Casualty/Holby City Discussion Thread

[Black Dagger]

It is about the show.

[Denver]

This is so emotional Sam has been a favourite of mine for years and i was so excited when she returned last year

[Amy Jade]

</3

[Denver]

This is Jeff all over again

[Ant.]

Well that was ****ing dreadful

[Ant.]

Gee wiz let's bring back a loved character and do little to nothing with her for a year and then kill her off

[Denver]

We didnt deserve that

[Denver]

A beautiful interview from a beautiful Queen

[Ant.]

We deserved a year of storylines for Sam and more development and her to go off on a long holiday before coming back like, some other time

[Ant.]

What is interesting is how Ruby questioned Iain for sitting with someone, talking, and having a cuppa a few weeks ago

But then today she's pretty much telling him to stay and do what they did a few weeks prior and he didn't listen

[Denver]

Can not wait for Chelsea Halfpenny to take the Strictly Glitterball

[Morgan.]

****ing gutted that Sam died </3 She was my fave character back in the day and I'm sad that not only did she get no development, she had romantic connections with the worst s character (Jacob) and was a right bitch to our Ruby.

I was ready for ha to survive this and then have her redemption arc but NO!

[Morgan.]

I'm just glad that Alicia, Iain and Dylan are all still standing. But Sam living would've topped it off.

it's pretty tragic how Sam's return seemed to have no purpose beyond making Lily feel jealous of her and Iain and dating Jacob

[Firewire]

'I dont want to die'

Hmmmmmmm so why known yourself off a bridge into a speeding ambulance?

It's not real

[Ant.]

Sometimes it takes an actual suicide attempt for the suicidal person to realise they want to live.

^

Like I remember seeing similar situations and the same thing being said in other shows

and then I saw this video:
WcSUs9iZv-g

"the millisecond my hands left the rail... it was an instant regret"

[Ant.]

You gotta love how the ED staff always insist people get checked over in the most simple of scenarios regardless of whether they're physically injured or not, yet Iain and Sam weren't asked. So basically the one time they didn't want to check if two paramedics who were at the scene of an explosion (one of which was involved in a crash) resulted in death

[DrunkerThanMoses]

It was a waste of her returning tbh. I can see why she did it as she had a baby in real life so easy money for her... But they never did anything with her. Hope they bring Tom back for her funeral... Might happen as she is married to him in real life

[Morgan.]

Thing to expect in the new series.
- Tackling bigger issues
- Dark times for Iain
- Lots more of Ruby
- Massive strain on Charlie and Duffys marriage
- Jacobs past
- Romance for Dylan
- The return of Zha Zha (Sharon Gless)
- More Holby and Casualty Crossovers
- Experimental Episodes
- Two new student nurses with a rivalry
- 'Some' new doctors
- Sarisfying end to Alicia's story (not a jail sentence)
- More between Alicia and Ethan
- Less of Connies vulnerable side, more feisty
- Lots of surprises
- A new style of Xmas episode

[Oliver_W]

I'm pretty sure the stock footage ambulance crash in last night's "previously" section was the first time we actually saw the accident from outside!

Overall a good episode, I liked Mr Morris and Hoke!

[reece(:]

Welp at the way Roxanna died on Holby, unsettling

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Welp at the way Roxanna died on Holby, unsettling

Gaskill is such a creep... When is he being exposed?

[Oliver_W]

If anyone watched Casualty ... did anyone else think the episode was gonna end with the lady sadly climbing into the freezer, and closing the lid?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Sorta I thought she was going to kill herself but didn't think she would do that

[Oliver_W]

Sorta I thought she was going to kill herself but didn't think she would do that

That would have been an amusing way to end the episode, a nice little bookend to the beginning.

Or she locked the cheating husband in the freezer :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Or she locked the cheating husband in the freezer :laugh:

Next year Ruby pops by and for a few scenes it looks like she's having lunch with her husband and kid, but then it turns out she's rocking back and forth in the corner, laughing hysterically, in a sea of piss <3

[Morgan.]

Christmas storylines for casualty.

1. Charlie and Duffy struggle in their relationship
2. Duffys Dementia ordeal
3. Iain makes a pass at Ruby
4. Marty continues to pretend Robyn's baby is his
5. Ethan and Alicia stuggle in their relationship
6. Jan has a series of mysterious calls and pays someone a sum of money over the phone
7. Dylan has a lonely Christmas

And then things we can assume or hint at from the trailer.
1. Charlie and Duffy breakup
2. Iain faces jail time
3. Elle gets a promotion (she begins wearing her own clothes)

[RileyH]

Dylan has a lonely Christmas

do you even watch casualty/holby city :joker:

[RileyH]

do you even watch casualty/holby city :joker:

no but I can start :hugesmile:

[Ant.]

no but I can start :hugesmile:

pls do :lovedup:

ive not watched for like 3 months tho oop

[Liam-]

If Connie isn’t your favourite then you’re wrong

[hijaxers]

pls do :lovedup:

ive not watched for like 3 months tho oop

I've never watched either after the 1st episode and was hoping to read it was its last xmas - talk about flog a dead horse.

[Denver]

Shock exit on this week's Casualty

Chelsea Halfpenny has quit and her last episode is Saturday

[Liam-]

:omgno:

[Headie]

I hate Ian so ****ing much

[Gstar]

Not two different shows in the same thread

[Morgan.]

Not two different shows in the same thread

I mean they're literally Set in the same hospital.

[Denver]

There will be a 2 part crossover on the 2nd and 5th of March and it hints at one character dying

[Morgan.]

My god Connies attack was quite awful to watch :omgno:

[Denver]

Louise left the show on Saturday

[Amy Jade]

All the interesting characters are leaving and the newer ones ain't filling the gap at all.

Shaquil from EE is annoying and the girl who started at the same time is too.

[Denver]

Shaquil from EE is annoying and the girl who started at the same time is too.

There is a potential death soon as well as the likes of Ethan, Dylan, Ian and Jan who I don't see sticking around much longer

[Amy Jade]

Dylan has gotten tedious anyways now. Only storyline I like is Daffy's and thats not going to end well :(

[Morgan.]

Yeah it's hard to see where the shows going tbh, gutted to lose Louise. Had a love hate feeling towards her but I really liked her these past few months.

Although with her resigning I'm not sure how that'll help her financial situation? The whole storyline was a little dramatic tbh, I doubt she'd be depending on foodbanks. She wouldn't be living a life of luxury - but she'd have enough to support herself surely?

[Denver]

So Ian is the person that Connie is trying to save next week??

[Denver]

I'm guessing

Ian overdoses and is rushed to the hospital where he needs surgery to survive while Sasha also needs surgery to survive and I'm guessing Ian will probably die??

[Morgan.]

Are they really gonna kill off another paramedic? They've been leaving one after the others lately - and this year is meant to focus on the paramedic team. Idk it doesn't seem right.

its hinted at someone dying and that last scene made it look like it will be Ian unless they do a massive swerve

[Morgan.]

Also

Casualty films 4 months in advance and he was seen on set in the past week so I assume he's not going anywhere

[Denver]

Amanda Mealing has said she wants to return to Holby

[Ant.]

Well that was stressful

[Vanessa]

Wow, what a tense episode. Didn't expect Amira to be the kidnapper. I wonder what's Angie secret that's linked to Dom. Whatever it is, it sounds very bad :shocked:

[Oliver_W]

I'm liking Dr Hudson

[reece(:]

Amanda Mealing has said she wants to return to Holby
It's what we deserve

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Sick and tired of Angie being part of every storyline tbh. Her being Dom’s mother is a step too far.

[Oliver_W]

They were referring to Connie's attack, is this the one when she was pushed down the stairs or has there been another?

[Vanessa]

Catching up on Casualty. Its so good at the moment. The writing and acting is excellent :love:

[Vanessa]

Can't wait to see Isaac back. Love Mark Elliot :lovedup:

[Vanessa]

Just seen a spoiler about Holby City. Apparently when Isaac comes back, him and Dom get close! Yes! Love Mark Elliott!

[Denver]

Tonight is Elle's last episode,

Rather sad as she is one of the best characters

[Morgan.]

Fgs how many people are leaving? Is there anyone actually left ...

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Tonight is Elle's last episode,

Rather sad as she is one of the best characters

To be honest probably for the best, the character never shined in any way, I mean she had potential but she never worked. Nothing against the actress, she is a good actress, I just dont think she put her mark on the show like others have. I mean she has been there for 3 years and the only storyline i remember her doing is revealing her sons father was Jacob. I cant remember if Connie took her to court blaming her for Graces care in the hospital, but it sums Elle up that shes had like 2 storylines in 3 years.

Shame as Casualty has been brilliant lately and the people who have gone have gone at the right time and new blood has been brought in and they seem to be working. Archie and Will have been great additions so far

[Denver]

I am surprised they never casted any Foriegn Actors/Characters to make it more realistic like Holby do every now and again

[Vanessa]

Casualty has been fantastic lately. I'm really enjoying Ian storyline. He's an amazing actor and I really like the character. Good looking too :D

[Vanessa]

A certain someone is back on Holby city tonight :devil:

[Denver]

Faye and Joseph are returning to Holby after 10 years away

[Liam-]

Faye as in, Patsy Kensit, Faye? :amazed:

[Denver]

Faye as in, Patsy Kensit, Faye? :amazed:

Yes for a short stint

[Vanessa]

Isaac is back! Woooo :dance:

[Vanessa]

Omg apparently Dom and Isaac grow closer again:dance:

[Vanessa]

My god, that was a fantastic episode. So exciting and the acting was excellent!

[Liam-]

God I ****ing hate Dominic, he’s such a whiney, miserable, monotonous character, get rid

[Denver]

Iain is leaving Casualty

[Vanessa]

Iain is leaving Casualty

He's taking a break. He will be back.

[Denver]

He's taking a break. He will be back.

He said he is taking a break but there is no plans for his return and he didnt specify how long he would be gone which makes it seem a long term thing

[Denver]

1136684495569129479

Doesnt look like Iain is returning

[Amy Jade]

That post makes it seem like he is coming back though because he wants the jacket hung up for a while, mentions only the summer and end it with 'until next time...'

[Vanessa]

Catching up on Casualty. Michael Stevenson is such a fine actor :love:

[Headie]

Connie needs to swallow her pride and stop blaming others before she gets lots of patients killed

[Ant.]

Iain is leaving Casualty

i'm 2 months behind and I can't say I'm too fussed about being spoilt (I knew full well to be spoilt coming into this thread), but I'm a tad miffed about WHY so many great characters are leaving. I mean, I understand a vast majority are voluntarily quitting, but it does hurt a tad knowing once I catch up this week, another one of my favourites will be gone </3

[Amy Jade]

Moving filming from London to Wales has probably tempted a few to leave tbf

[Vanessa]

Ian is only taking a break. He's coming back.

[Firewire]

Moving filming from London to Wales has probably tempted a few to leave tbf

It was filmed in Bristol before it moved to Cardiff, not London.

[Amy Jade]

It was filmed in Bristol before it moved to Cardiff, not London.

Oh my mistake, still a heck of a move.

[Morgan.]

Dixie is coming back!

[Ant.]

Dixie is coming back!

For good? :amazed:

[Morgan.]

For good? :amazed:

Just temporarily :(

She’s in Corrie now she filmed this before she started that :(

[Ant.]

It only makes sense for the Year of the Paramedic to end with Miss Dixie?

[Morgan.]

It only makes sense for the Year of the Paramedic to end with Miss Dixie?

It’s a scream that this year is ‘year of the paramedic’ and so far 1 has left, another is leaving, 1 goes out in the field once every 4 months and the other is like sweet and all but totally not tough enough for the job

[Denver]

So its Gem last episode today and by the actresses twitter it seems like she isnt coming back

[Denver]

Also tonight Ciaran Is sacked and Connie Suspended which leaves Clinical lead wide open, hopefully it isnt Ethan

[Morgan.]

Also tonight Ciaran Is sacked and Connie Suspended which leaves Clinical lead wide open, hopefully it isnt Ethan

I love Ethan but I agree that he was a **** clinical lead. Not sure how they’re gonna fill the job though, will be interesting to see if they bring someone new in or get an existing character. I don’t know if anyone’s qualified enough?

[Denver]

Elle would have been perfect

[Morgan.]

Elle would have been perfect

Did she leave for good or do you think she’ll be back for clinical lead

[Denver]

Did she leave for good or do you think she’ll be back for clinical lead

I guess it's possible because it was sa quick exit but Casualty have a history of characters randomly going with little or no warning in advance and not returning

[Denver]

I'd Love Jac to move to casualty and take the role but I doubt it

[Ant.]

It’s a scream that this year is ‘year of the paramedic’ and so far 1 has left, another is leaving, 1 goes out in the field once every 4 months and the other is like sweet and all but totally not tough enough for the job

I only just saw this but, yeah :laugh2:

Is this really what they meant?

They're lucky I like Ruby (and Jan but as you said she only gets involved every blue moon) because if she was a weak character I'd be tempted to not watch!

[Morgan.]

I'd Love Jac to move to casualty and take the role but I doubt it

Same

Oh and also tonight

Archie gets stabbed when she follows Connie to the pharmacy. Connie is unable to competently great her and her life is left ‘hanging in the balance’,

[Morgan.]

I’m still a week behind but hoping to catch up over the next few days.

[Ant.]

Did she leave for good or do you think she’ll be back for clinical lead

I don't think she even took the big job offered to her? (Or Louise didn't, or they both did... this is why you dont have like 3 characters exit within a month of each other lmao) So it's possible she just comes back to fill in the role

[Denver]

Tonight is a 90min episode by the way

[Denver]

I wouldnt be surprised at Zoe returning but then I doubt it will happen

[Morgan.]

Screaming at Rash back next week :skull:

Gem only just went out to him and she’s left the show - how are they gonna write that into the story :skull:

[Denver]

Next weeks looks amazing

[Oliver_W]

I hope Connie comes back soon! I'm glad she triumphed over that little Napoleon <3

I can't remember, did Archie survive? I'm glad she saw Ciaran for what he was. He hoisted himself by his own petard by forcing the ED to take on more than they could handle to make Connie crack, and then making the death of a patient seem like a convenience when speaking to a caring doctor!

[Morgan.]

I hope Connie comes back soon! I'm glad she triumphed over that little Napoleon <3

I can't remember, did Archie survive?

Connie can stay away if she’s gonna blame her mistakes on others and put patients lives in danger again :umm2:

[Vanessa]

Archie is still alive. Hope she will be ok. Connie and Ian are my favourites, hope they'll be back soon.

[Vanessa]

Excellent episode from casualty, loved it.

[Vanessa]

Dom needs to kick Evan's ass. Now that he knows self defense :fist:

[Denver]

Dylan is the new Clinical Lead

[Vanessa]

I've finally met Marc Elliott. Omg, he's so gorgeous :flutter:

[Vanessa]

Dylan is the new Clinical Lead

Good, I like him. I think he will be great

[Liam-]

Still feels weird seeing places I know on this, I love that market :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Still feels weird seeing places I know on this, I love that market :laugh:
I hope they rebuild it soon :(

[Oliver_W]

Did we find out what David's son wanted? I can't remember? For a while I thought he might have been involved in the terror attack haha

I liked the way it was never specified who carried out the attack, but everyone assumed it was a muslim - statistically it probably was, but doesn't make it definite. It was interesting to show those scenes from Kash's perceptive - from the well-meaning but accidentally mildly offensive old lady, to the suspicious bus passengers.

[Amy Jade]

Saturday's episode was brilliant.

The slo-mo of the moment the bomb went off was stunning

[Denver]

I dont really understand why they are going with a PTSD storyline for Ethan when we just had months and months of one with Connie, Rash dealing with his ethnicity and how people treat them after terrorist attacks would have been a better long term storyline

[Denver]

Also I hope Dylan stays as clinical lead even when Connie returns.

He brings a lot more to the table and it's fun to see how he doesnt take everything seriously and willing to have a laugh

[Oliver_W]

Also I hope Dylan stays as clinical lead even when Connie returns.

I love Dylan, so it's great to see him being more prominent! And yeah, if someone passed a note about Connie like that, she'd skin them alive :joker:

[Denver]

Queen Dixie

[Amy Jade]

I'm not warming to any of the newer characters apart from the paramedic Ruby. Shakil from Eastenders and the girl who joined with him are both meh and offer nothing, the Irish guy just makes zero impact and the newest guy is annoying.

Then you've got them almost ramming Archie down our throats.

[Morgan.]

Ruby, Ian, Dylan And Rash are carrying this show at the moment ngl. Archie would be great if toned down ever so slightly.

Jade, David, Ethan, Jan, Marty, Robyn and Will are meh they’re okay.

Everyone else can go tbh.

[Headie]

I don't get the hate for Archie, I think she's been great and been pretty much righteous in all of her storylines. Connie is trash for framing her, Duffy and others!

[Morgan.]

I don't get the hate for Archie, I think she's been great and been pretty much righteous in all of her storylines. Connie is trash for framing her, Duffy and others!

I like her I just think she can be quite overpowering sometimes.

It’s the people sticking up for Connie I don’t understand :umm2: Vile

[Denver]

The casualty producer has confirmed Iain exit is permanently.

They said there is no current plans to bring the character back but the door will stay open

[Morgan.]

Must be getting a new paramedic soon then?

[Denver]

Yes a new one called Lev who will have a massive storyline

[Morgan.]

I’m guessing that one that was an alcoholic isn’t staying around

[Amy Jade]

I don't get the hate for Archie, I think she's been great and been pretty much righteous in all of her storylines. Connie is trash for framing her, Duffy and others!

A bit too righteous for me, like the writers are desperate to make her likeable. It's coming across very forced to me at least.

[Morgan.]

I’m guessing that one that was an alcoholic isn’t staying around

I think I missed the end of that episode

[Vanessa]

Omg, Even is so creepy :shocked:

[Vanessa]

Brilliant episode tonight. Wow! :clap1:

[Denver]

Duffy is leaving next year

[Morgan.]

Gonna give casualty a break for a couple months again - finding it really hard to get through the episodes at the moment. I dislike the majority of characters and the ones I do like have crap stories.

[smudgie]

My niece’s partner is in Holby tonight.
Hubby will be watching, first time ever.:joker:

[Amy Jade]

The only good characters in Casualty at the moment are Ruby, Duffy, David, Rosa, Rash and Dylan.

The rest are either awful or just plain boring. Charlie gets a pass he can stick around for Duffy and hes added so much over the years but why are characters like Robin and Noel still around?

[Oliver_W]

Ethan is really pissing me off at the moment. He's being pretty unprofessional, and his expressions piss me off.

[Denver]

Literally shook at the shock death

Mason was found dead by Rash

[Headie]

^ The writers did him so dirty

Also Cory from Ackley Bridge being in this episode :love:

[Amy Jade]

Duffy :bawling:

[Amy Jade]

this is heartbreaking

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Might sound heartless but the actors who play Charlie and Duffy are god awful. Duffy was
Slightly okay last few months but Charlie is a woeful actor

[Denver]

Archie has now left which means they cant even keep hold of new characters for long although I wont miss her

[Denver]

Casualty exit this weekend

Ruby is leaving

[Ant.]

Actually tragic

[Morgan.]

Glad I gave up after Ian left tbf

[Denver]

Bobby Lockwood has joined as new paramedic Leon North

[Morgan.]

Oh king

Probs not enough to get me watching again sksksk

[Morgan.]

Iain is returning just months after his exit and they said there were no plans to ever bring him back sksksk

[Amy Jade]

Is Casualty ever coming back? Holly City is back and that's utter ****e but we haven't seen Casualty for months

[Denver]

Is Casualty ever coming back? Holly City is back and that's utter ****e but we haven't seen Casualty for months

2nd January

[Denver]

The producers has said there will bw a lot more big name returns over the next 12 months with one almost certainly Tess seeing S she has said in the past she wants to bring Tess back

[Denver]

Apparently a main character will die of Covid which would be a very brave storyline

[Vanessa]

Ian Dean is back soon on Casualty. I'm so happy!

[Denver]

Apparently a main character will die of Covid which would be a very brave storyline

This has been confirmed at the character who is rumoured is a long term character

Apparently its Noel who dies of Coranvirus

[Denver]

Also Will is leaving so that's like 4 or 5 characters going

[Vanessa]

That was a brilliant episode of Casualty.
So moving. A real insight of what the NHS are facing everyday.

[Oliver_W]

Noel :(

[Vanessa]

You have no idea how happy I am that Ian Dean is back on Casualty! :cheer2:

[Vanessa]

Two episodes of Casualty tonight :dance:

[Denver]

Mac, Cal and Noel are returning for a one of episode of Casualty next month.

It will be an episode that will change the future for all those involved, Cal and Noel ending up leaving after dying while Mac was caught stealing medicine

[Denver]

Casualty just killed off 2 characters Lev and Fenisha Died after being hit by a train

[Denver]

Tess is returning at Xmas

[Denver]

What a phenomenal episode

[Vanessa]

Just watched it. What an amazing episode. Brilliant!
