The current series of The Royal has now finished. See below to find out what happened in the final episode

Busman's Holiday
Alun and Jack are delighted when Casualty is overrun by a gaggle of screaming teenage bikini-clad girls. Dr Burnett discovers the girls have been stung by jellyfish on the beach when one of the girls, Lucy, collapses with a swollen bite on her leg.

Meanwhile, Jack gets a fright when a corpse that he’s wheeling to the mortuary springs to life and turns out to be his old navy buddy, Duncan. After a night of drinking in the pub, they emerge slightly worse for wear, so Jack decides to let Duncan sleep in the private suite. However, it proves to be more difficult to get him out of the hospital in the morning.

Elsewhere, Susie makes a bet with Lizzie that she’ll be able to get Carnegie to take her out on a date. Their relationship is soon the talk of the hospital and Bobby (Chris Coghill) is jealous, but how can he compete with the suit and the flashy Jaguar?

Its Middleditch’s birthday and he and his wife have invited Matron, Brigid, Ormerod, Weatherill and Lizzie to a party at their home in the countryside. Middleditch notices Matron is looking slightly under the weather, and she admits she’s having difficulties running the hospital and keeping an eye on Susie, particularly as she’s now started a relationship with Carnegie.

Middleditch reassures her that she still has plenty of fight in her, but Matron’s not so sure. Is she failing to cope with her role at The Royal?
