Episode 1067

Episode 1067 is the eighteenth episode of the thirty-second series of the British medical drama television series Casualty, and the 1067th episode of the overall series. The episode was written by Dana Fainaru, directed by Julie Edwards and produced by Jo Johnson, and premiered on BBC One on 6 January 2018. The episode is a climax to Connie Beauchamp's (Amanda Mealing) cardiac tumour storyline, which sees her travel to London with Ethan Hardy (George Rainsford) to seek treatment. Mealing, who battled breast cancer in 2002, struggled with anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder as a result of the storyline. The episode also further explores the friendship between Connie and Ethan, which is tested when Connie kisses Ethan and he does not respond.

The majority of the episode is set in London and the scenes were filmed on-location across one day in September 2017. Despite being filmed in September, the scenes were set in winter. Crew struggled to display this as passers-by were wearing summer clothing. Rainsford enjoyed filming in the city, although he felt it had a negative effect on the following day's filming. Episode 1067 also features the continuation of Dylan Keogh's (William Beck) alcoholism storyline. Actress Linda Marlowe guest starred in the episode for the storyline. The episode was promoted through promotional trailers, and was watched by 4.9 million viewers in a 28-day period. While Louise McCreesh of Digital Spy called the episode "emotional" and "heartbreaking", other elements of the episode were criticised for their lack of realism by critics and viewers alike.
