Casualty fans will be eagerly anticipating their next dose of the beloved BBC medical drama this Saturday.

The iconic series, which has graced television screens since 1986, typically broadcasts on Saturday evenings on BBC One, with episodes also available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Casualty's current series, Lethal Legacy, airs its third of 12 episodes tonight, 9 May, with the new season bringing a host of fresh storylines to the fore.

The forthcoming episode will see Matty Linlaker, portrayed by Aron Julius, put his career on the line for Stevie Nash, played by Elinor Lawless. The pair have been struggling in the aftermath of new resident doctor Kim Chang's death following her battle with an eating disorder in the previous series.

In recent scenes, the two have embarked on an unexpected romance, which fans have already predicted is heading for heartbreak, given that both are still coming to terms with Kim's passing.
