The revolving doors of Holby City Hospital never stop turning and 2025 is another busy year for cast and character entrances and exits.
Here’s our guide to all the exciting new arrivals, shocking exits and surprise appearances taking place in BBC1’s medical drama in the new year.
We’ve divided this Casualty 2025 Who’s Who into five parts: New Arrivals, Leavers, Returning, Special Guests and Rumoured.
The first new arrival of 2025 technically makes her debut in 2024, but as it’s in the final episode of the year we feel it’s fair enough to include her here.
From the off-set Indie Jankowski (Naomi Wakszlak) makes a strong impression on paramedic boss Jan Jenning (Di Botcher) – both good and bad. She’s talented, top of her class and confident. However, this confidence veers into cocky arrogance which belies her on-the-job experience.
Indie Jankowski is played by Naomi Wakszlak, whose other credits include Back, Above the Clouds, Pennyworth and Doctors.
First appearance: Off Duty, Saturday 28 December 2024.
Sean Redmond — played by Seth Somers
Surgeon Sean Redmond isn’t backwards when it comes to stating what he wants – something that doctor Rash Masum learns from the get-go when he and the newcomer literally collide in Holby ED. With neither of them looking where they’re going, Sean (Seth Somers) demands Rash (Neet Mohan) replace his broken phone. Then things get even more awkward when Rash’s cousin doctor Tariq Hussein (Manpret Bachu) reveals Sean is his new housemate.
Something tells us that Sean is going to be a major headache for Rash!
At the time of writing, all Casualty regulars seem to be here to stay – although things were looking pretty hairy for Iain Dean in the Christmas Special!
The daring paramedic has more lives than a cattery, but will he finally run out of luck in the year ahead? We hope not, but only time will tell…
Aaron is taking his heavily pregnant wife Thea to hospital when his car careers into the restaurant where Dylan (William Beck) and Jodie (Anna Chell) are having dinner. The medics are faced with the choice of whether or not to perform emergency surgery in less than ideal conditions at the scene, and afterwards Aaron has questions…
Jack Wilkinson’s credits include Holby City, The Doll Maker, This is Going to Hurt and Biff & Chip.
First appearance: On Trial, Saturday 4 January 2025.
Ravin J. Ganatra as Kareem Hussein
Ravin J. Ganatra makes his first appearance as Tariq Hussein’s father Kareem when he’s brought into Holby ED after a fall.
Kareem makes a point in asking for his nephew Rash (Neet Mohan) but not Tariq (Manpreet Bachu) and orders his nephew to keep a serious medical secret from his son.
Ravin J. Ganatra’s credits include Prime Suspect, Coronation Street, Doctor Who and This England. He also had a previous guest role on Casualty in 1996 episode Waterwings.
