Actress Nadine Lewington is the latest name to join the Holby City lineup, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.
Nadine, 25 – who has previously appeared as Maggi in Dream Team and Abi Steel in Family Affairs – is to play Senior House Officer Maddy Young from early next year.
Maddy, whose enthusiasm speaks for itself, is good friends with Clifford (Peter Wingfield) and has saved him from trouble on a few occasions.
"Maddy's young, fun and up for a laugh while, at the same time, dedicated to her job," an insider revealed. "She's definitely not going to be single for very long, but there's a family secret she's harbouring which could just get in the way…"
Of her new role, Nadine told DS: "I've been on cloud nine since receiving that all-important phone call. My parents are surprised to suddenly have a doctor in the family but are thrilled nonetheless! I'm just really looking forward to being part of an incredible cast in such a successful show – I can't wait!"
A spokeswoman for the programme added: "We are delighted to have Nadine on board to play the part of Maddy. She's a great addition to the show and her character will be involved in some dramatic storylines."
Nadine is due to start filming later this month, with her first episode scheduled to transmit in January.
