In series 22, Charlie celebrates thirty-five years in nursing. However, he struggles with childcare issues and the news that he or Tess Bateman will be made redundant. Although Tess volunteers, Charlie is asked to leave after a fight with a patient. He returns several months later, working in the private sector. Charlie becomes a grandfather after teenager Louis's brief relationship with Shona Wark results in a daughter.

While searching for his missing granddaughter (taken by a mentally ill patient), Charlie sees Ruth Winters's husband kissing his lover, James. Charlie debates whether to tell Ruth and confesses when comforting her. Hurt and humiliated by his deception, Ruth has Charlie transferred.
He is described by the BBC as "the lynchpin of Holby's ED. [...] an indispensable, trustworthy and diplomatic member of the team." Ex-series producer Oliver Kent has described Charlie as "by far our most important character" and "absolutely core to the show's success".[citation needed] In 2012, Inside Soap described Charlie and Tess as 'the mum and dad of Casualty'. Current producer Nikki Wilson talked about the importance of Charlie and Tess saying, "I think it's really crucial that we keep them around. Charlie has been in the show for 25 years, and he's such an iconic character. It's fantastic he's still here. His relationship with Tess is quite important - as you say, they're like the parents of the whole department - so long may it continue."[1]

The BBC described her as "a traditionalist [...] dedicated [and] well-balanced".

Current producer Nikki Wilson talked about the importance of Charlie and Tess saying, "I think it's really crucial that we keep them around.

She first appeared as a paramedic having transferred from another hospital alongside close friend, Cyd Pyke. When senior paramedic Josh Griffiths takes a six month sabbatical to travel the world, Dixie becomes Operational Duty Officer. She forges a friendship with new recruit, Jeff Collier, to whom she admits she is a lesbian. Believing Cyd's life is in danger, following a venomous snake bite, Dixie confesses her love for her friend. When Cyd recovers, their friendship is strained by this and she transfers to another hospital. In series 23, Dixie accidentally runs a girl over whilst driving the ambulance. Hazlegrove assess that this incident "dictates what happens to Dixie over the course of [series 23] - the wheels fall off." [citation needed] Dixie requires counselling after the accident. The victim's family burn her house down in revenge, and she moves in with Jeff. Dixie asks Jeff to marry her, to make her father proud as he is unaware she is a lesbian. Her father, who is on his deathbed, catches Dixie kissing another woman and suffers a heart attack.
In between part 1 and part 2 of the Holby Riots, Dixie & Jeff were in a red button special which sees Dixie encourage Jeff to speak to his children again.
Inside Soap described Dixie and Jeff as the 'dynamic duo'. In an interview with Inside Soap, producer Nikki Harris teased what was next for the two saying, "Dixie and Jeff were central to our opening episodes in Cardiff, as they really came under pressure with the car crash and the explosion that happened on the estate. And as we look at how the police interact with ED later on, the paramedics are going to be on the front line in terms of that, because they're sort of in between each side. So Jeff and Dixie are set to have key roles in those storylines when they play out on screen."[1]

| Family | Vera Chalker (mother) |
Mackenzie "Big Mac" Chalker played by Charles Dale, is a Porter who first appeared on 24 November 2007.[citation needed] Mac is a British Sign Language interpreter, which according to the website is because his mother Vera was profoundly deaf. He has a budding friendship with receptionist, Noel Garcia
The BBC describe him as "lonely" and "vulnerable" stating that he "hates himself" and "spends his days loathing the world and his nights gorging on comfort food, escaping into James Bond films.[citation needed] An episode of series 23 devoted to the character sees him assume a vigilante role on the city's Farmead Estate.[citation needed]Dale states that the episode causes Mac to realise: "it's time he stood up for himself and that he can't run from things that happened in the past all his life.[citation needed] Describing Mac's personality, Dale appraised that Mac is "deeply introverted" and struggles to accept that his colleagues actually like him.[citation needed] He explained that although Mac occasionally acts pompously, this approach is "a mask that he puts on to keep people at distance when he gets afraid or embarrassed".[citation needed] He expanded that Mac has: "been scared to go out and he’s terrified of life. But because of people in the hospital he’s slowly discovering it."[citation needed]
Zoe Hanna
| Zoe Hanna | |

| Casualty character | |
| First appearance | 29 December 2007 |
| Portrayed by | Sunetra Sarker |
| Information | |
| Occupation |
Clinical Lead (2012-) Trauma Lead (2010-2012) Consultant in Emergency Medicine (2007-2010) Senior Consultant in Emergency Medicine (2011-) |
Zoe Hanna is played by Sunetra Sarker and first appeared on 29 December 2007. She is the Clinical Lead in the Emergency Department.
She had an affair with Orthopaedic Consultant Sean Anderson, unaware he is the husband of her colleague and friend, staff nurse Jessica Harrison. In series 22 episode 29, she is promoted within the department over colleague Maggie Coldwell. When Maggie appears at a tribunal for negligence, hospital manager Marilyn Fox asks Zoe to lie in court, condemning Maggie. She blackmails Zoe, threatening to expose her affair with Sean. Zoe disregards her threat, clears Maggie's name, and admits to the affair herself. Zoe is dismayed when she discovered she cannot have children. She becomes close to Abby, a patient of hers who is being abused by her husband and his father. She takes in Abby and her daughter Sharice, and when Abby and her husband are both killed in a fight, begins fostering Sharice. She takes steps towards adopting her, however comes to realise that she is struggling to balance her work and childcare, and allows Sharice to live with her maternal grandparents. Another major storyline which reached its peak in the episode 'Sunset Syndrome' involved Zoe lying in order to save Nick Jordan's life against his will. Much remains unsaid in this relationship as he originally did not appreciate her actions stating that he had given permission to undergo surgery, with him later assuming that Zoe was pregnant, prompting her to begin failed cycles of fertility treatments. He never realised this, and broke up with her upon discovering she was not pregnant, which he had merely assumed.
Yvonne Rippon was stabbed during the Holby riots, which resulted in Nick Jordan Clinical Lead taking extended leave to look after her (and after her death, to resign from the post). Director of Surgery Henrik Hanssen promoted Zoe to Clinical Lead.
Development
Prior to appearing in Casualty, Sarker had played a guest role in spin-off show Holby City.[citation needed] Sarker describes Zoe as: cheeky and rebellious", as well as "very selfish, very righteous, and very rude [citation needed] Sarker commented that although Zoe initially began fostering Sharice out of guilt, as the story progressed, she adapted to the role more easily than she had expected, and: "underneath all the Zoe layers, I think there's quite a decent human being. She's just layered by a lot of selfishness, a lot of righteousness, a lot of pigheadedness, and those traits don't lend them to being a mother very easily. I think that once she's peeled off a few of those layers, she's quite liking being a mum.[citation needed] Having given up Sharice, Zoe then embarks on a relationship with department head Nick Jordan. Sarker explained that Zoe and Nick have a very interesting dynamic" and that: "You can see that they're very similar people which would make them allies or enemies. [...] Zoe's the first female to meet Jordan's professional standards. She's no pussycat and Jordan knows that. He's got a certain amount of respect for her, as she has for him.[citation needed] Characterising the relationship, Sarker explained: "They've both been single for a very long time through their own choices and neither of them feel any pressure or expectations, which is a good combination for something to happen. I think this is the grown-up version of a flirtation. It's a bit more factual with these two; there isn't much softness or gooeyness to them. They are more like steel on steel!"[citation needed]
In 2012, after the characters of Sam and Dylan were revealed to be married, Casualty producer Nikki Wilson teased Zoe's relationship to Inside Soap with Dylan saying, "The relationship between Dylan and Zoe is very interesting, because when we first mentioned the obvious chemistry between the pair to the actors who play them [William Beck and Sunetra Sarker], they genuinely had no idea! So in one way it's great that they're not playing it in that way. But we really enjoy their banter, and there's definitely a lot more stuff to happen between them. Whether they'll get together remains to be seen...."[1]

The BBC described him as "the practical joker of the bunch", who believes he is only working on the reception as a stop-gap before his big break.[citation needed] Noel is "very much a people person", and "the Laurel to Big Mac's Hardy".[citation needed] Marshall was cast in the role having been out of work for six months, and admitted to being nervous about joining, but commented: "it is such a well run show that on my first day, I felt like I'd always been here."[citation needed]

| Spouse(s) |
Dylan Keogh (unknown-2012) Tom Kent (2013-) |
Samantha 'Sam' Kent (Previous married name: Keogh Maiden name: Nicholls) played by Charlotte Salt, is a Specialty Registrar in Emergency Medicine and a major in the Royal Army Medical Corps. The character appeared from the 15th October 2011. It was revealed in series 26 episode 16, that she was the wife of Dylan Keogh. She has, however, served divorce papers on her estranged husband despite the fact that he was hoping for a reconciliation.
On 30 September 2011, it was announced that Charlotte Salt was joining Casualty as Sam Nicholls, a new medic. Salt's casting was announced the same time as Tom Kent (Oliver Coleman). The BBC said, "Seen on TV screens earlier this year in Sky's supernatural series Bedlam, Charlotte (26) joins the Casualty cast as ambitious army medic, Sam Nicholls. Fast-living, fearless and fiery, Sam has a surprising link with another member of the ED team." Series producer Nikki Wilson said of her casting: "Charlotte and Oliver are incredibly talented, much sought-after actors and we're delighted to welcome them to the new Casualty set in Cardiff. Both new characters are set to inject a shot of excitement into the emergency department and, as ever, both will have an air of intrigue about them."[2] In a 2012 interview with Inside Soap, producer Nikki Harris teased Sam's next storyline saying, "Last week Sam restrained a patient, and it's something that will bubble under for the rest of the series. Whether or not she used excessive force on him becomes the subject of an investigation, and she ends up having to go to a hearing. It puts a huge amount of pressure on the ED because Sam's colleagues feel they must support her, but also have to remain truthful to themselves. Sam moved me to tears when I watched this week episodes."[1]
This has now been resolved and Sam was cleared of any wrongdoing after new evidence was brought before the GMC by Zoe Hanna. In episode 39, Sam tries to get Dylan to sign divorce papers after he hoped for them to get back together after the GMC trial. After Tom talks to Dylan, he agrees that everyone should have a chance to live their lives, and signs the papers. Sam becomes romantically involved with Tom in Episode 3 of Series 27 (Rock Paper Scissors) where the couple end up kissing after a night out in the pub. Over time, their relationship grows closer, and in Episode 29 of Series 27, Tom announces that he wants a committed relationship with her after he gets jealous when another doctor asks her out. A speech exclaiming his feelings towards her and a kiss in the middle of the E.D convinces her that she really loves him.
Her boyfriend then struggled through a drug addiction due to panic attacks, but Sam helped him through it and he promised to stop taking the drugs. After a short row where Tom hit Sam by accident, Sam forgave him and the two made up, leaving the Series 27 finale with a kiss. The couple have returned to their 'happy-in-love' stage, and their relationship grows ever closer.
In Series 28 episode 12, Sam and Tom get engaged. After Tom's proposal plan was ruined by Robyn and Iain, Sam hastily proposes to Tom herself, to which he accepts. Sam and Tom marry in Series 28 episode 16, and leave Holby together for an 'extended honeymoon' and fresh start.

In fact, the way he connects with children is set to be a key feature in the stories in which he'll be involved."[1] Tom had an on/off affair with Sam Nicholls at the beginning of the series, however throughout the series Tom struggles with drug addiction and his adoption of which his love interest Sam Nicholls supported him and helped him to overcome.

Robyn is determinedly positive and extremely chatty. She makes friends easily and is able to charm patients and get them on side with her down to earth talkative charm. However, this can sometimes be her downfall as she loves a good gossip but isn't the best at keeping secrets![4]
