BBC Casualty fans were left utterly gobsmacked this week as they caught a glimpse of Charlie Fairhead, played by Derek Thompson, taking on a fresh role following his emotional exit from the long-running medical drama earlier this year. The veteran actor, who has become synonymous with his character in Casualty, made a surprise appearance in the Belfast-based series Blue Lights, causing quite the buzz among fans during its second episode.
Viewers couldn't help but express their shock and delight after witnessing Derek's character Robin Graham make a dramatic entrance towards the end of the episode. One ecstatic fan took to social media to write: "When you see Charlie from Casualty in #BlueLights," adding a meme of Leonardo DiCaprio pointing excitedly from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for effect.
Another fan shared their disbelief, posting: "It's Charlie from Casualty NOT being Charlie from Casualty #bluelights." Meanwhile, another remarked on the odd sensation of seeing the actor in a new light: "I have watched Derek Thompson as Charlie for so long that it will be strange seeing him in a different role #BlueLights," reports the Mirror. Before another chimed in: "Episode 2 of #bluelights didn't disappoint.
Marching, Dan Gordon, Charlie from Casualty and this classic." And a further viewer went on to add: "Derek Thompson aka Charlie from #Casualty is playing an absolute blinder in #BlueLights. No mean feat to be one of the most recognisable characters on TV and to switch to a brand new role and make it believable." Fans of the medical drama were completely blindsided as a familiar face made a surprise appearance on the police drama Blue Lights, just weeks after they had bid a poignant farewell to the beloved charge nurse.
