Peter O'Brien joins Casualty
Monday, February 5, 2007

holby.tv can announce that actor Peter O'Brien will be joining the cast of CASUALTY this Spring, playing the role of 'Stitch'

Publicity revealed 'Stitch is CASUALTY's new Consultant - a sexy maverick bad boy who is the antithesis of good old reliable Harry. He'll make huge waves in the department breaking hearts and rules alike and is set to lead Guppy down a dark and dangerous path.'

We first meet Stitch not in a hospital but in a casino. When chance leads to an accident this high rolling risk taker reveals his medical skill and impresses Nathan who is there with his bosses from the Trust. Desperate for a new consultant, Nathan hires Stitch as soon as he can. But has he moved too fast? For Stitch has secrets and in time Nathan may come to regret his choice. Love him or hate him Stitch is a force to be reckoned with and he's going shake Holby City to it's very foundations!'

Australian-born Peter whose previous television roles include Neighbours, Queer as Folk, The Bill, The Flying Doctors, The Knock and Blue Heelers told holby.tv 'I have heard nothing but good things about CASUALTY and it having such a loyal following. The quality and challenging aspects of the part made it very appealing for me. You don't often get the opportunity to play a character who is so unrestrained. I'm really looking forward to my time on the show and seeing how my character ruffles a few duvets on the wards!'

Peter's first episode airs on 24th March.

Another aussie to join the ranks, following in Kips footsteps. I recognise the name, but cant remember where from. I like the sound of a new consultant though.

Ok since we are wondering what his secrets may be.. Lets all take a guess and see if we are right ??

I think he has done a bunch of maverick operations like ABRA( on Holby) did like putting in a Pigs kidney in a human..only this guy has killed off alot of his patients ??? :searchme: :hmm:

or
He may have a few wives on different contients and they all show up the same time with kids in tow :lol: :lol: :rotfl:

I think something like taking organs from the dead and using as transplants without family concent. either that or helping cancer sufferes die by giving them high doseages of morphin.
