This weekend in the double-bill of Casualty, Dr Max

Cristie discovers that he might just have one year left

to live – but what does that mean for actor Nigel

Harman and his future on the show?

After collapsing in his office, Dylan treats Max and

told him that he needed a kidney transplant.

But, is Max leaving Casualty? Will Max die after getting this devastating health news?

In the upcoming double episode on Saturday (September 2), Max finds out that he might only have one year left to live.

After a mother comes into the ED with her limp, young boy, Isaac, Max picks him up and takes him to Resus. But this uses up all of his strength and Max soon collapses in his office. He is later found by Dylan.

After Dylan treats Max in secret, he tells him some devastating news – he needs a kidney transplant.

Struggling to process that he might only have a year left to live if he doesn’t have the transplant, Max is soon stunned when his mum, Stella, turns up at the ED.

She quickly finds out that Max is ill and suggests that Jodie could be a potential donor. However, he makes it clear that Jodie mustn’t know as he doesn’t want to hurt her. But, will Max die as he dismisses the idea of Jodie being a donor?
