and therefore Charlie might die.

As DH says, Charlie is a cockroach who seems to have escaped everything bar nuclear bombs whilst all his colleagues have perished around him.

I watch Casualty every weekend and have done more or less since it first aired in 1986 Blush
So no I don't think YABU to watch it
I need to make sure I have plenty of tissues, I'm still getting over Geoff dying!
And yes, I know, I'm sad Grin

Yes YABVU, it's dire.

Mavisblewitt · 20/08/2015 18:20

The big event episodes usually mean the end of a series so won't be on for a few months pilates Grin

pilates · 20/08/2015 18:28

Great Grin as I find it quite depressing.

Roll on Strictly.

Yanbu - I love an 'event'!!!! My dds are at V Festival, I will order takeaway as banned from driving, get then wine in and enjoyBlushWine

paulapompom · 20/08/2015 18:34

Oh shit - not legally banned!!!! Just out of hospital and have many stitches - can't drive for health/insurance Smile

Sallystyle · 20/08/2015 18:39

I love Casualty.

puzzle1000 · 20/08/2015 18:40

I'm soooo fucking tragic excited!!

Enb76 · 20/08/2015 18:44

I've been waiting for Charlie to die forever - odious human being.

WhataRacquet · 20/08/2015 18:45

The last and only time I watched Casualty was a big story about Charlie. Must have been the 90's? Trailer looks good so I might watch this too!

TPel · 20/08/2015 18:46

I didn't realise it was still on. Can there be any people left alive in the catchment area of the hospital, it had so many disasters over the years?

Mavisblewitt · 20/08/2015 18:49

Noooo, Charlie's luffly! I really hope he doesn't die, but judging by the trailers it looks pretty likely Sad
I will be watching all episodes and probably crying buckets, my other half will be at work and I expect the kids will be watching a dvd upstairs so I can blub in peace!

SuburbanRhonda · 20/08/2015 18:55

I've also watched since it started Blush

I don't really mind if Charlie dies as he's had a very long run, but I got the impression from the trailer that something bad happens to Zoe and with Tess having left too and Dylan gone completely off the rails, I think it's going to be a right blub fest!

Btw, how come staff in Casualty never have to work notice when they leave?

RedToothBrush · 20/08/2015 18:58

Have to say I will be disappointed if Charlie doesn't cark it now.

And I don't care if its shit. I love a good disaster movie. The whole point is that they are shit and you have to guess how and when each character is about to die. which is why ones based on real life events are just not as good

I hope Tess does leave - she's so joyless

horseygeorgie · 20/08/2015 19:06

oh no I don't want charlie to die! I love him and his awful acting! Looks great, I can't wait to see it.

puzzle1000 · 20/08/2015 19:07

I wish we had a 'like' button .. fish is so right, Tess is so flamin' 'Joyless' even when she was being tupped off Fletch she was a 'joyless' bastard!

PartyFops · 20/08/2015 19:07

I think Zoe is going to die too. She is my fave!

I am such a sad individual, but Casualty is my favourite programme of the week, the only one bar maybe bake off that I make sure I watch each week, If I can't watch it live it watch it on catch up.

MimsyBorogroves · 20/08/2015 19:10

Charlie is still alive?!

I haven't watched it since the 90s, mind. Loved me some Charlie and Baz.

Mavisblewitt · 20/08/2015 19:17

There's also a red button special after Saturday's episode, just watched the trailer on my FB feed, it's based on Zoe's hen night

GamerCh1ck · 20/08/2015 19:21

Can't wait me Grin I'll be gutted if Charlie dies, he IS casualty Sad

Fourarmsv2 · 20/08/2015 19:24

We met Dylan at the zoo earlier this week, it was the highlight of the day for DS1 & DS2!

Sallystyle · 20/08/2015 19:29

I adore Max.

Don't think Zoey appreciates him enough. He should come and live with me.

Sallystyle · 20/08/2015 19:29

Zoe

Every regular in Holby has to end up as a patient at some point, it must be written into their employment contracts. I suppose Charlie's been around so long that his turn's come round again - it must be at least the third time for him. I hope he survives, Casualty without him is unimaginable. Though I wouldn't mind if his tedious son disappeared.
