Hopefilly any new characters who join, will stay and they will be good characters.

What's happened to Charlie recently? I've only seen him this series when the storyline with Louis, his mum and grandad was running. Isn't the character meant to be senior nurse or something? If so, he's not spending much time in his department looking after his nurses!

Also, what's happended to the initial buildup to episode storylines? In earlier series you used to get the introduction to the characters, the 'accident' eg spectacular car crashes and stunts etc, then the aftermath in A&E. Now you just get the paramedics at the scene and the diagnosis in the department. There's more emphasis on love lives of the staff now - it's all beginning to look too much like Holby City now, in my opinion.

Absolutely! Casualty reached its peak a few years ago and has been going steadily downhill ever since. It is just a soap nowadays and a pretty poor one at that. Hardly any of the characters are likeable or make you care about them.

I've given up watching it now after years of loyal viewing!

agreed Charlie has all but dissaped since the stroyline with Louis, I cant help but wonder if they should have used that as his exit storyline.

anyways as the "accidents" I wonder if the BBC spent the entire FX budget on the trian crash episode leaving bearly any left for the rest of the show.
