Didn’t even realise casualty was still on

how can that trash still be on tv?

Charlie's been through it - several shootings, several heart attacks, a full decapitation, stabbings, a drug overdose ... he's well due retirement.

All the women at work love all these hospital based programs wether they’re drama or documentary series

Where does that put him in the table?

Ken Barlow is obviously top of the league.

Then I reckon Ian Beale must beat Charlie by a single year.

Nope Ian left 2 years ago so Derek is ahead and Eric Pollard is on about 37 years in Emmerdale
