What has been your favourite storyline to date?


Casualty has had a lot of great storylines, both patient and nurses/doctors.

What has been your favourite and why?

I liked Dylan's OCD storyline and the current one with Lofty and the defib accident! They're my favourite characters so that's probably why. (I am not looking forward to tonight:'( )

I'm also liking the HD storyline with Cal and Ethan (although more an Ethan fan than Cal). Just because there's a 50/50 chance they could have it doesn't mean one will and one won't, it could also be that neither or both have it.

I remember years ago Rob Kalifer (Sp?) getting in a boat accident and he came into the ED in wet clothes in a sort of Darcy moment. That was quite good!

oooh, I remember Rob! He was a junior doctor as was, wasn't he, rather good looking!

As I have always loved Duffy, especially in the beginning, her main storylines were my favourites. I remember when she discovered she was pregnant and how she split up with Andrew.

He was, he was around in series 7, the early years with Julian Chapman as the main/older doctor on shift. I've just found him on IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0725734/ I don't know how old the photo is, but he's still got it! They should bring his character back, he could come back as an older and wiser registrar or consultant.

Series 11-12 was quite good, the cast was enjoyable to watch, it had Patterson Joseph, Jonathan Kerrigan and Gray O'Brien. At the moment I can't stand Beauchamp and Jacob and Louise has a face like thunder most of the time, so thank goodness for Dylan and Ethan.

I think some of the storylines today are a bit far fetched. I actually stopped watching for a few years in the early-mid 20's (series), I started watching again when Lofty joined and stayed because Dylan joined as well and I liked Ethan.

Oh that would be fab! I remember Karen Goodliffe too, also an SHO very early on. I think my favourite doctor has to be Mike Barret, although Dylan is fab!

Like you, I stopped watching for a few years, but started again when Connie appeared. Love Amanda as an actress, and always loved Connie in Holby too

Mike Barrett was great, he was one of my favourite doctors in the show and Nick Jordan who was also in Holby City (with the great character Anton Meyer)

I think the actress who plays Connie is good, but I don't like the character! I think she's too tough, but maybe to get to the position she's in she's had to become like that. I think that's why I like Ethan so much, he's such a sweetheart! (although, stop being more Cal.) But my ultimate is Dylan, watching him pine for Lofty is heartbreaking, I can't wait for him to return, I just hope Dylan is still there!
There seems to be so many character changes at the moment. It looks like Zoe is leaving, Jack, who's only been there for a few months is leaving and there's the new paramedic Jez who's joined and in a couple of weeks Jason Durr is joining as a nurse aswell as Jaye Griffiths and Kathy Shipton.

I just started to watch this show from seeing some episodes on YouTube. I am from the US so I don't get to see a lot of UK television shows. But this one I enjoy for some reason like how they tell the story of the patient and the staff at the Hospital. The characters of Cal and Ethan bought me on board after seeing a clip a fan made of them on YouTube. I like these two characters and their brother relationship. We don't see that enough on television and usually always the romantic relationships that are always front and center in the shows. There are hardly any characters where it deals with friendship or family drama. At least in some of the television shows I seen.

What I enjoy the most about Cal and Ethan even though they may hate each others guts. They know they love each other. I like that Cal is like his little brother protector. How no matter what Ethan tries to look out for his brother and keeps him out of trouble. One of my favorite stories of their is the HD storyline we know Ethan has the disease now. I wonder how the story is going to unfold for both brothers and how the actors perform it. I hope they show Ethan with some affect to HD in the future I want to see a storyline how it starts to affects his career as a doctor and how it might affect Cal watching his brother being taken over with by the disease. Maybe see him step up to the plate and be there for his brother when the time comes. Also what the staff reaction will be when the hear of Ethan disease.
The other characters I like so far have to be Dylan, Ben and Robin. I also liked Dixie and Jeff saw some of their scenes on YouTube. I have to say even though Jeff died and Dixie left to be with her lover. I think in someways Jeff and Dixie were each other soulmates and best friends. Even if they weren't a couple. I like that this show seems to show different kinds of relationships not just the romantic relationships.
