Casualty has confirmed a Coronation Street icon will be joining

the show whilst a big exit for the BBC medical drama is also on the way.

Whilst Casualty’s producer Jon Sen will be stepping down from

working on the soap, a new arrival is preparing to make their way to the E.D.

Melanie Hill is ready to delve right into the dramatic world of

Holby as she takes on a new role in the show.

Taking to X, Casualty’s producer Jon Sen has revealed that he is due to leave his role at the BBC medical drama.

He will step down from his position later in the year although he is yet to reveal the exact date this will be.

On his own X account, Jon wrote: “With a heavy heart, I’m leaving @BBCCasualty later this year. It’s been amazing & have loved every minute working with creative minds and superb talent. But new horizons beckon. Thanks for the wonderful support we have received over the past two years.”

As Jon looks for ‘new horizons’ and bows out of the show a new member of the Casualty team is about to be welcomed in.
