BBC Casualty spoilers: Four new characters join hospital in twisted time jump episode

NEXT week on Casualty there will be a jump forward in time by six weeks with a significant shift in one character.

Upcoming Casualty scenes will introduce four new characters to the ED, as well as a surprise returning character.

Robyn’s death is still on people’s minds as she is still remembered.

Charlie’s grief comes to the surface when Rash hands him some of her post.

She hides away in the staff room where he catches up with an old friend.

The BBC announced that former Holby City star Donna Jackson will be crossing over to sister show Casualty.

The vibrant nurse will be leading a team of new student nurses.

But has she bitten off more than she can chew?

New nurses Cameron, Jodie, Rida and Ryan will be introduced in next week’s episode.

But who has got what it takes to rise to the challenge in the ED?

Under the supervision of Donna, the new nurses attempt to navigate their first day in the busy ED.

Cameron finds himself struggling with the high-pressure environment.

Jodie’s first day on the job gets off to a bad start, after she spends the night with a stranger she met in a bar.

When she turns up late to her first shift as a consequence, Jodie’s strange behaviour alerts Stevie’s suspicions and she nearly gets dragged away by security.

Can Jodie prove herself to Donna before it’s too late?

Meanwhile Max’s world will be turned upside down by a new face in the ED.

Max finds his shift taking a very unexpected turn when someone from his past turns up – but who could it be?

Iain and Faith’s relationship is going from strength to strength as he continues to support her.

But, as the pair steal some alone time in the ambulance, they are caught out by Teddy – will he keep their secret?

The paramedics will welcome a surprising recruit.

This latest member of the ambulance team is well-known to viewers and is returning to the ED, but not necessarily in the same guise as before.

Casualty airs on Saturday at 8:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
