BBC CASUALTY: He's gone and we just move on (no notice needed)

[AnImaginaryCat]

New thread. New era. New series.

@Walkingtheplank Glad I'm not the only one.

I watched the episode...but feel like I have missed something really important 🤔? !

With regards to the previous comments I mean !

The kiss!

Oh the kiss! Same old, same old. It passed me by.

Rich is a nasty manipulative piece of work. Both women are well rid of him. Glad Stevie told him where to go.

So Jamie is now dead (he can now go back and rescue Aaron in Emmerdale ) and Teddy knows about the dating apps. Jodie was a bit stupid she knew Teddy was serious about them.

I did not see the kiss coming! I thought we were just having a nice sensible supportive friendship. I liked their banter but now it will just become a big drama.

I preferred Stevie when she was horrible. She would have slept with him before she morphed into a casualty standard.

I feel like falling off the balcony woman might have said bad things to the police about Tariq after Rash left.

Tariq is going to get his comeuppance, well presumably seeing it's Casualty, but it can't cone quick enough for me. I want the lovely Rash back to his old self.

Ohh the Kiss 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️..of course ..thanks @Optimist1 !

Completely forgot about it because at the time I remembered a similar scene from the new comedy program " Piglets " and I was laughing about that scene in my head !

I want them to stay as friends.

I’ve been shipping Ngozi-Nicole for weeks. They’d make a lovely couple.

Barney Walsh was - again - the highlight of the episode. He’s doing an impressive job of this storyline. I’d really like to see Cam looking happy again at some point though!

On a tangent, what happened with Ngozi's son? I either missed that episode or can't recall.

My fingers haven't stopped feeling funny since watching missing finger man. I think I have phantom digit syndrome even though I have all my digits!

Didn't he go home again? I think he was only visiting.

He must gone home I guess.
I don't actually think they mentioned him after we saw him arrive

I think people (probably me included) wrote him off too soon. He's been a gem of a find on this story.

I find a lot of the characters turn out to be 'growers'. Barney has been acting his little socks off these last few episodes.

I never wrote him off

A lot of people did! People on SM used to be horrible about Stevie as well. I think she has really grown as a character.

It’s been really nice to see the tide of comments on social media (generally) turn from really quite unpleasant about Barney Walsh to very positive. He’s certainly put a few people’s gas on a peep.

Cam, like Stevie, will always generate a range of opinions. Plenty of people think she’s a bitch, and Cam’s a wet blanket. I don’t agree with either but they’re reasonable opinions about fictional characters. Slating someone’s acting ability when you’ve not actually seen them really act is a bit shit (again - general comment, not seen that here so much as in other places). That’s the side of it I’ve enjoyed.

People generally have different aspects to their personalities. You can like one side of them while being less impressed with how they are at other times. If characters were always exactly the same, it wouldn't be true to life.

(Because obviously Casualty is absolutely true ti life in all other respects. Ahem.)

See I was getting all confused there. I was wondering why everyone was going on about Cam's dad being in Soldier Soldier because I didn't think Bradley Walsh was in that programme. Of course everyone was talking about the actor playing Cam's character dad, not Cam's actual dad!

I like Barney Walsh, yes it's probably nepotism that got him some of his gigs (definitely Gladiators) but I think he's played Cam well. He's meant to be this slightly awkward, wooden, emotionless, young man, now we know why.

To be fair, I never thought Cam was wooden or emotionless. Awkward and lacking self-esteem, yes, but if anything his cup has overrun with emotion since he started.

Barney Walsh's acting is fine, but it would be nice to see less of it.

My Sky box series link is seriously dodgy for Casualty didn’t record the ep so will have to watch on iplayer . DH hates it so I think he’s deleting it 😂
