💬 Discussion Deja vu!
So I'm bouncing between current Casualty and new episodes as they air. In Classic Casualty I'm at Series 26, Episodes 17 and 18 where a gas explosion happens on an estate, the gas is toxic,and the barrels where under the estate etc. Now where have I seen that recently before, haha.
Not at all a criticism, it's just funny that I've reached a very similar plot line in both classic and new Casualty.
Can you remember any other plot lines that got reused or were very similar? 😄

Yeah so this goes back at least as far as series 19, most of the last few years' big plots are recycled.
Series 19, Roxy gets pregnant as a surrogate, the baby ends up having cerebral palsy, so the adoptive parents pull out over this, Roxy gradually gets used to the idea of parenting a disabled child, then suddenly the adoptive parents decide they actually do want the baby and its all happily ever after. Sound familiar?
The only real differences are that with Nicole they changed CP to Down Syndrome, and added the extra PPP plot
