Series 34 of Casualty ran between 17 August 2019 and 26 September 2020. Filming for the series' first episode took place in April 2019. It was originally set to comprise 46 episodes, but three episodes were not produced due to the suspension of the show's production in March 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst Simon Harper continued to serve as the show's executive producer, it was confirmed by the BBC in April 2019 that Lucy Rafferty had stepped down as series producer. In September 2019, it was announced that Loretta Preece would assume the role, with her being credited from episode 5 onwards.
Overview[]
Cast changes and guest appearances[]
In April 2019, it was announced that Amanda Mealing would be "taking a break" from her role as Connie Beauchamp and would return to filming in the autumn.[1] Prior to the announcement, Mealing had posted a video on Twitter of her leaving her dressing room with the caption, "The last out turns the lights off. @BBCCasualty it’s been emotional."[2] Mealing's returning scenes were shown in episode 18 which aired in January 2020.
In the first episode of the series, Neet Mohan reprised his role as junior doctor Rashid Masum. In April 2019, following Rash's exit from the show in episode 1124, it was confirmed that Mohan had taken a break from the series and had already returned to filming.[3] In July, a spokesperson confirmed that Rash's returning scenes would air in mid-August.[4]
In May, Michael Stevenson announced that he was "taking a break" from his role as paramedic Iain Dean; he thanked fans of the show for their support during Iain's mental health storyline and assured them that "Iain's journey will continue". executive producer Simon Harper [5] However, in September, new series producer Loretta Preece stated that there was "no plans at present" to write Iain back into the show, though "the door is wide open".[6] Stevenson's final scenes as Iain were featured in episode 5.
On 7 August, the BBC issued a press release stating that Jane Hazlegrove would be making two appearances as former series regular Kathleen Dixon in series 34. Simon Harper remarked, "Dixie was and remains a massively popular character with the audience who miss her to this day, and she and Iain are clearly going to have a lot to catch up on after his tumultuous year."[7] Hazlegrove appeared in episodes 4 and 5, facilitating Iain Dean's exit storyline.[8]
The following week, a BBC press release stated that Victor Oshin would be joining the show in series 34 as "overconfident" F1 Mason Reede. Simon Harper was impressed by Oshin's first audition for the character and stated, "He’s brilliant as Mason, layering the character with a deep vulnerability beneath the bravado of a junior Doctor." Oshin made his first appearance as Mason in the series' second episode on 24 August.[9] Oshin exited the show in December of the same year, with the beginning of episode 17 depicting Rashid Masum discovering Mason's dead body in a store cupboard; Oshin's departure from the show had not been announced prior to the episode's broadcast.[10]
Suspension of production[]
On 18 March 2020, the BBC issued a statement on the effect of the worsening COVID-19 outbreak on BBC Studios' continuing dramas, such as Casualty and Holby City, and announced that all filming would be postponed until further notice. It was explained that "the decision was made after the latest government update".[11] Shortly after the announcement was made, Jason Durr, who portrayed David Hide, explained that Casualty would continue airing new episodes "for a few more weeks ahead" on account of the show filming episodes three to four months in advance.[12]
By 24 March, the producers of Casualty and Holby City were in talks with local NHS services to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) "and other useful medical items to assist them". Simon Harper said, "Casualty and Holby City are all about celebrating NHS heroism, so we are only too happy to help out and do what we can for the courageous and selfless real-life medics battling this situation."[13]
On 2 May, immediately before the transmission of the series' 33rd episode, BBC One's continuity announcer introduced the episode by explaining that the episode that was originally scheduled to air had been skipped because it had been "considered inappropriate to show at the moment", but the most important moments of the episode would be shown in the catch-up section. The beginning of the rescheduled episode showed scenes of the main cast wearing full PPE, quarantine tents and patients being ventilated. On Twitter, Simon Norman, the writer of the dropped episode, explained that the decision to skip it was made due to its imagery and the symptoms portrayed in the episode such as breathing problems, but he clarified that the episode did not feature a virus outbreak.[14]
Following the broadcast of episode 35 on 30 May, the show took a month-long break to keep it on-air for as long as possible. On 2 July, it was announced that the transmission of new Casualty episodes would resume the following week.[15] On 6 August, a Digital Spy article stated that, as of the date the article was published, there were six episodes of the series remaining to be broadcast, meaning that the entire series had been filmed before lockdown.[16]
On 4 August, George Rainsford — the actor who portrays Ethan Hardy — posted a tweet announcing that filming of Casualty would resume in September;[17][18] the tweet was later deleted.
