With Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) critically injured after being shot, all eyes turn to Holby’s clinical lead Dylan Keogh (William Beck). Calm, brilliant, but often emotionally guarded, Dylan finds himself fighting the hardest battle of his career — keeping his friend alive.

As the ED erupts in panic, Dylan becomes the anchor. His razor-sharp mind kicks in, but behind the cool façade, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Iain isn’t just another patient — he’s family, and Dylan knows the weight of every decision he makes could mean the difference between life and death.

The episode will see Dylan tested in ways fans have never seen before. Colleagues rely on his leadership, but the cracks begin to show as the enormity of the situation bears down on him. For a man who thrives on logic, Dylan is confronted with emotions he can’t simply compartmentalise.

In the aftermath, questions will linger: can Dylan truly separate the doctor from the friend? And if Iain doesn’t survive, will the guilt haunt him forever?

This gripping storyline promises to showcase Dylan at his most vulnerable — and fans should brace themselves for a performance that could redefine his place in Holby’s legacy.
