This title immediately suggests a gripping and tense storyline from the medical drama Casualty, involving serious misconduct and the threat of exposure!

While the exact character involved depends on when this specific “Internal Affairs” plot aired, the phrase “He Nearly Gets Away With It” in Casualty often refers to a storyline involving Ethan Hardy.

The “He” in Question: Ethan Hardy

• The Storyline: In a significant arc, Dr. Ethan Hardy (played by George Rainsford) was involved in a storyline where he deliberately withheld information or chose not to save the life of the dangerous criminal Scott Ellisson. Scott was the man responsible for the death of Ethan’s brother, Cal, and also responsible for the car crash that left Ethan with life-changing injuries related to his Huntington’s disease.
• The Incident: After Scott was brought into the ED injured, Ethan saw an opportunity for revenge. He subtly and deliberately chose not to intervene in a way that would save Scott’s life, allowing him to die.
• Internal Affairs’ Involvement: This act of medical negligence (or deliberate inaction) was eventually investigated by Internal Affairs. The storyline focused on Ethan’s guilt, his struggle to keep his secret, and the intense scrutiny he faced. Internal Affairs launched a full investigation, putting Ethan’s career and freedom at risk.
• “Nearly Gets Away With It”: For a significant period, Ethan did get away with it, as his actions were subtle enough to be difficult to prove conclusively. However, his conscience, combined with the suspicions of others (like Alicia Munroe), eventually led to the truth surfacing and Internal Affairs closing in. He faced serious consequences, including losing his job for a time, but ultimately, due to various circumstances and his personal torment, he wasn’t prosecuted in a criminal court, allowing him to eventually return to medicine after a period of intense struggle and reflection.

This was a very dark turn for the usually moral Ethan, and the Internal Affairs investigation added immense tension to the storyline.
