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

[AnImaginaryCat]

New thread. New era. New series.

I think it's an age thing.

He's 75!

I'll extend on that. Some of have been watching from the beginning and remember 'Zoe' from Brookside too. So, I still agree with my POV. Thank you.

Well Charlie saved Zoe from drowning on her wedding day so of course they have a huge bond.

I loved Connie! Such a shame she hasn't come back. She and Charlie were good friends too.

I’m not quite clear on how SS’s character in Brookside would influence her popularity as Zoe in Casualty.

I mean, I remember her from Brookside too, I just don’t follow the logic.

Obviously people are entitled to dislike her or prefer Connie (or Baz or any other character from Charlie’s past), but she is hugely popular with a lot of fans regardless.

I think she’s grand, I really liked her as a character, and as an actor.

I found the most recent two episodes with the massive focus on Rash a bit tedious - I don’t think his character is watchable enough to sustain the leading role in the way that Stevie’s was. It picked up a bit in the second episode when some different storylines were introduced but that first one was an absolute slog.

New Max seems a bit dull. Where’s Dylan?

Dylan, Ngozi, Iain and Rash focused episode? More of these please!

Oooh what do we think went on in the ambulance??

Poor teddy got seriously assaulted I think.

I was hoping the bride to be would pipe up and tell someone what happened to Teddy. Poor Teddy too!

Poor Teddy, I don’t know what they did to him, but he looked pretty traumatised.

And poor Dylan too. Not a good day for him.

Ngozi and the new doctor are a lovely pairing though 😀

Yes I guess Teddy might have been sexually assaulted?

That's what we thought.

What a horrible lot.

Teddy must’ve been sexually assaulted, poor Teddy. He’s so lovely.

As soon as the woman closed those ambulance doors it was obvious what was going to happen to him 😢

When she alter flicking through her photos / videos when in cubicles with her friend I expected the video to come on about what they’d done to Teddy and Nurse Jodie would have seen it / heard it and that’s how it would come out. Now that it didn’t happen that way I’m wondering how it will come to light.

Great storyline though as sexual abuse against men should be highlighted and I hope he plays the storyline really well and sympathetically.

Yes Teddy has been sexually assaulted. If it was just the blonde unpleasant one (while the rest just let it happen) hopefully the bride will help Teddy in the sense of being a witness.

Though if it was enmass I'm not sure how it'll play out.

Did you notice the stripper ran away, just in his gold pants, so he evidently got sexually harasseed while all just stood by.

Also really like new doctor and Nygozi. That's three our of the four newbies I like.

Patrick is a weirdly new not new character. His relationship with everyone is odd.

Why do you think it's odd?

I like that about the new consultant though. He's just there as part of the furniture.

I really like Patrick - it feels like he’s been on the show forever already and I really like how much he’s advocating for Rash.

I assumed Patrick was meant to be a consultant from the hospital already which would explain why everyone knows him, and he's just been moved to the ED after Max left.

I thought the bride was possibly too out of it to realise / remember what happened in the back of the ambulance, which would explain why she didn’t mention it. But she was pretty self-centred and focussed primarily on how her wedding was ruined, not on how awful her friend was generally, so maybe she just thinks sexually harassing paramedics at work is fine 🤢
it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I suspect Patrick will turn out alright, but the way he handled the Dylan-Rash supervisory dynamic basically infected Dylan with Rash’s confidence issues. So now Dylan’s miserable too.

I’d be surprised if he’s meant to have been around the hospital for a while as he suggested Dylan go to the pub.

I don't think he is supposed to have to have been in a different department.
I think they've just done a new thing where they've slotted them all in

I wonder if they're going down the relapse line with Dylan.

Mmm I'm not convinced

It was in the series advert that was on the BBC SM recently that things aren’t going to go very smoothly between Dylan and Patrick. But it’s not clear exactly how it’ll end up, and obviously we don’t want spoilers on here 🫣
