Looks like Oliver James is gonna screw it up even more... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01l1x94

Redesigning A&E AGAIN? Resus moving, new reception area... how long would that take? 6-8 weeks?

Cue a full teardown of a lot of kit... relocating A&E, rerouting ambulances on Holby Hosp grounds to make room for the skips...

Don't they think about how this will affect ops? If so - will they write it in in a feasible manner?

I assume Casualty will be taking a Christmas break again from start of December to the middle of January as it did last year, so they'll probably do it in this gap

Yeah - but if Holby City is airing during that time, surely they'll need to have some kind of visual continuity in exterior shots...

And hardly a surprise he talks about tam..

Not looking good for fletch staying around is it?

They woudlnt put the picture of them if it didnt mean anything

Many thanks,

Cannot wait for her to return.

Holby City going to Cardiff.

Hope not

If it is going to happen then importantly it will be cost effective and allow more interaction/crossovers between the productions, it could also free up space at Elstree for new projects.

I so hope you're right

But i love meeting holby people at elstree..lol

It looks like Oliver Mead is only staying in Casualty for one year. Someone asked him in twitter, how long he will be in Cardiff for and he replied back saying "a year". But contracts can be extended though.

A one line spoiler up. 3 weeks in advance. We are privileged!

He said characters are leaving

I agree, don't like either of them. She is a terrible actress (I call her Dr Wooden) & he is as you say without any charisma.

I don't like the fact that he is now drug addiction free - without Abby ref to detox.

Thank God - AWFUL storyline, bloody AWFUL !!!

tam are worse than them and they get far more screentime.

You mean APART from Jac or Connie ?

Can I ask just out of interest, how many of you guys watched the British Legion replacement program in place of Casually ?

[I didn't]

i watched the rest of x factor and JR.

I just watched something on my Planner. I just don't imagine that people who would be watching Casualty will have watched the replacement program.

I'm not being disrespectful - just stating a fact that the majority of the audience for this kind of thing must be of pensionable age (or boring politicions because it's politically correct). So it really annoys me that they can't put it on bbc2 where it's target audience would be watching anyway.

Put it this way, I'd be absolutely flabbergasted if when I go to watch Boardwalk empire on my planner in a moment to find a Remembrance program in its place.

The BBC are terrible for doing this - I remember last year ? they took a scheduled program off air because 2 police officers had been shot & killed & the program that was meant to be on had a police officer attacked and injured. Meanwhile on Sky Atlantic Boardwalk empire started that night with the very first scene featuring a firing squad of gangsters taking out a bunch of FBI - bloody great ! Lol no messing around like the BBC !

i remember that i think was it one of the soaps taken off? i understand the reason for it but i think its unfair they have to always remove casualty. they couldve removed alantis

Just put it on bbc2 - end of.

The program I was thinking of was Cop starring Mark Warren.

It was, 'Good Cop' with Warren Brown.

The BBC finds it easier to remove Casualty because its recorded and on, often.
