Casualty fans reel as character returns to BBC show 'too soon'
During Saturday's instalment of Casualty, viewers saw Stevie Nash return to the BBC drama after taking time off for her chemotherapy treatment
Emotions were at an all time high in the most recent instalment of Casualty as Stevie Nash (played by Elinor Lawless) came back to work after her cancer treatment.
Although the medics advised her to take more time to rest, Stevie insisted on being ready to get stuck into work again. However, when the ED is flooded with overdose patients whose drugs were laced, she's rushed off of her feet.
Despite newcomer Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) informing Stevie he'd be with her on the shift, he quickly disappears to deal with other emergencies.
It wasn't long before viewers were saying the same thing, with many thinking it wasn't the right time for her to be back.
One person said: "Sorry, Stevie. I don't think you're ready at all #Casualty" Another added: "Stevie being thrown into the deep end on Day 1 #Casualty."

In agreement, another shared: "Stevie really hasn't been supported back to work at all #casualty" One fan commented: "Poor Stevie. Much too soon to come back to work."
Another said: "My heart breaks for Stevie #casualty" While someone else commented: "Tonight's episode is stressful."
BBC viewers saw Stevie return to the drama on Saturday night
During the programme, fans saw Stevie confront Flynn for leaving her alone during her first shift back, although he insisted she was capable and he had eyes on her to ensure she was on.
As the show unfolded it transpires the pair know each other from their younger years. Although it seems as though they have a long-standing friendship, when Flynn made a move on her, she's less than impressed and quickly shuts him down.
The fan-favourite was quick to shut down Flynn when he attempted to kiss her
The actress spoke about her anticipated return to the BBC show and how Stevie felt about that kiss with Flynn. Elinor told What to Watch: "I know, it's like, 'dude, read the room and smell the chlorine!' Stevie is very much, 'What are you doing?!' She has seen him do this [in the past] to other women but out of pride she never went there.
"It's a moment where she takes charge and tells him to back off! It's been great working with Olly to find the key to our characters' friendship."

Woman's Hour Weekend Woman's Hour: SEND, Christiane Amanpour, Self Esteem, Return of the bullet bra
The Department for Education has just released the latest figures that show another rise in the number of Education, Health and Care Plans, or EHCPs, in England. These are the legal documents that outline what support a child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities is entitled to. The BBC's education reporter Kate McGough, Jane Harris, vice chair of the Disabled Children's Partnership, and Jacquie Russell from West Sussex County Council joined Clare McDonnell. Christiane Amanpour has been at the forefront of international news for more than 40 years, reporting from all over the world as a journalist and war reporter as well as being CNN's Chief International Anchor, steering the helm of several programmes including CNN International's nightly interview programme Amanpour. She's now launched a podcast, Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex-Files with Jamie Rubin. It's a weekly foreign affairs show, co-hosted with Jamie, a former U.S. diplomat and Assistant Secretary of State and also her ex-husband. Christiane joined Clare to discuss. The musician, songwriter and actress, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem won the 2021 BBC Music Introducing Artist of the Year Award and achieved a nomination for the Mercury Prize in 2022 with Prioritise Pleasure. More recently she has performed the lead role of Sally Bowles in the West End production of Cabaret. She talks to Anita Rani about her new album, A Complicated Woman, and performing on the Park Stage at Glastonbury this weekend. The bullet bra has made a recent return to the catwalk and to the cover of British Vogue, where singer Dua Lipa can be seen sporting a blush satin Miu Miu creation in the July issue. But will the silhouette, once favoured by Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, cut through to the high street? And what does that mean for the comfortable t-shirt bras that have been going strong since lockdown? Julia Hobbs, British Vogue's contributing senior fashion features editor has recently road-tested the bullet bra. She joins Clare to discuss the experience, along with Karolina Laskowska, a lingerie designer and the director of The Underpinnings Museum.
