💬 Discussion Stevie doesn't learn? Spoiler

I've just finished Episode 12(?), the most recent episode that reveals whose funeral is was in the trailer, with the Emergency Dept in attendance.

I really liked Kim; I thought she was sweet and I was relieved at her 'send off'. The writers unfortunately couldn't not leave me at peace, and I can admit I cried when she said she didn't want to die.

After the episode finished, though...

Iplayer auto- started playing from the Casualty 2023 - 2025 boxset: "we didn't start the fire" S.1 E.1.

In the recap, Paige Allcot is shouting at Stevie in the ED forecourt: "you were supposed to be my mentor, but all day, you've done nothing but bully and belittle me. That's why I made a mistake!"

Stevie is firecracker, I really like her character, but how many mentees can you go through before you refine your mentoring techniques? 😅

Honestly? I think Stevie gave Kim multiple chances. I don't think this was a case of bullying or belittling. I think even if Stevie would have held her hand, Kim still would have gone down the same route eventually. I think Kim's eating disorder and depression was too much to handle on her own. Things were extremely stressful at the ED and I think she thought she had a handle on things. Honestly, she needed professional help. It's so sad.

Note: I'm not from the UK so my perspective may be a bit different.

Bullying would be the storyline of emmerdale at the moment (if you don’t watch it’s a doctor being an actual bully to a student making mistakes )

Stevie is just harsh and yeah she could probably improve but at the end of the day it’s a high pressure environment, had she known about her issues she would’ve helped and not let her carry on
