Derek Thompson has announced he will be leaving Casualty after 37 years playing Charlie Fairhead on the popular BBC medical soap – making him the longest-serving cast member
Derek Thompson, Casualty's longest-serving cast member, has announced that he will be departing the BBC show after 37 years, the BBC has said.
Nurse Charlie has played a key role in a number of the show's storylines and will be departing in a gripping exit storyline later this year. He said: "Derek and I would often joke that, after such a long and dramatic career in the NHS, there was almost nothing that Charlie hadn’t seen. So it was an amazing surprise to me when Derek arrived with a brilliant idea for Charlie’s exit as part of an upcoming storyline, which was too good to pass up.
