Cast

Overview

All 16 main characters from series thirteen initially returned - consultant cardiothoracic surgeons Elliot Hope (Paul Bradley) and Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel), consultant general surgeons Henrik Hanssen (Guy Henry), Ric Griffin (Hugh Quarshie) and Michael Spence (Hari Dhillon), consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dan Hamilton (Adam Astill), cardiothoracic surgical registrars Sahira Shah (Laila Rouass) and Greg Douglas (Edward MacLiam), general surgical registrars Antoine Malick (Jimmy Akingbola) and Sacha Levy (Bob Barrett), Foundation Training 2 doctor Oliver Valentine (James Anderson), Foundation Training 1 doctor Frieda Petrenko (Olga Fedori), senior nurse Eddi McKee (Sarah-Jane Potts), ward sister Chrissie Williams (Tina Hobley), staff nurse Elizabeth Tait (La Charné Jolly) and agency nurse Chantelle Lane (Lauren Drummond).[3][4][5]

In November 2011, Joseph Millson was introduced as AAU's new trauma registrar Luc Hemingway. Millson described the character as someone who "winds everybody up" without realising that he is doing so. Young expanded, "Luc is an enigmatic stranger whose diagnostic genius and acerbic wit make him a brilliant doctor but an occasionally infuriating colleague. Joseph's created an intriguing, complex and riveting character who will most definitely bring a new dimension to the AAU ward."[6] New Foundation Training 1 doctor Tara Lo (Jing Lusi) joined the show on 6 March 2012,[7] followed by the introduction of experienced consultant general surgeon Serena Campbell (Catherine Russell), nurse and transplant co-ordinator Jonny Maconie (Michael Thomson) and cardiothoracic registrar Mo Effanga (Chizzy Akudolu) in May 2012.[8]

Several cast members have departed since the beginning of Series 14. Jolly left the show on 25 October 2011 when her character was written out of the show. On 21 October 2011, Rouass announced her intention to leave the show to spend more time with her family. Rouass final scenes will be aired in April or May 2012. On 12 December 2011, MacLiam announced his intention to also depart the series.[9] Rouass departed from the series on 17 April 2012, with MacLiam following on 1 May 2012. Olga Fedori left her role as F2 Frieda Petrenko on 15 May 2012. On 17 May 2012, it was announced that Adam Astill would be leaving the show in July.
