Thought better start a thread as no one else had

Next sat looks good - with poor ruby struggling to juggle work and harmony

And matty pushes jade to the limit

It was certainly an odd bit of casting but I think they're just doing what they can within the restrictions. I'm sure I read somewhere ages ago that they were using family members of the main cast as extras because they were already in their bubbles.

Al1langdownthecleghole · 10/01/2021 21:59

I've done a very tiny amount of extra work previously and had a notice recently about wanting family groups who would be willing to appear together.

I've only seen "how we filmed this" in the context of Eastenders and they definitely said they were using real life partners for scenes involving touching/intimacy.

Kyle Pryor had to go back on to the Hollyoaks set recently to film a kissing scene with his real life partner Anna Passey, even though the character he played in Hollyoaks is now dead and certainly wasn't dating Anna Passey's character when he was alive Grin He was standing in for whoever she's dating on the programme.

Both Big Mac and Tess are in The Pembrokeshire Murders

Do love spotting Casualty actors!

purpleme12 · 12/01/2021 23:55

Also found Lennie in Traces this week!

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2021 20:27

Yes very strange having an adult play a teenager

Tho storyline was good

Torn between which side I was on

Glad faith finally brought it up

I can't believe Fenisha expected this to go any other way
She deceived and betrayed him!

SoupDragon · 16/01/2021 21:08

It might have gone slightly better if she'd got to tell him I guess. I imagine it's gone particularly badly because of the risk of Huntington's though. If he could have have told her about that earlier there could have been pre-natal testing. 7 months pregnant is a bit late.

SoupDragon · 16/01/2021 21:08

He needs a haircut though.

purpleme12 · 16/01/2021 21:16

Yes but I'd be pretty mad if someone had lied about getting an abortion to me

Arobase · 17/01/2021 09:42

Does anyone know if the actor playing Will is actually leaving? I quite expected him last night to do a standard Casualty U-turn as he seemed to have decided that the job was worthwhile after all.

purpleme12 · 17/01/2021 09:44

I was expecting that too. All the signs pointed that way
I'm assuming he is leaving though from the ending

SoupDragon · 17/01/2021 09:46

His Twitter feed implies that he has left. I thought he had as they did all the lingering, wistful shots that go with an exit.

I guess he can always come back though :)

Social distancing was VERY obvious at some points

purpleme12 · 18/01/2021 10:57

I think it's quite awkward with all the social distancing filming
It's really different

Dontlickthetrolley · 19/01/2021 00:00

I thought it was a bit weird that the brother was with David, no PPE, he gets stabbed and is in resus with full on PPE

SoupDragon · 19/01/2021 08:39

I think they were way closer in resus. Possibly they went for the "dramatic license" PPE there so the actors could get close to the patient.

I agree that the distancing is very obvious in this as there is no hugging or relatives getting close to the patient. I've not found it terribly awkward though

Dontlickthetrolley · 19/01/2021 18:03

I've just seen the advert for Saturday night 😱

purpleme12 · 19/01/2021 18:58

I know!
I'm wondering how they're going to do it and keep it normal and tense what with all the different way of filming

MissEliza · 19/01/2021 22:01

How was Fenisha able to get to seven months surrounded by medical professionals without anyone noticing?

purpleme12 · 19/01/2021 22:07

I guess she could be one of those rare ones who don't show much and don't have a lot of signs?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 21/01/2021 07:40

But a couple of times in that episode, I looked at her before the big reveal to Ethan and thought: well she's obviously pregnant, I wonder why he's not mentioning it?

So by the time he actually noticed it, I was just wondering how he had been a doctor for so long with such shit observational skills!

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/01/2021 12:45

She was put on furlough. Well asked to be due to asthma

Maybe she just came back

But he’s he wasn’t observant at all

But didn’t blame him for Being annoyed

But sure they will sort it out

Maybe they all thought it was the Lockdown Stone after months at home on the sofa eating cake.
