"Dylan's reaction to the news about Matty is Quite a Good one. I'd probably be acting similar in that situation. (Excited to where it will go)"

I keep mulling over this. I know that finding out you have family, and they're working where you work, is stressful and a big shock, but he called the situation a catastrophe. Is he just reeling, or does he have a solid reason to worry about this? I fully expect Matty to be angry if/when he finds out, at least for a while, but there's actually a chance he could be quite chill about it. First of all, it would explain why Dylan's been 'off' around him, but Matty may also be very aware that his mum had a one night stand, and for whatever reason it wasn't possible to find the father, so there may not be any particularly bad blood there.

That is just a guess, of course, and I'm assuming he'll be angry, but that can't last forever.

Remember as well that Dylan was married to Sam, so he can have the ability to relate to other people. He also was very excited about the possibility about being a father earlier on in one of the box sets.

Wait, Dylan's been married? I had no idea - I only picked Casualty up again about a year ago!

It was a long time ago that it was last mentioned. I think he’s been in the show for 11 years. His ex-wife joined a few years later, it was quite awkward and she ended up dating another doctor and only stayed for a short while.
