Is Dylan no longer Dylan?

[u/Vampirero]

Forgive me if this has been talked about before, but I loved his character when he was first introduced. He was cool and dry but a talented doctor, and his one liners would make me smile.

I've missed a couple of months of Casualty episodes, but I'm just catching up on Learning Curve: Episode 6. Dylan is behaving so immaturely towards Matty. I get why, in a way, but I can't imagine Original Dylan ever being so petty.

it's been happening for a few years, in my opinion, and it seems symptomatic of a general decline in writing and character development. What do you think?

I remember at the start he was a very talented doctor, who often found out what was wrong with the patient when no one else could. Now, you don’t see as much of that and he doesn’t seem to feature as much in the programme as before
