Casualty viewers heartbroken for Ruby after her sister Violette dies
It was another emotionally-charged episode of Casualty tonight (February 22) as Ruby's sister Violette relapsed and got rushed into hospital.
Violette tried her best to get clean at rehab and get her baby daughter, Harmony, back from her sister Ruby after she took over custody. Things seemed to be looking up for her, as she was even refusing to take methadone.
When Ruby met her at rehab, she had been complaining of a backache and Ruby put it down to a symptom of withdrawal, however it turned out to be much more serious than they first thought.
She had suffered from a large aortic aneurysm, which sent her into cardiac arrest.

The team performed CPR for over half an hour but they were unsuccessful and she sadly died, devastating Ruby.
It was the sad ending to this storyline which has seen Ruby try and help her sister and then take her daughter Harmony in to ensure she was safe.
Viewers were heartbroken for Ruby, who was understandably devastated.
One viewer tweeted: "#Casualty that was so heartbreaking, ruby had been my favourite character since she entered (and David) and it’s so heartbreaking seeing her like this."
Another wrote: "#casualty been watching Ruby and Violet’s journey. Kelly Gough and @maddy_hill90 were so great, and broke my wee heart tonight."
Another viewer tweeted: "When #Casualty is good it's really good. Top form with the Violet storyline tonight. The reveal of the aortic aneurysm was perfectly done."
