Blimey! God knows I love the show but this one is wearing me out. There's so much going on. I managed to get half way through the second hour and logged out to watch the final half later.I left Stevie and Flynn in a heap on the edge of the quarry.
Agree nice to see Ethan and Charlie.
Ethan's Huntingdons obviously starting to affect him as he can't practice.
New season off with a bang .....

I love Casualty and look forward to it so much, but I don’t love these manic explosions that they seem to have every episode now, with army, police, SAS and whatever involved, I much prefer it when it’s ordinary casualties coming and going for medical help with everyday true to life stories.
That was ultra manic last night and at times VERY unbelievable

I think Indie is a great little actor and deserves more, recognition it was nice to see Father Christmas and Ethan back again, even if only one episode, Ethan looked small and thin I wonder what’s happened to Bohdi and if Ethan is still looking after him wasn’t that his main reason for leaving the show

The only soap I watch, it did stretch credibility a little, but easy viewing.

Anyone else wondering how the ambulance lights kept flashing underwater??

I enjoyed it and disappointed that’s it till next year. I’ve watched Casualty and Holby (miss it) since the start, would be lovely if Ethan comes back in some capacity.

Yes, I think there is scope for Ethan to come back but not as an ED doctor, so we wouldn’t see much of him.
I did think it was “ miraculous” that both Flynn and Stevie survived.

I have always watched casualty and last night's episodes were brilliant I was on the edge of my seat and great to see Charlie and Ethan 😊

I watched and enjoyed it. Did find the first half hour or so a bit dizzying with all the rapid camera movements though they settled down after a while. Great to see Charlie and Ethan again. At least everyone knows who Charlie is so luckily he doesn’t have to attempt acting. Thought there was a teaser that there may be a place for Ethan at Holby in the new series, hope so.
I have never heard of deliberately letting someone drown so that the little oxygen there is can save the other person who can then revive the drownee. Clever that.
So good to have something on TV to watch over the weekend, miss casualty like an old comfy pair of slippers.

Did anyone watch this yesterday? I really enjoyed it. I know there were some melodramatic moments but it was a great storyline. I hope they don't spoil it when it moves location in the new series next year.
