Exclusive: Casualty to introduce two new doctors in major series change
Casualty may currently be off our screens for its regular autumn break, but when the show returns in the months ahead, the ED is set to look a bit different – with some fresh faces confirmed to be joining the team.
The next boxset, titled ‘Learning Curve’, will kick off in late December, as the BBC medical drama heads into its all-important 40th year on TV.

As the drama is set to continue for the Holby gang, there are two brand-new doctors on their way to shake things up…
Speaking exclusively to us on the red carpet at the Inside Soap Awards 2025, Olly Rix – who plays clinical lead Flynn Byron – revealed what we can expect from these mysterious characters.
“We get to introduce two new junior doctors who are going to join the main cast,” he explained.
“A large part of the series is watching their progression as young people entering the NHS, and how senior doctors consult with them and guide them and help them – or maybe fail in that aspect. So, it’s going to be an interesting investigation into that.”
The likes of current characters Rash Masum and Nicole Piper were first introduced to the show as junior doctors, and viewers have watched the highs and lows of their developing careers in recent boxsets.
Casting of the two new members of the team has not yet been announced, but Milo Clarke, who plays paramedic Teddy, assured us that the actors are “both great additions” to the show.
Casualty’s latest boxset ‘Supply and Demand’ left fans on a devastating cliffhanger ahead of the show’s break, after Nicole attempted to stop Ngozi moving back to Nigeria by confessing her love for her ex.
But recovering alcoholic Ngozi tragically relapsed at the airport in front of her son Obi and suffered a serious head injury after a fall.
She was rushed to hospital and Nicole could only watch on as the team attempted to revive her, but Ngozi’s fate has been left up in the air.
The Inside Soap Awards 2025 took place in London on Monday night (September 29) and saw Casualty favourite Michael Stevenson scoop Best Drama Star for his role as paramedic Iain Dean.
