Casualty fans break down in tears as BBC medical drama kills off beloved character

CASUALTY fans were left heartbroken as a beloved character was killed off tonight.

Long-standing character Dylan Keogh (William Beck) found himself in a nightmare, involving his beloved dog Dervla.

A vet informed Dylan that Dervla’s cancer had spread and suggested that Dylan begin arrangements to make her comfortable.

During the earlier appointment, Dylan told the vet: “She’s been very lethargic. Been off her food.

“She hasn’t been to the loo this morning and very laboured breathing.”

Distraught fans took to social media as they watched the emotional scenes.

One shared: “Dervla’s death is absolutely heartbreaking.”
