Casualty Ngozi is introduced to Charlie
Casualty’s Adesuwa Oni who plays Ngozi Okoye admitted it was an “honour” to join the show in the build up to the exit of Charlie Fairhead. The actress is at the centre of the drama in today’s (April 26) episode when she confides in Siobhan McKenzie (Melanie Hill) about finding a camera. With the department on tenterhooks over a Whistleblower, she later fears her job is on the line.

It is just the latest huge story for the Nigerian-born actress who joined the long-running BBC medical drama in January. However, unlike most arrivals, she almost entered by stealth. Her character arrived without much fanfare when she was introduced as an exchange nurse from Nigeria.

Almost immediately she found herself being defended by Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) after a patient was racist towards her. This was just weeks before the legendary character’s exit and speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, she described it as an “honour”.

“I would say it was very big, but honestly, I actually think I’m very grateful that that’s how I came in because it meant I could see how the wheels turned in the machine quite well. And also just being there for the transition of Charlie I think is such a historical moment in TV that I feel very honored to be that,” she said chatting over Zoom.

“I think for me, I like being thrown into the middle of something by nature, as a human being anyway, so having to have that kind of quick transition into everybody’s life (on the show) just felt really right for me. It was nice. It was a nice way to kind of jump into it,” she smiled.
