CASUALTY fans were all left saying the same thing when they noticed a big change during the latest episode.
The drama series follows the ups and downs of the lives of Holby City's staff and patients.
The latest instalment of the popular series aired on BBC One on Saturday night.
The episode saw senior nurse Charlie Fairhead – who is played by Derek Thompson – return to the emergency department.
Charlie came back from his sunny Greece holiday to find the ED overwhelmed and at breaking point.
However, while the medic managed to turn things around, fans' attention was drawn elsewhere.

Casualty's spin-off series Holby City was axed by the BBC earlier this year in a move that shocked fans.
Previously announcing the show's demise, the Beeb said it had taken the decision to allow for new serial dramas in the schedule that weren't based in London.
Members of the Casualty cast are said to be in constant fear the show will face a similar fate.
Casualty airs on BBC One and is available on iPlayer.
