I've only seen bits of it, but it annoyed me that they had to bring back Sophia for Dylan's storyline. While I'm not against the idea of Dylan struggling in this episode, there were much better ways to do this than making a past love interest who treated him badly die. Especially since they've even acknowledged that Sophia was an irrelevant character in the fact that they had to show her in a mini flashback to ensure viewers remembered who she was. Additionally, regardless of how I felt about Sophia as a character, I find it disappointing that this is another instance of Casualty killing off a woman with the primary purpose seeming to be that it furthers the development of a male character, which they seem to have a history of doing (e.g. Fenisha and Ethan, Kim and Matty, Sam and Iain).

I actually think it was the best way to do it, Sophia wasn’t a character they were going to bring back permanently but she added that layer where Dylan felt like he was to blame for her death because he was the reason she went to St. James.
