BBC CASUALTY: we stare into the middle distance for Charliexit

[AnImaginaryCat]

Counting down to the long awaited day!

Was going to say - can’t BELIEVE I forgot Charlie but of course I can believe it! He gets two lines of dialogue every six months and that’s two too many!

Bung him on the list with Ryan and Cam under ‘Forget they’re in it for long periods of time’ 😂

I am overdosing on Charlie at the moment in classic casualty..

He wasn't the saint we were all made out to believe he was . 🤔🤔😁😂😂!

Totally agree with you on every point.
Faith can GTF

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross the fact you forgot the longest serving cast member whose name is even in the thread title speaks absolute volumes!

And you also forgot Paige 🤣

Paige 🤣🤣🤣 also needs to be filed under ‘forget they’re in it for long periods of time’! Every time she is in an episode, I’m like - oh yeah, you exist!

Aww - Zoe and Max were so sweet when they finally got their act together. I loved Max 💕

I had to look up who you meant by Paige.
Everytime she's on the screen I have to remember what her story line is and whether she's a doctor.

@Walkingtheplank I actually had to look up her name before I posted it! I could see her in my head but couldn't think of her name 🫣

2 episodes tonight !

Probably means it's taking a long break from next week then 🤣

Where have all these extra nurses appeared from? It is not that long since the shift walked out and they apparently had no cover. And what has happened to Dylan's hair now!

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross I thought of someone else you forgot! That nurse who is always in the background but never has had a line! Does she need her own category?!

All this filming in the dark is so hard to watch!

🤔 ‘Extras who never get to speak because the BBC can’t afford to pay them until Charlie leaves’ ??

We are behind so just went to watch last weeks and it had dropped out of my planner! So need to watch 3 episodes on iplayer now. Noticed on there it was actually a new series starting last week (for what that's worth when it's on every week) so it must have lost it because of that

But then other programmes appears in the planner when we've watched previous seasons 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oooh actually a new series starting last week would explain all the haircuts! Presumably they had a break in filming

Teddy and Paige is a disaster waiting to happen.

Surely this means feckless Faith is getting written out, surely her career cannot survive this even in Casualty Land.

Poor Dylan when he finds out about Max and Donna.

Just watched the first episode….

Did anyone else get a weird vibe tonight from Rida??? The conversation she had with Jodie about the food seemed odd….and then she seemed really relieved that Rash gave her that money…

I don’t know, it just seemed strange, like maybe there an upcoming story on its way…

I’m glad Faith is going to get found out!!

Who is the actress who plays her daughter? She looked really familiar?

The pregnant woman who fell down the stairs also looked really familiar 🤷‍♀️

I think they are gearing up for a Rida not having any money story line. They tried to do it with Robyn for a bit as well but got bored of it or something.

Only watched the first episode from last night but I felt like they'd thrown the actual medical stuff in as an afterthought.
Definitely something coming for Rida. I actually like her and think her and Rash would make a nice couple.
Faith needs to go now. I'd appreciate it if she took Teddy, Cameron and Max with her. Max will obviously be waltzing off soon.
And when will they give Dylan a break?
And why has nobody in the department spotted Andy the ambulance driver from series 1 yet!!! I guess Charlie would be the only one to recognise him and he's not in it often enough to spot him.

I don't think I'd ever get public transport in Holby!

So Faith is finally going to get her comeuppance! Did she really expect to pull the cancer story off when her closest friend is not only a doctor in the hospital she's being 'treated' in but also knows her so well she knows her children. I don't know how old Natalia is, I assume late teens? Old enough to be told if your mum has that diagnosis. It was a stupid lie she told ans she should have realised she wouldn't have got away with it.

She should have said something vague like severe back pain, diazepam is sometimes used for that prn (as needed) to control muscle spasms. Not that I'm suggesting she should've lied!

Edited to correct typo

I really hope she does now.

But will Stevie actually be going too? I thought I spotted a baby bump when she was doing the domestic bliss bit in Faith's kitchen so could be convenient timing. But I could be very much mistaken

I haven't watched this drama in many many years , but I did last night and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it!
I couldn't fathom the back story with Max / Jodie and his mum , plus it was bugging me who played his mum ? She was in ' shine on Harvey moon ' ( shows age) and old dramas like this , but I couldn't find her name on the cast list online. She always plays similar characters
Is Charlie still in it ?

Actress is Kate Williams. (I'm old too). Wasn't she in Love Thy Neighbour?
