BBC’s long-running medical drama Casualty has been unexpectedly removed from the BBC One schedule tonight, leaving many fans confused and disappointed. The show, which usually airs on Saturday evenings and is made available earlier in the day on BBC iPlayer, will not be broadcasting a new episode as planned.

According to updated TV listings, the BBC has made a last-minute schedule change, replacing Casualty with alternative programming, meaning viewers will now have to wait until the next scheduled episode airs.

This is not the first time the popular drama has been temporarily pulled from the schedule, as the BBC has previously shifted regular programming to accommodate special broadcasts, films, or major events.

Despite the frustration, Casualty remains one of the UK’s most beloved and longest-running dramas, following the intense personal and professional lives of A&E staff at Holby City Hospital.

The current run of episodes has already delivered high-stakes storylines and emotional twists, making the sudden break even harder for loyal viewers.

Fans can expect the series to return to screens soon, with anticipation continuing to build for the next dramatic chapter.
