Doctor Who Vs. Casualty @ 40: Series 3

Geraint Morris (1941-1997) continued to produce BBC1's popular medical drama, and the majority of the regular cast remained unchanged. Joining
the programme here were Paul

Lacoux (as Dr. David Rowe),

Susan Franklyn (administrator

Valerie Sinclair), Julie Graham,

Shaheen Khan (student nurses

Alison McGrellis and Kiran Joghill),

and Carol Leader (receptionist

 Sandie Timkins).

With the exception of Franklyn,
all of the incoming actors left this

run at its conclusion. Bernard Gallagher chose to leave the show, so his

character Ewart Plimmer was killed off in Burn Out. Ella Wilder (para-

medic Shirley Franklin) and Christopher Rozycki (porter Kuba Trzcinski)

both departed in the finale. The third season (now with a reduced run

of ten episodes and originally broadcast from September to November

1988) featured Caroline John, Mark Strickson, and a total of thirty
