Good news for Casualty fans – Alicia Monroe will be staying on our screens for the foreseeable.
Following Chelsea Halfpenny's brief stint on the show late last year, Alicia's returning to the ED this weekend as a locum doctor – and the ex-Emmerdale star's confirmed she's back permanently.
Her comeback coincides with the show's 30th anniversary episodes, which are kicking off on Saturday and resuming with a feature-length special at the end of August.
"I'm so excited and humbled for my character to have been brought back into Casualty as a regular cast member", Chelsea told The Sun.
"It's such a key moment in the show's history that I feel honoured to make my return in the final episode of the series.
"There are really interesting storylines coming up for Alicia, so watch this space!"
And Alicia can expect a challenge when she bumps into Lily Chao – the doctor who bullied her out of the hospital last year.
After failing to overcome her differences with Lily, Alicia was forced to resign – but when the pair will be thrown back together when they are put on the same case.
Casualty airs Alicia's return in the series finale on Saturday, July 30 at 9.25pm on BBC One.
