BBC Casualty: keep calm and cartilage on; it's going tibia ok

[RedForShort]

The thread is full.

The virus is spreading will Holby be ok?!

I was just having a nose at #casualty on Twitter. Lots of comments about the upcoming romance. Not going to lie, not one I'd have predicted. Mind you there's also this comment:

I was doing ok until they drove past the hospital, then that last scene with Charlie breaking down and I was in bits again... 😢😢

If Derek Thompson doesn't get an award for his performance, there's no justice!!

#duffy #Casualty #ChuffyForever

So I'm no too sure how reliable people's thoughts on Twitter are!!

David actor was quite fanciable when he was in Heartbeat. It's quite a tribute to his acting ability that he comes over so differently in Casualty.

David was very hot indeed last night!

When Charlie was going on about feeling that he'd forgotten something, I was thinking 'You've forgotten to tell her sons!'

Does anyone play Casualty Bingo?
Opening scene, kids on a building site, scaffolding collapses - BINGO
Second scene, woman in office working away, stomach pains, lo and behold surprise baby - BINGO
And many more scenarios.
We’ve played it for years, the first person to guess what will happen then shouts Bingo when it does, and gets a cuppa made for them.

I can't watch casualty without feeling pained that Derek Thompson gets paid more per episode of pretending to be a nurse than real nurses will earn in a whole year.

Yes, I definitely saw a different David last night. His hair looked better too.

David is a very sympathetic character.

I caught up with Casualty by watching the previous Saturday's episode in which Duffy went missing from home and found her in the snow, she was rushed to hospital etc, so now I know what happened.

I am so in bits about it but I've watched the programme since the start.

It's very sad that Duffy was killed off.

Surely everyone knows that actors are generally paid more than the average person? I don't grudge them one bit, it's a fickle and uncertain profession, someone can be flavour of the month for a while and then disappear for years except for pantos. If they bag a gig in a regular series they at least have some security - and it is jolly hard work.

that last scene with Charlie breaking down and I was in bits again...

And there was me thinking he looked like Teddy Ruxpin.

Duffy only delivered her own grandchild a couple of years ago, didn’t she? What were the writers thinking? Even a ‘they can’t make it over in time’ line would have made more sense than ignoring her sons’ existence.

Glad I’m not the only one to fancy David.

Take him out of his scrubs and remove his bumbag and he’s a totally different man

If only he had a sexier surname. Durr is what sassy teenagers say to their parents in 90s sitcoms.

I would like to stress that the quote in bold in my last post is not my opinion!!!

It's very important no one thinks it is!!!

I knew that.

Is it bad I didn’t even cry at the episode? Had just watched CTM which was really sad, and then wooden Charlie!
It’s not like I haven’t had family members w dementia but I felt the whole thing didn’t ring true - both members took years to pass away but obv they’re not going to drag it out on TV.

Yes, we play spot the accident, maddiemookins. Sometimes they play with us - you see someone going up a ladder and you think "Falls off ladder" and it turns out it's the bloke holding the ladder who has appendicitis. The game is made easier if the scenario includes a vaguely recognisable actor, as they're bound to be either the casualty or closely connected to the casualty.

The other game is spot the diagnosis, where we try to get there before the docs do. Because there are certain TV clichés (woman clutches flat stomach = ectopic, woman clutches less flat stomach = labour or miscarriage) it's usually fairly easy.

I hope not @JustDanceAddict, orherwise I've very bad!! It didn't dampen my eyes once, in fact I sniggered at bits (like the drive-by of the A&E with all the staff and even the ambulances lined up)

Well, David is quite a surprise 🔥

Take the hat off Harmony ffs

I have just looked Jason Durr up - I would NEVER have guessed he was Mike in Heartbeat! I've always had a bit of a soft spot for him as David ...

I found tonight’s episode really uncomfortable watching because I couldn’t believe Violet would put harmony at so much risk. I need to remind myself that the program is not real

I feel in love with Ethan again now he has apologised to Rash.

Disappointed that they downplayed the battery swallowing - made it seem like not a big deal. If the child had swallowed a lithium battery and it lodged in the oesophagus he could have bled to death before they had a chance to operate. They should have made it a lot more serious to drum home the message.

I also felt they gave his dad a really hard time, you can't physically be with them every second.

So when Dylan was updating Ethan on what had been going on while he was away, he mentioned how sad it was that Mason died, but didn't even mention Duffy?
