CASUALTY is set for a major schedule shake-up due to a sports fixture.

The long-running BBC medical drama typically airs new episodes on Saturday evenings on BBC One.

However, viewers looking to get their Casualty fix on June 15 will be slightly disrupted due to a major football match.

The Saturday evening slot on BBC One will instead be occupied by the Italy vs Albania match in Euro 2024.

As a result, this change-up will see Casualty air on BBC Two instead.

Fans of Casualty have been watching a wide range of dramatic storylines play out in recent weeks.

This includes paramedic Teddy Gowan (Milo Clarke) becoming the victim of a sexual assault.

The traumatic incident took place while Teddy was on duty, after he and colleague Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) were called to a hen party.

Spoilers have revealed Teddy will be taken aback in upcoming scenes when the woman who assaulted him comes to the hospital, looking to make amends.

However, she soon starts playing down what happened and complains her life has been ruined after being charged with assaulting an emergency worker.

Another ongoing plot thread is the whistleblower storyline, which began after a documentary revealed failings in the ED.

Shockingly, a staff member anonymously contributed to the documentary, leaving both fans and hospital bosses desperate to uncover their identity.

Although Rash (Neet Mohan) was under scrutiny by Patrick (Jamie Glover), he turned out not to be the whistleblower.

The actual culprit was revealed as Rida (Sarah Seggari), last month.

Further spoilers for upcoming episodes reveal that Rida, having noticed Rash’s change in demeanour, will reveal the truth to him.

With a guilty conscience, Rida intends to confess to Siobhan (Melanie Hill), too.

Before she can do so, Rash goes to Patrick first and takes the blame for being the whistleblower.

Having resigned with immediate effect, this leads to Rash being escorted out by security.

That being said, a further twist may allow Rash to return to the hospital sooner rather than later…

Casualty also airs on BBC iPlayer.
