Casualty fans say the same thing as BBC show returns with major change

The BBC medical drama finally returned after an extended break

Casualty has made a comeback to BBC One, and there are some new faces in the emergency room.

During the latest visit to the medical drama (January 10), it was the hottest day of the year, and the doctors struggled to stay cool as they battled to save lives. Dylan Keogh (William Beck) was also left hot under the collar after thinking that newly-qualified resident doctor Matty Linlaker (Aron Julius) could be his son.

The newcomer was making quite the impression in the ED, ruffling feathers with Jodie Whyte (Anna Chell) and Flynn Byron (Olly Rix).

Desperate to join the dots together about his potential relation to Dylan, Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) asked him what his mum’s name was, and the connection was seemingly confirmed.

Elsewhere, new doctor Kim Chang (Jasmine Bayes) was getting accustomed to the fast-paced environment of the A&E department, but her day became very challenging.

The locker she’d been assigned in the staffroom once belonged to Ngozi Okoye (Adesuwa Oni), and Nicole Piper (Sammy Dobson) began to dwell on her lost love.

When mentioning that she once fitted a mirror for her ex within the locker, Kim assumed that the worst had happened, which is why she was no longer working there.

However, viewers later learned that Ngozi is very much alive. Kim brought her up in conversation again and implied that she had died.

Nicole was not amused by the suggestion, and right on time, Ngozi called from the rehabilitation facility where she was staying.

Casualty viewers wasted no time in taking to social media to share their excitement at the medical drama’s return after a three-month break, accompanied by two new characters.

Taking to X, one person wrote: “Casualty is finally back! So excited for this new series! #Casualty.”

A second added: “Here we go!!!! After 4 months away due to Strictly #Casualty is finally back.”

A third chimed in: “Yay, it’s casualty time, I’m so happy to have my favourite Saturday night drama back #Casualty.”

“#casualty Great to have you back. I missed you and the lovely actors”, added another while one exclamiemd: “Loving Kim. Such a lovely character. Welcome back Casualty #Casualty.”
