Casualty Scripts and Interview

Ever wondered about the process of writing for Casualty works?

Wonder no more, for script producer Bianca Rodway talks us through the process.

Not only that, but we've got two scripts from the last series for your delight and education.

A House Divided by Daisy Coulam is the one in which a meth addict causes a house to fall on top of himself and his family, and in which Toby has a dreadful time. It's an excellent example of a "standard" Casualty episode - notice how the theme echoes between the guest stories and the regulars.

Sex and Death was written by lead writer Mark Catley. This one's a format-breaker in which we flash back through Ruth's life at Holby City, and see the reasons why she was driven to try to take her own life.
