The BBC One medical drama Casualty is not airing tonight (Saturday, September 26) as it is taking a break following its 40th anniversary special, which aired earlier this month. The special episodes celebrated four decades of the show with intense scenes, including an explosion in a city and an ambulance falling from a cliff into a quarry. These events placed characters like Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) and Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) in dangerous situations. Returning cast members included Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) and Ethan Hardy (George Rainsford), while Dylan Keogh (William Beck) faced a tragic loss with the death of his ex-partner, Sophia Peters (Kellie Shirley), due to the explosion. The 40th anniversary episodes were broadcast as a one-week special, and the show will now take a break during the run of Strictly Come Dancing. It is set to return to television next year with a brand new series, as confirmed during the end credits of the anniversary episodes. The BBC One announcer said, "the best is yet to come" for the show. Actor Olly Rix, who plays Flynn Byron, spoke to Metro about the future of his character and Stevie Nash. He mentioned that the life-or-death situation in the 40th anniversary episodes could change their relationship, leading to a deeper understanding of their connection. Rix emphasized that this moment marks the beginning of their story, not the end, though he did not provide further details. The 40th anniversary episodes, along with the entire run from 2023-2025, are now available to stream on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. In the meantime, viewers can watch the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday nights.
