All Saints

The first episode of All Saints leaves us in no doubt that the nursing staff of Ward 17 will do anything to help their patients, even if it means putting their jobs on the line.

Hearts are at stake. Connor's isn't exactly broken, but it's badly bruised when he realises that Bron and Luke are sleeping together.
