CASUALTY
SATURDAY, 8.20PM & 9.10PM, BBC1
They never do things by halves in the land of Holby! With BBC1's ever popular medical T drama Casualty taking a break from our screens after this Saturday, with the show set to return later this year, bosses are treating fans to an action packed double bill with four big story lines at its heart.
The first instalment centres around advanced clinical practitioner Faith Cadogan (played by Kirsty Mitchell) as her ongoing struggle with drug addiction results in an overdose.
Here, in an exclusive interview, Kirsty, 49, gives TV Times her take on the story...
What can you reveal about Faith's plight in this week's first episode?
Just when you think Faith has hit bottom, she falls further. Faith's best friend, Dr Stevie Nash [Elinor Lawless], is helping her withdraw from diazepam and ADHD medication, and believes she's doing the right thing by lowering her dose. But it feels too quick for Faith. She turns up at the hospital and pleads with Stevie to give her something else to get her through. Stevie says no and sends her home, but Faith spots an open, unattended ambulance...
This is a real low point for her, isn't it?
