CASUALTY
SATURDAY / BBC1 / 9.15PM / DRAMA
Meeting a good friend during a time of crisis is never a bad thing. But Casualty favourite Charlie Fairhead (Derek
Thompson) doesn’t even show seasonal goodwill towards Tess Bateman, who makes a surprise return to the ED for a two-part special set on Christmas Day 2020.
The popular nurse was a stalwart of the wards from 2003 until 2015, when she left to spend more time with her son, Sam, and grandson, Charlie.
Here, in an exclusive interview, actor Suzanne Packer, 59, is typically candid about what brings Tess back, and why the BBC1 medical drama holds a special place in her heart...
It’s great to see you in the show again! What brings about Tess’ return?
I was delighted and very flattered to be asked back!
There is a nursing shortage in the department because of the COVID-19 crisis. And, of course, Tess is always keen to see her old friends, especially Charlie.
She must be shocked when he gives her the cold shoulder?
