cool about having Casualty, i love having it in between SCD parts. apart from the current racial abuse storyline I was so suprised when Abs ignored the fight going on at the end..but have since read that he actually doesnt realise that it involved Guppy. Sorry to go off topic  |

just because i'm mad, this is the longest thread on the board at 11 pages and 102 (as of this post) replies. and just to keep on SCD topic, one of the dancers (celebs) has been branded a cheat  |

cool about having Casualty, i love having it in between SCD parts. apart from the current racial abuse storyline i don't think it's cool. it's all blood and dying people. the reason i like docs is that nobody ever (well, hardly- if we ignore phil and jack) dies there. and i really don't think hospital dramas should be on prime time- if i, as an adult, find it too offensive and hard to watch, i'm sure younger people than me will suffer nightmares. i know i would. kat, saying you are not a tough brit teen- how can you tolarate it? about the racial abuse- it is horrible. i saw it last week when i was still in ireland. are you telling me it went on this week? it's awful! i know this issue is very very important, but it is so hard to watch! |

i know people die in Casualty and Holby but i tend to ignore that side of it, remembering they're actors (the blinkin person helped with that). and as for the blood well, its red liquid made by/for the props department. the only times when Casualty or Holby will really get to me is when a baby or young child dies. the episode, a few weeks ago when the little girl fell in the freezer had me near tears.
Casualty has given me nightmares only once, and that was the beginning credits to series 14 or 15 (i was 8 or 9), the flying glass scared the heck out of me.
i'm not a tough brit teen, i cry at relitvely anything. i just remember that everything in these shows is fake (although the scene i mentioned above it was hard to do that). theres a scene in one tv show that i can't watch for anything and that is because an actress dying of cancer, trips over and it wasn't scirpted. bad editing was used to try and cover over it but its still so obvious how hard she went down.
and Doctors can be almost as gruesome as Casualty or Holby. the episode were David + Carolina died for instance. i can't think of any blood and gore ones at the minute but will try.
yes the storyline in Casualty was this week (and the week before and will run for the next few weeks) saw indian character Guppy (he rules and the actor will be on CIN friday) being racial abused by two men. the men first appeared one or two weeks ago when they threw fireworks in to an indian man's home, one of the men was stabbed and had to go to the Casualty department where there doctor was Guppy. they refused to allow Guppy to treat them. eventually the two men got thrown out of the hospital. the two men appeared again in saturday (12th nov) episode where they beat up Guppy in broad daylight. Abs heard them beating someone up but walked away. yes it is an important issue and hard to watch but it brings home the message of how wrong and awful it is.
wow this post is long, boy can i rabbit on.

i understand what you say but i somehow find it very hard to persuade myself it's all actors and red liquid...
i agree david and carolina's death was horrible, but again- it's the main characters and it's about their private lives and not the patients. i find it hard to think that doctors are not miracle-makers and that people actually die while at care... i think that's why i prefer docs. in a local practice there won't be any too serious cases and if there are - they get sent to st. phill's and we see them only after all the tubes and wires are already in them and they are back conscious.
as for kids and babies...not a very popular approach, i know, but i couldn't care less so despite the fact i don't like watching people suffering in general - i don't find it particularily hard to watch. the opposite- i keep wishing they'll finally die so their hysterical mothers will finally shut up and there'll be some quite on the screen....
just one off the point question: what's abs?

Abs is a character, i have no idea why he's called Abs but never mind. not sure what Abs actually are.
and on the St phils thing - did Nathan still have tubes in when he was in hospital after the fire?

you miss my point- regular characters are something else, and we're used to seeing them suffer....
nathan wasn't a patient (and as far as i remember we saw him with all the tubes right from the point the emergency forces took him out of the building- so we didn't see the intubation or his resuscitation)

true regular characters suffer but i can be just as sad when they do (poor Tasha miscarrying). just remembered something in the episode over here the other day, Jimmi was in a house with a patient who dropped dead.  |
