Dylan Keogh grilled over patient deaths
Consultant Dylan Keogh is in a state of angry disbelief as he’s hauled into Holby Police Station in handcuffs this week accused of medical manslaughter.
Picking up directly from the previous episode’s shock arrest, Dylan becomes furious when he’s subjected to an intense interrogation by detective Simon Bell (Shameless star Philip Hill-Pearson).
The doctor’s accuser Aaron Bayliss (Jack Wilkinson) believes Dylan killed his pregnant wife, Thea, thanks to a careless comment by nurse Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell).
“Dylan’s confused how it’s come to be that Aaron has made this allegation,” says William Beck, who plays him. “To Dylan it’s completely ridiculous – he knows he’s done nothing wrong, so this is the last thing he expects.”

Dylan loses his cool
As Detective Bell delves into every area of Dylan’s life, from his seven year sobriety to his personal relationships, the consultant becomes increasingly irate not least because he is desperate to contact his newly pregnant girlfriend, psychiatric nurse Sophia Peters (Kellie Shirley).
With the clock ticking, Dylan doesn’t help his case by insisting he’s charged and released immediately, and ends up being held for 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Sophia’s heartbroken after Dylan fails to show up to discuss their options…

Sophia’s choice
With Dylan a no-show and uncontactable, Sophia assumes that he’s made his position clear and books a clinic appointment for the following morning with the intention of ending her pregnancy.
When Dylan is finally released after 24 hours she doesn’t know what to think. The police have found a bottle of wine in his locker and he is still in the frame for medical manslaughter.
To make up for her recent absences, Jodie takes her nurse pals Rida and Cam Mickelthwaite (Barney Walsh) out for a make-up breakfast at The Anchor. But predictably, midway through, Jodie receives a call from Aaron and drops everything.

Back at work the news about Dylan being banged up filters through the hospital when the police turn up and start searching through his belongings. Soon afterwards Detective Adam James (Glen Wallace, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street, EastEnders) sets up a room to question Dylan’s shocked colleagues.
Stuck babysitting for Aaron, Jodie’s unaware about what’s happening, but is soon forced to face up to her actions when she’s recalled to the ED and interviewed by Detective James. At first she gives him a Jodie-lite version of recent events, but later confesses that she’s been helping Aaron and admits to sleeping with him.
