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.

Hasn't every British Actor who has done anything been on Casualty or Holby.

Unless they do Shakespeare. Which seems to be the only protection from being horribly injured by a pointy thing or needing major heart surgery

Did Duffy die? She was in it last time I watched it. If she was coming back I might consider watching.

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 21/08/2015 15:29

Thank goodness for an event! It's been a bit dull of late, and I absolutely hated that weird episode a few weeks ago. Having just seen the trailer, it's not looking hopeful for Zoe or Charlie. I would be so happy if they killed off Charlie.

Charlie has been around so long that even if he does die no doubt he will be written back in as starting the Zombie Apocalypse.

BigRedBall · 21/08/2015 16:44

I used to watch casualty religiously as an 11/12 year old. Then I grew up.

Is Charlie still in it?! What about that ambulance man? Is he dead yet?

Pipbin · 21/08/2015 16:50

Christ, he is still in it? He was in it in the old days of Brenda Fricker.

HarrietSchulenberg · 21/08/2015 16:57

Charlie was the first famous person I saw when I moved to London nearly 20 years ago. I was going for a job interview and he was on my train on the Metropolotan line. As soon as I got above ground I actually rang dp from my first ever (brick) mobile to tell him.

Pumpkinpositive · 21/08/2015 17:38

Oh ma gawd, not CHARLIE! Say it ain't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie's the grey haired nurse fond off staring off into the middle distance to cover the fact he can't remember his lines, isn't he?

haven't watched this tripe since 1996 Blush

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 21/08/2015 17:47

Off on a tangent, sorry, but I watched Holby earlier in the week, for the first time in donkeys, I loved it!

Might tune into Casualty on this basis.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 21/08/2015 17:48

*too many comma's above ^ Blush

I'm so jealous of the pp who met Dylan, I'm in love with Dylan! I hope he's ok. Call me a saddo but I love casualty. It and GBBO are the only things I watch. I think Charlie has a heart attack but I'm not convinced he dies. I'm so excited, the trailers look awesome.

BigRedBall · 21/08/2015 23:37

I'll watch it if Charlie is going to die. It's kind of sad he's been working in a&e for 30 years and still hasn't been promoted or worked his way up to better things. Even in ER that nurse ended up becoming a doctor.

Icimoi · 22/08/2015 07:48

Nah, nursing is a vocation for Charlie, he doesn't want to become a doctor or be promoted into management.

SoupDragon · 22/08/2015 07:49

This has to be the most clumsy "shoehorned into AIBU" ever!

RedToothBrush · 22/08/2015 08:19

Dear god. AIBU has standards? FFS.

I bet that goes down well in his yearly appraisal Hmm. What a lazy arse.

Icimoi · 22/08/2015 09:14

I know very little about nursing, but somehow I doubt that any nurse gets marked down on appraisal for not wanting to be a doctor.

hippoherostandinghere · 22/08/2015 09:51

He's a charge nurse though isn't he, so he has done well for himself. There's no where much to go after.

BigRedBall · 22/08/2015 22:02

Well....I just watched the last 10 mins (forgot it was on)...no sign of Charlie or his death. What a waste of time Angry.

GamerCh1ck · 22/08/2015 22:05

It's an event man. Nitty gritty tomorrow.

BigRedBall · 22/08/2015 22:16

It's on again tomorrow? Angry

There was a girl in it towards the end with a bandage just under her nostrils (that was funny in itself)...then she got knocked down by a van. It was like a scene out of Final Destination Grin..

Greengardenpixie · 29/08/2015 22:28

Who the hell did Zoe sleep with?
Does charlie die?
Tell me please!

Icimoi · 29/08/2015 22:50

Zoe slept with some random. We don't yet know about Charlie.

Lonecatwithkitten · 29/08/2015 22:52

JonSnow your in luck Duffy is back.
