Casualty interweaves these intriguing, exciting and dramatic tales with the loves and lives of the hospital staff in a compelling hospital drama series that has continued for over 20 years.
Following the tragic death of Selena Donovan at the end of Series 21, the staff of Holby City's Emergency Department find themselves thrown back into the thick of the action. With Corporate Mangager Nathan Spencer (Ben Price) struggling to cope with looking after Angel and new Executive Director Marilyn Fox (Caroline Langrishe) determined to ring in the changes it looks as if the first casualty will be Nathan himself.
