Will Charlie Fairhead die after Casualty stabbing?

Kyle (Angus Castle-Doughty) was frantic to get away, saying his boss was on his back.

But Jacob (Charles Venn) told him no vehicles could leave – it was a crime scene.

Kyle took no chances and made off in his car, knocking over propane canisters as he tried to escape.

The emergency services moved everyone out of the way as the gas exploded, killing people on the scene immediately.

Kyle was apprehended with drugs and money in a bag, and Teddy (Milo Clarke) made sure the criminal was accompanied to hospital where he would get help for his injuries.

Stevie (Elinor Lawless) thought she'd seen a knife in Kyle's pocket while in A&E, but he managed to convince her otherwise. Oh, if only they'd listened.

Later on, Charlie found Kyle carrying a box full of drugs and pulled a knife on the nurse when he tried to stop him.

The brave nurse called Kyle's bluff, saying he didn't want to stab him, but Kyle did just that, leaving Charlie bleeding out on the floor in the hospital.

Thankfully, Stevie and Faith (Kirsty Mitchell) found him, but as he was bleeding out, will he survive?

We know Thompson is departing his iconic role of Charlie after 37 years on the continuing drama.
