamant on having nothing to do with him.

3. Jodie hit with gossip bombshell

Things are finally cleared up for Jodie when her friends take her to the pub for a leaving do.

Unbeknownst to her, Cam Mickelthwaite (Barney Walsh) is debates on telling her how he feels but he’s crushed to find out she has slept with Ryan Firth (Eddie Joe Robbinson).

He’s left devastated when he learns she seemingly slept with Max too.

Soon enough, Jodie is confronted by both Cam and Ryan but she’s horrified to realise Ryan told Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) that Max covered up one of her mistakes.

The penny drops for Jodie as she reaches the conclusion this was the catalyst for all the rumours in the first place.

What will she do?

4. Deadly explosion

The Holby City hospital staff soon have more important matters to handle.

Jodie argues with Cam and Ryan at the pub while Rida Aaman (Sarah Seggari) searches for her.

They’re all caught up in a huge explosion and the pub is plunged into darkness.

Max springs to action after finding out Jodie’s leaving do is held there but he puts himself in massive danger in the process.

Who will survive the disaster?

5. Mortal danger for Faith

One thing is certain – Faith is definitely not safe this week.

After asking Iain if he has told anybody her secret, she tries to keep him silent but he’s sickened by her words and walks away.

Faith is then invited to Jodie’s leaving do by Sah Brockner (Arin Smethurst) and Paige Allcott (Shalisha James-Davis).

While there, Faith escapes to the toilet to take drugs but she passes out before the explosion.

Could this be the end of the line for her?
