David and Jez ( New Characters )
Casualty is about to get three brand new regular cast members to scrub up and join the medical team.
Former Emmerdale star Lloyd Everitt has been cast as paramedic Jez Andrews, who'll be Iain's new partner in crime and we'll get to meet him on March 12.
Apparently, he and Iain won't get off to the best start after his cheeky banter and lax attitude fail to impress.
Everitt said: "I feel honoured to be joining such a successful show and look forward to bringing a different essence to a programme that's synonymous with British culture and television."
Jason Durr is set to join the cast as Nurse David Hide, a shy and socially awkward man with another side to his personality that he's trying to hide.
Durr admitted: "I have to confess that I have a huge phobia of blood and needles, so I'm hoping my time at Holby hospital will help me overcome my lifelong fear!"

Lastly, a familiar face is returning in a regular part - Jaye Griffiths is reprising her role as Consultant Elle Gardner in May.
The Sherlock star said: "I was filming in Cardiff for Doctor Who last year, so it's great to be back in Wales starting a new role with the Casualty team.
"Everyone's been extremely welcoming and the storylines are really powerful."
