CASUALTY CONFIRM TWO NEW CASTMATES FOR 35TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS | CASUALTY NEWS

20/5/2021

Today, Thursday 20 May 2021, the BBC have confirmed two new regular cast members will be joining the longest-running, weekly, episodic medical drama in the World, a little later this year when Casualty celebrates its 35th anniversary on our television screens.

These new faces already have old friends in the Emergency Department.
​

Osi Okerafor's arrival will certainly be a spanner in the works for a Casualty fan favourite couple.  Osi's character, Matthew, is a locum registrar with a history of practicing medicine in the World’s trouble spots.  He holds a deep and enduring love for old flame Fenisha Khatri (Olivia D'Lima) who has just recently had a baby with Dr. Ethan Hardy (George Rainsford).

You might recognise Osi's face if you watched Death In Paradice, King Gary or Prisoners Wives.


A BBC insider has told me "Osi will appear on screen as Matthew later this month" which means Matthew will arrive on 29 May due to Casualty taking a weekend off for the Eurovision Song Contest finals from Rotterdam, Netherlands this coming Saturday (22 May).

Osi Okerafor, says:

"It's a pleasure to become a part of the Casualty team.  Everyone here is so genuinely friendly and it's a very exciting environment to work in.  I'm excited for viewers to see Matthew's love for his patients and his willingness to do whatever it takes to care for them; it's a quality I really admire in him."


But, that's not the only new addition to the Holby City Emergency Department because later in the year, Casualty will be celebrating it’s 35th anniversary of being on our television screens with some special episodes.

Elinor Lawless will be joining the stellar cast as Stevie Nash, a new consultant who audiences will meet during these episodes.  Jam-packed with explosive drama, audiences can expect to not only meet new characters, but also be reunited with one or two old faces as well.

Elinor has already been in Casualty back in 2019 as Hollie Summer so it's safe to say Elinor knows her way around the department.  She has also appeared in six episodes of EastEnders.

​Elinor Lawless, says:

"I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the wonderful cast of Casualty!  Stevie Nash is certainly a force to be reckoned with and looks set to ruffle a few feathers in the Holby ED!"

Loretta Preece, Series Producer of Casualty for the BBC, pridefully talks about her team's new recruits and has given an in-depth statement about all things Osi & Elinor.


Loretta Preece, says:

"I am delighted that Osi and Elinor will be joining the Casualty family.  As an actor, Osi has it all; he's handsome and debonair, sensitive and steadfast, passionate and unpredictable.  Osi has been delightful to work with and he and Olivia have a very special on screen bond.  With Osi's beautifully layered performance we slowly reveal some deep undercurrents - he is far more than a classic romantic leading man.  Eli is an exceptional actress and a force of nature.  With Stevie, Eli brings a new and dangerous energy into our world – she's charismatic, contemporary, compelling and on occasion very unsettling.  Her wonderful character and additive backstory is an exciting part of defining a new and exciting era for Casualty as we go into our 35th year."

Casualty returns to BBC television Saturday 29 May 2021.

A BRACELET RUNS RINGS AROUND THE PLATTS | CORONATION STREET SPOILERS

17/5/2021

Picture
Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac) had a meeting so dropped Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) off with Gail Rodwell (Helen Worth).

Rachel & Gail discussed what the youth of today like to do.  Gail made a comment how Max likes the video game Donkey Kong whereas Sam was busy on his electronic tablet researching borders of countries across the World.

Picture
Before leaving number 8 Coronation Street, Natasha made comments on how it was a shame the kids couldn't play outside because of the giant sinkhole in the back garden.  Gail told Natasha she couldn't afford to get it fixed because the last time David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) checked, it would cost "an arm and a leg".

Surprisingly, Natasha propositioned Gail with offering a loan.
Picture
Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) soon arrived and Gail left to go clean Natasha & Sam's flat.

Gail soon returns and finds Audrey slummped on the sofa drinking some wine.
Picture
Upon Gail's return, she noticed Sam had made an electricity conductor board using Natasha's silver bracelet.

Enquiring about the honesty on how Sam aquired the bracelet, Sam said Natasha doesn't like when he uses her jewellery for projects.

For some weird reason, Gail then took the bracelet off of the conductor board for "safe keeping".

Eventually, Natasha came back to number 8 Coronation Street to collect Sam and praise Gail for her work by saying the place is "spotless" only to be told Audrey is upstairs "sleeping it off".

When Gail went to give Natasha the spare key back, Natasha's bracelet fell out of Gail's handbag which shocked Natasha.

Natasha immediately was concered as to why her bracelet ended up in Gail's handbag and Gail tried to cover for Sam by saying it accidentally fell in there.  Soon, Audrey came down wondering what the fuss was about. 

Audrey was quick to defend Gail but it was Sam, himself, who owned up to the bracelet's status.
