Casualty: Jamie talks to Siobhan about restraining order

Casualty's Jamie Cleveland (played by Ryan Hawley) has been a man of mystery since he arrived a few weeks ago as a new board member of the hospital. Viewers are aware that he has known Cam Micklethwaite (Barney Walsh) for many years, although they hadn't seen each other for ten years before his appointment, but other than that not much insight has been given into his background.

However, things took a turn tonight in the long-running BBC medical drama when some very dark elements of his past seemed to rear their heads and viewers think they had forgotten his dark secret. A mysterious stranger called Bobby showed up at the hospital and Jamie was extremely panicked.

As he was confronted by him in the Holby corridors Siobhan McKenzie enquired if it was a difficult patient. "He’s the one I’ve got the restraining order against," Jamie said as he hot footed it away.

"You can see now why I gave you the heads up. He’s not supposed to be within 200 metres of me," he said panicked. "He was a good lad. Good family. Too good maybe. Spoilt," he said.

When they finally got to Siobhan's office he explained further. "It was when I volunteered with the youth group. He became obsessed with me. I tried to distance myself and he went off the rails – he burnt down the centre. And that’s when he made his accusation," he said ominously.

Although this was the first viewers heard of it Siobhan was clearly familiar with the story as she responded: "But the court found you not guilty so surely that’s the end of it."

"You would think so but it’s ten years later and here he is still stalking me," Jamie lamented.

Cam has been staying with Jamie due to his home being flooded in the storms and the two appeared pally.

But he was also confronted by Bobby who announced Jamie had raped him and he alluded that Cam had also been a victim.

Viewers were astonished by this development and believed there was more to it and took to X to share their thoughts.
@Kloppenheimer asked: "Did the guy Cam is staying with also rape him too??"

@steviesfaith said: "I always had bad vibes about Jamie poor Bobby #Casualty."

@RyanTheSoapking added: "I feel sorry for Cam. Siobhan shouldn't have spoke to him the way she did a few weeks back."

@thiznited penned: "idk about everyone else but I 100% believe Bobby and I'm getting the vibe that the exact same thing happened to Cam." (sic)
