Seeing as I cant post on the other thread as it has been archived I just want to say the acting from the characters in tonight's episode was superb. The storyline certainly had me in watery eyes something very rare when it comes to TV. Casualty is such a good show I just wish it could get more recognition.
I caught the last 5 minutes (only tuned in for John Bishop) and I haven't watched Casualty since the mid 90s but the women who died at the end, did she used to be in Casualty?
Yes it was, but such a shame that the closing credits were spoiled by a voiceover about an information line which could easily have been left until afterwards, in place of the trailer for a comedy programme!

It completely ruined the mood.
I thought the closing credits were spoilt with the dominance of the casualty theme. The piano build up was perfect, and in my opinion should have been the closing theme for the episode. If they could not do that then they should have just faded to a black screen with the credits scrolling in silence. I know that it can be debated that people die in casualty all of the time and why should this death be any different? My opinion is that the tone of the episode was far more moving than most.
I have to say well done BBC for handling the topic in a fantastic way yet again. Euthanasia is a huge relavant public debate, and whenever the BBC handle it, it is always very moveing and sensitive, showing it from both sides.

It was an excellent episode, very well handled. The BBC do seem to do this topic very well - I recall the death of Gina (Elliot's wife) in Holby very moving too.
