I think there's hope fir her with what's his name but there's always David.

Poor Robyn, I knew it was too good to be true.
Please find her a decent honest bloke. She deserves it smile

Yes, I know it's fiction before anyone reminds me.

I think that it has been running for over 20 years
It must be well over that.
It was better when it was filmed in Bristol and they used a proper building for the outside instead of the Lego look-alike place they use now.

Well, I still like it!

I used to watch it, but for a long time now have been watching the BBC4 series at 9pm which are usually foreign with subtitles. I used to then watch casualty on catch up but have not bothered for a couple of months, it seemed to have got too unbelievable.

We always watched Casualty when it first started. We used to plat "spot the illness" getting extra points for diagnosing it before the doctors did. The scriptwriters weren't afraid to bring up political points as well. We gave up watching when they turned it into a soap with way too much emphasis on everybody's personal lives. The same thing happened with The Bill which we also stopped watching.

Its fantasy but I love it and try not to miss it or Holby..I get confused if the actors cross over from one to the other...[win]

And I love Connie and the gorgeous black bloke she had a fling with.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 29-May-16 18:04:49

I love it! Almost as good as Holby. Love the characters, the stories, and Charlie. Watched last week's and this week's back to back yesterday evening.

It is a few years since Casualty was half decent. There is too much going on in the personal lives of the staff in my opinion. There is little else on for me to watch. I think that it has been running for over 20 years.

It is the clothes Connie Beauchamp wears and the shoes!!! And Lily is going the same way - any A and E unit I have been to has everyone in scrubs and flat shoes!

Casualty used to be quite good, imho. Now? It's a Saturday night filler-in for those of us for whom the pub has little appeal.

Enjoyable fluff like pretty much everything else on the box.

They've made it more sensational, over the years, maybe to appeal to a different audience. I'm not sure if it was ever supposed to be realistic.

Has been a good programme but seems to be a victim of ' dumbing down ' Another case of patronising the public

Casualty was the first TV programme that Mr P and I watched together blush

For some reason I found myself tuned into this programme last night and was too lazy to turn it off, I watched in mounting disbelief at the worse load of tosh I have seen in years. Awful acting, unbelievable situations, terrible scripts, staff, both 'nurses and doctors' acting like teenagers.....

Is it always this dreadful? hmm
