As this is a one-off flashback episode we probably won’t be seeing Laurie beyond this episode, but her appearance has already got her fans excited with a poster on Reddit saying, ‘Guess who I found making a guest appearance on Casualty!’.
Casualty fans do double take as EastEnders legend rocks up in show Former EastEnders and Waterloo Road star Laurie Brett is about to appear on Casualty – in quite a different role to anything we’ve seen her in before.
It’s not Laurie’s first appearance in Holby ED as she played a character called Gail Donham for one episode in 2021.
Between 2012 and 2015 Laurie also appeared in the original Waterloo Road – in one of the series that was set in Scotland when the school relocated – as head teacher Christine Mulgrew.
Speaking in Laurie’s own Scottish accent, the character of Christine was chaotic as she struggled to deal with her own alcohol dependence as well as the problems of running the school and dealing with her family.
