In Holby, nothing ever goes to plan—and that includes weddings.

As Faith Cadogan prepares to tie the knot with fellow paramedic Iain Dean, the ED’s golden couple should be basking in pre-wedding bliss. But behind the bridal smiles and bouquet arrangements, Faith is haunted by a storm she can’t quite name—one that threatens to shatter everything she’s been trying to build.

Because in Holby, love is never simple. And for Faith, the question isn’t “will she say I do?”… it’s “should she?”

👰 A Wedding on the Horizon, But Doubt in Her Eyes

Faith has walked through fire—addiction, heartbreak, loss—and come out the other side. She’s one of Holby’s strongest hearts, known for her fierce loyalty and deep empathy. And yet, as her wedding day approaches, there’s something off.

She smiles, but it doesn’t reach her eyes.

She says she’s excited, but she’s already flinching at the dress fittings. The venue. The idea of forever.

Because deep down, Faith is scared.

Scared that she’s not the woman Iain believes in. Scared that this fairy tale might collapse the moment it begins.

“Iain’s the steady one. The calm one. I’m… not that,” she confesses to a colleague.
“What if I ruin this too?”

💔 Ghosts of the Past

Faith’s doubts don’t come from nowhere.

Her past is laced with trauma—both personal and professional. From the death of her daughter Natalia to her battle with painkiller addiction, she’s been through the kind of grief that leaves permanent cracks.

And now, those cracks are starting to widen.

She’s haunted by dreams of losing Iain. Of waking up alone again. Of repeating the patterns she’s worked so hard to break.

Even as Iain showers her with love, plans the perfect day, and surrounds her with certainty, Faith can’t shake the fear that she’s living on borrowed happiness.

🕯️ Iain’s New Side—Is It Too Good to Be True?

Ironically, it’s Iain’s emotional growth that unnerves her the most.

The same man who used to bottle everything up is now making heartfelt speeches, writing vows, and asking his mates to compete RuPaul-style for best man duties.

“He’s changed,” Faith whispers. “But maybe… too much?”

Because change—especially in Holby—is rarely without consequences. And while Faith wants to believe this version of Iain is real, part of her wonders if he’s holding something back.

Is he really ready for marriage? Or is this just Iain’s way of fixing something… by pretending it’s perfect?

👁️ The ED Sees Everything

While the wedding may be dominating her personal life, Faith still has a job to do.

And the ED has become a mirror she can’t avoid.

She watches Flynn struggle with guilt and buried feelings. She sees Rida being torn apart by secrets. She watches Rash wrestle with trust and purpose.

Everyone around her is fighting to hold it together.

And it makes Faith wonder: Is she doing the same thing?

🕊️ A Private Moment… and a Hint of Regret

In a rare quiet scene, Faith sits alone in the staff room, staring at her engagement ring. She twists it. Slips it off. Slips it back on.

She pulls out a photo of Natalia. Her daughter. Her forever heartbreak.

“Would you be proud of me?” she asks softly.
