Casualty cast now - what the original stars did next from Downton Abbey to Hollywood movies

ok.co.uk:

Brimming with drama and a seemingly never-ending supply of unique and nail-biting medical situations, the BBC's Casualty has long been a staple of Saturday night viewing.

Racking up an impressive 700 plus episodes and counting, the much-loved series began life in 1986, going on to scoop four BAFTAs, a National Television Award and even spawning its own spin-off series in Holby City.

Proudly laying claim to the title of 'the longest-running emergency medical drama in the world', Casualty still holds its coveted Saturday night primetime slot on BBC One, though in the past has also cropped up on a Friday, too.

Since this unstoppable juggernaut began, only one original character has remained loyal to the series. We know you know who that is – it’s the level-headed voice of reason and calm himself, Charlie Fairhead, played so admirably by the equally steadfast Derek Thompson.
