Jodie Whyte’s reputation is in tatters at Holby ED following the revelation that

she slept with Aaron Bayliss after his wife’s funeral and inadvertently caused the arrest of consultant Dylan Keogh.

Now, with friends and colleagues turning their backs on her, this week the BBC medical drama dives into the nurse’s past and examines the origins of her reckless behaviour in Casualty episode Jodie on Saturday, February 15 2025 at 9.20pm (See our TV Guide for listings).

Here’s everything you need to know about the eighth episode of the 11-part Public Property boxset.

Jodie Whyte – flashback special

Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell) is at the centre of this special standalone episode, which flashes back to January 2020 when she was a student midwife at Brockwell Hospital Maternity Unit.

There, under the critical eye of stern senior midwife Maria Mayhew (Laurie Brett – see below for more on the guest cast and characters), Jodie is proving to be a talented medic.

On the home front, however, Jodie’s life is about to fall apart. She’s shocked to discover that her mum, Rachel (Lucy Lowe), has secretly stopped chemotherapy treatment after years of battling cancer…

At first Rachel and her carer Sheila Addison (Cathy Murphy) keep the truth from Jodie, but it’s not long before she works it out.
