I bow to your superior knowledge and expertise george. I picked up on the "school-night" reference and was all like 'yeah, a Grace reference' and then figured that it was perhaps a little subtle. I giggled at the 'Connie = dangerous' email upon her arrival, but shouldn't Nick be on his way out? I might be wrong, I didn't watch at all regularly in that era, but wasn't it about five years he was given or something? Should he not be pretty far along even with the stay of execution he got thanks to the operation he got? I don't know. Also, it was a little curious because of the timing of his departure from Holby City (season 8), between Nick and Connie, it's more a rivalry thing than the usual political scheming we are used to from her which is usually that between a CEO and Director of Surgery or coveting the DoS job. As to the other characters, the Casualty specific people, I used some hypothetical examples that I could pull out from the old memory, in that surely it cuts both ways and demonstrates why I suppose TPTB might be nervous about referencing backwards too much.
Yeah, Nick should be on his way out as he's had about the time he was given, but lots of people live longer than their diagnoses. The American TV writer Sam Simon (probably best known for being one of the original team working on The Simpsons) has terminal cancer, and was given three to six months to live in late 2012. As of yet, he is still going. It's not too hard to believe that Nick Jordan is doing okay and at least has the capacity to compose emails and think coherently, so long as he isn't brought back as a staff member.

I don't post here much (I'm more of a lurker) but isn't it time we were treated with a new Casualty autumn/winter highlights video? We got the last one on the 1st of May, which featured clips up to the 23rd of August - the end of series 28 - and yet there's no sign of a new one on the casualty website

As anybody seen the new autumn trailer? I get the hint that from robyns face that a main cast member dies plus that massive car crash involving 4 of the biggest characters. Poor tess she is involved in that only weeks after suriving a train cash she must be the most unluckiest woman ever

Think it looks pretty good, i was convinced that Jeff was going to die, but now I'm thinking it will be someone in the crash, unless they have 2 deaths planned.

I'm sure I saw Ethan in the crash at one point - and also a clip of Cal looking upset on the ED

Cal at 1:23 is very interesting. Could it be Ethan?

I think that Ash will die in the crash because it doesn't seem like he has any storylines coming up. Also, I think that Jeff will have a sad exit, judging by what Gemma Atkinson has said.

Double death in crash maybe? I got that feeling that Ash was going to die, think it could be how Zoe comes back.

I too have seen the trailer, I've watched it twice just to see whether I picked it up right. I loathe and detest the music in the background - what is it about these people insisting on putting current pop music that overpowers everything else just to trick you into thinking you are seeing something earth-shattering. Okay, maybe a little cynical there, but it's a good trailer other than that - certainly a few different possibilities presented, one thing seems likely - I don't think they could kill two main-cast members in such a short time given Jeff's imminent departure.

I suspect londongirlGre might have picked a winner - to me it looks like Ash is the candidate for particularly bad things happening, connecting the Robyn-related dots. He hasn't really had anything to do other than sighing disapprovingly in Connie's direction and moaning at Rita since Ella departed under a cloud. Interesting timing, it looks like a lot of it will be popped right in the middle of a run of X Factor on the other-side. And is Tess the most unlucky Nurse ever? The statistical improbability of being in a train-crash (rare) and a serious car-wreck in the same year must be sky-high - but of course that never stopped this lot....

Nice costumes by the way, Honey is going to be diabolical - I can feel it, just as Ned-dy as I feared; it actually looks like the Brothers might be developing some kind of detante cordiale there - perhaps they will finally move us beyond the obvious sibling-rivalry crap and is it just me or is Charlie really good at telling-people where they are going wrong but not brilliant at suggesting workable alternatives. He was about as helpful with Zoe when she was floundering as Clinical Lead, not saying "well you could try doing this", just saying "you're a bit rubbish at this, make a change". Connie doesn't do 'touchy-feeley, let's all be friends', they know that, expecting much change is rather silly and telling her that the troops are unhappy, well, not only will she certainly know that anyway, but it is stating the obvious there Charles....

We shall see....

If Ash dies, what was the point of bringing him back in the first place? He's been back almost two years, and hasn't really been involved in any huge storylines in that time. Casualty could easily have gone on without him. Is anyone else wondering this?

I did ponder Ethan but I thought Cal would look more cut-up if it was him. Plus I think there's more mileage in Ethan/Cal than Ash.

I think the fact that tess has been put in a crash so soon is possibly deliberate, highlighting the fact Fletch isn't there to save her this time... I think two of them are severely injured, with reference to the amputation... Charlie is talking to
Someone, Connie I think saying 'you've got a team who are in bits out there and you can't give them what they need', which is probably why she brings Zoe back...

And erika hossington said in an interview that when Zoe comes back, things are different ...

Very true. I'm loving Cal/Ethan - I don't think we've even seen their potential yet.

Maybe Cal tries to save Ash but can't and that's why Lofty gives him a sympathetic pat on the arm?

Let's face it, with Ethan, ash, connie and Lily trapped in the car and Zoe gone, that only leaves cal to treat them all!

Yeah, the pat on the arm was telling - I feel like Cal would deserve more than that if it was Ethan!
