March 19, 20232 yr Not 3 exits in one episode last night :o That one really hit hard, along with last week's, just showing how much pressure the NHS is genuinely under and I'm glad the BBC aren't shying away from it as it makes it more true to life. I do wonder where things can go from here. That was 3 main characters gone just like that, not to mention there only being 3 nurses a part of the lead cast now. Sacha appearing too was a nice touch, but it baffles me it's taken them almost a whole year to have any sort of Holby City crossover.
March 23, 20232 yr And just like that Jaye Jacobs has joined reprising her role as Donna Jackson from Holby City. Her character is reassigned to the ED following the departure of Marty and David. Donna will be joined by 4 new nurses: Ryan (Eddie-Joe Robinson), Rida (Sarah Seggari), Jodie (Anna Chell) and Cam (Barney Walsh).
May 30, 20232 yr Derek Thompson to leave Casualty after 37 years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65754747 Edited May 31, 20232 yr by Mark.
May 30, 20232 yr It's been a long time coming really for Charlie. I've noticed him appearing far less frequently too and he's had nothing to do since Duffy died. A shame as Derek is a great actor when given the material. Please don't kill him off, PLEASE.
September 23, 20232 yr Amid soaring production costs, Casualty is now on hiatus and will return later this year. The BBC have confirmed that we will now get fewer episodes each year moving forward. A brief return has been confirmed for Zoe Hanna for Charlie's exit
October 21, 20232 yr Still no word on when the show's coming back but Jon Sen has announced he's leaving his role as Executive Producer.
December 8, 20232 yr Some new castings confirmed Adesuwa Oni has joined as Ngozi, a new ED nurse Melanie Hill has joined as Siobhan, the new Clinical Nurse Manager taking over from Donna.
February 8, 20241 yr More casting news! Jamie Glover (Waterloo Road, The Crown) will join as a new Clinical Lead, Patrick Onley. Manpreet Bachu (Killing Eve) joins as junior doctor Tariq Hussein, who is also Rash's cousin. Sammy T Dobson (Byker Grove, Boy Meets Girl) joins as junior doctor Nicole Piper.
March 6, 20241 yr It is the start of Charlie's exit this weekend and will conclude with his final episode next week. A return has been confirmed for Josh Griffiths next week too
June 8, 20241 yr Quite the hard hitting episode tonight to round out this block of episodes. The next 12 episode arc is called 'Sinking Ships'. Kellie Shirley (Carly Wicks in EastEnders) is joining as Sophia Peters.
September 7, 20241 yr I had wondered how the episode reduction was going to properly manifest but it's exactly the same as last year. The finale of the current block is airing tonight but after that it will be off air until Christmas. It was such a long break last year ugh 😩
December 4, 20241 yr Christmas special airs 21st December 9:20pm The series returns from its break properly 28th December Edited December 4, 20241 yr by lewis🎄green
December 21, 2024Dec 21 If you don't want to wait until tonight, the Christmas special is up on iPlayer already. It's a very strong story on blood donation and its impacts now and in the past whilst being interspersed with real life stories. Stevie and Dylan were amazing!
June 13Jun 13 The last block of episodes were brilliant! The new set starts tomorrow and it's looking just as good focused on drug addiction
July 19Jul 19 An 'Invitation to Tender' has gone out to production companies to invite them to produce 3 series of Casualty from 2026 which will focus on more of a setting in Wales. Wyvern Valley, the fictional South Western area of England where it's currently set, will no longer be the focus of the show with a change coming in to focus on a portrayal of the Welsh NHS. Intrigued how they'll address it and hope it's not just blowing up the hospital and everyone "moving" so hopefully it's tactful. The BBC have said in their request "The move to Wales will also present opportunities for new cast members but we would expect that much loved characters to remain part of the editorial shift to the location of the new Welsh hospital." This could mean some significant cast changes, nothing we're not already used to really but hopefully it's not too dramatic.Anyway, the show is off air until next month, no return date as of yet.
