Return date is apparently 10th January with the next block called Learning Curve. I do wonder if Ngozi will survive after the cliffhanger we were left on in September!

Screaming at Maddy from The Traitors appearing

Incredibly powerful episode today exploring the aftermath of Siobhan's attack, it really got to me a couple of times. I really like how this arc is progressing, we've got so much going on with all of the stories.

I haven’t got round to watching this episode yet but can’t wait to see it. Melanie Hill is such a good actress so I don’t doubt that she’ll put in a fab performance either!

Another brilliant episode today, the show is on fire right now

I cannot get over how strong this block of episodes is. Really great character driven stories and the idea to bring in the CQC element is showing some more depth. The cast is very strong right now too! I do wonder if the hospital will end up closing which will feed into the move to Wales that's supposed to happen next year. Whatever happens, it's going in strong to its 40th anniversary later this year.

Echoing all of the above there Lewis! Melanie Hill is brilliant in this and showcasing what an actress she is. Really liking the new additions to the cast too and like you say the CQC involvement to this series has added something unique and made the series feel more tense.

I think the cast is pretty strong and tight my only niggle this block of episodes is that my fellow Geordie Nicole hasn’t had a lot to do yet so I’m hoping we see more of her! I’ve always loved Casualty but it does feel very strong at the moment a rare show where there isn’t a real weak link amongst the cast and I don’t just watch out of habit as can be the case with long running shows and the soaps, like I actively look forward to each episode!
