When a patient is revealed as the revenge target of a taxi driver, Rita digs deeper and helps him to admit to his wife the full facts of the tragic road accident in which he was the driver. Following the discovery that Rita's husband is alive, the staff in the ED continue to struggle to accept the truth about the colleague they had been led to believe was a grieving widow. As Connie discusses her feelings on the senior staff nurse position with Tess, has Rita now ruined her chance of promotion?
Casualty is the world's longest running and most successful medical drama series on television. It depicts the private and working lives of the patients, doctors, nurses and all others attending a small but frantically busy accident and emergency department of the large Holby General hospital. By mixing episodic plots with longer, character-based stories it ensures that we get to know the characters as people with lives, not just doctors or nurses. With consistently superb storylines and great acting, Casualty is compulsive viewing. The show began in 1986 and since then only one character remains; the one and only Charlie Fairhead played by Derek Thompson.
