Casualty fans will have a bit longer to wait before the next episode, as the BBC medical drama won’t be on air next week

There’s a simple explanation for this: next week the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be broadcast on BBC One, with UK viewers rooting for girl group Remember Monday to get ‘douze points’ in Basel, Switzerland.

As a result, Casualty won’t be airing in its usual Saturday night slot and also won’t be released early on BBC iPlayer.

In this series, Rida was sexually assaulted by surgeon Russell while at work and has been torn as to whether to report her colleague’s misconduct.

This week, Rida made the bold decision to make public an online group which exposed the inappropriate behaviour of surgeons nationwide.

When Russell gathered all the women on the surgical team to talk about the list, Nicole spoke up, but Rida surprisingly shut her down – which impressed Russell.

However, Rida later told Nicole that she was trying to get on Russell’s good side, and this was all part of a plan to take him down and get justice. What will Rida’s next move be?

Elsewhere, paramedic Indie’s dad Samuel came back into the picture this week when he was released from prison, and he immediately got back in touch with his daughter.
