Casualty fans were left devastated as they saw actress Rosie Jones wrap up the heart-wrenching storyline of Paula and custody of her baby.
Viewers were elated when the opening half of the show saw the struggling mum reunited with her infant after a hearing that finally fell in her favour.
However, as she took over the care of Ena after some strong words of encouragement from fan favourite doctor Dylan Keogh she found herself in a desperate situation when the baby developed a rash, causing her to panic.
As she rushed her beloved daughter to hospital and sought Dylan’s help she began to question if she was capable of providing the love and care the child needed as her mother after all.

However, once she realised she wasn’t to blame for the illness and was reassured further by Dylan, Paula agreed that she would seek additional help at night before happily heading away from Holby in a cab with her daughter in her arms.
Heartbroken fans took to Twitter to heap praise on Rosie for her emotional and gut-wrenching performance as the struggling mum.
One wrote: “Gutted Paula’s storyline is coming to an end! @josierones has been phenomenal, hasn’t she?”
