View Full Version : Selena's end!!!
Got this from the Sun online
CASUALTY fans should brace themselves for the worst when Selena Donovan meets a violent end in an upcoming episode.
The pregnant doctor - played by Liz Carling - dies during a tragic confrontation with an armed man.
As she lays dying, Selena's unborn baby is delivered by her former lover Harry.
A Casualty spokeswoman would confirm only that the episode - due to screen in several weeks' time - was "incredibly dramatic".
Liz joined the Casualty cast as Selena in 2003 and has seen her character survive a failed marriage - to Will, a kidnap attempt, a bout of MRSA and a stabbing at the hands of drug traffickers.
Recently she broke off her engagement to Nathan after discovering he had slept with prostitutes. She later discovered she was pregnant with his child.

Well if this turns out to be true, then i was right about her not having had the baby aborted. But i hope she doesn't die, as i quite like her character. But good to see Harry is back

It's on the Holby Tv website too.
The Sun has revealed that CASUALTY's Liz Carling is to leave the show.
Liz made her first short stint on the show in March 2003, before joining as a regular at the beginning of Series 19. Her dramatic exit will mark the end of the current series due to be screened at the end of July.
Her character has had a number of storylines during her time on the show including a failed marriage to Will Manning, a stabbing at the hands of drug traffickers and an MRSA diagnosis. More recently, Selena broke off her engagement to manager Nathan after learning he had slept with prostitutes and claimed to have aborted his baby.
Her exit storyline which has been said to be 'incredibly dramatic' involves the return of her former lover Harry Harper, who previously left his post as Consultant to become an MP.
Liz Carling's departure is one of a number of cast exits to be hitting the show this year.

I didnt think Selena had got rid of her baby, as in the ep when the teenager had a baby (the one charity from emmerdale was in) at the end it showed Selena crying and she was holding her stomach, and when she had suposedly had it nathan was their as she came out and it looked like she wanted to tell him someting but he just started shouting at her and wouldnt let her get a word in.
I dont want her to leave though, as she is one of the only good ones in the show at the mo, and i dont want ben to leave either, and peter isnt in it for much longer either, theirs gonna be no one god left

I thought the opposite to you, I thought she was crying for what she lost.
We've got Harry!! Harry is simply the best :thumbsup:
So does this mean that we will be getting a new doctor? Stitch is leaving and Harry is coming back to his old role so that should leave a gap.

yh, i forgt poor harry, cos hes not been in it for an age
hopefully their will be a new doc, I dont want stitch to go though as i like him :(
Oh Dear:( I Was Hoping It Wasn't True. She Is One Of The Best Actresses In The Show And I Will Be Sorry To See Her Go. Harry Delivering Her Baby Sounds Intresting. I Thought She Had The Abortion But Obviously Not. Is The Baby Not Due For Another Few Months Yet?:confused:

Is The Baby Not Due For Another Few Months Yet?:confused:
Thats what I thought, as it says it is due to be screened in several weeks, but I think its more likely to be near the end of the year or when the series finishes which is usually about september

If it is due to come on our screens in a while then would that not make it really premature which if it is reli premature then it wouldn't survive would it?

it wouldnt even be 15 weeks i dont think if its meant to be on our screens soon. I think maybe its being filmed in a few weeks

the series usually has a few weeks break towards the end of august and begining of september but not at the end of the year, so are we to believe this happens in a month or so's time?
Her dramatic exit will mark the end of the current series due to be screened at the end of July.
So she's leaving at the end of this month. This is when we found out she was pregnant http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=63476 (7th April). So by my reckoning she would be no more than 20weeks if we take it that she was a few weeks gone when we found out. Which doesn't make sense because the baby won't survive that early.

Ooo that means that she didn't have an abortion....:confused:
Maybe it's Harry's? Then it might survive...I think the earliest is 22 weeks...:confused: She was 12 weeks when we found out...
That's still sad though :( I like Selena :( Good Harry's coming back though :)
24 weeks is generally classed as from when a pregnancy is possibly viable, but in reality, there are many babies that would not survive being born this early, and later in pregnancy. Their lungs aren't developed enough and they'd require a lot of specialist care, and sometimes even then, its not enough.
The law states that if a child dies before 24 weeks gestation then its regarded as a non viable foetus. The death does not even have to be registered. I do believe very occasionally a child born at 24 weeks has survived but this is rare.
You're right Alan - the chances of a foetus surviving if born at 24 wks is very rare, but with medical science has happened. However, foetus' born prior to 24 wks is classed as a miscarriage and no birth and death is registered, whereas post 24 wks, both the birth and the death must then be registered.

Perhaps the baby is Harry's after all? Maybe Maggie got it wrong somehow....hmmm...maybe we shouldn't trust the Sun :p :rolleyes:

No it should be Maggie and Charlie, even though i can see a little spark between Maggie and Stitich it would never work.
I cant believe shes leaving. Thats so unfair! I hated her character when her and Nathan first got together but i love her again now! Its so unfair :crying:
Least we still have harry :thumbsup:

I hope Selena and Harry manage to sort out what happened when he left and maybe get together...if only for a minute :rolleyes: Otherwise it will be like Harry and Ellen all over again! :(

However, foetus' born prior to 24 wks is classed as a miscarriage and no birth and death is registered, whereas post 24 wks, both the birth and the death must then be registered.Very rare indeed but try explaining that to parents who want to arrange a funeral for a child who doesnt get beyond the 24 weeks. It heart rending. But with the advances in medical science who knows. Years ago under 30 weeks was a miracle.

So can the foetus still be buried even if the death hasn't been registered?

Although, it's wierd she's around 5 months pregnant and doesn't have a bump yet....:searchme:

Not really Katie every woman is different some look like the are carry a baby elephant while others can have a very small bump. When I was pregnant I only started to show around 5 months, even at full term I only looked about 5 months pregnant but I had a huge backside as the way my daughter was lying she was at the back of the womb.

From Daily Mirror:
DOC GETS THE BULLET
Nicola Methven 16/07/2007
CALLING all Casualty fans - steel yourselves! Selena is going to be spectacularly killed off next month.
The pregnant doc, played by Liz Carling, is shot dead after a gun-wielding maniac goes on the rampage in the emergency department.
However, miraculously, her unborn baby is saved.
A show source says: "Liz steps in to calm things down when her lover Harry is being threatened by the angry attacker. But it all goes horribly wrong and she ends up being fatally wounded. Although Harry and Stitch race to save her life, they lose her.
"In heartbreaking scenes Harry manages to deliver the very premature baby, whose father is Selena's ex-boyfriend Nathan. But all the while he knows that he's lost the woman he could have built a future with. Stitch is so devastated he resigns - it's all terribly sad."
Liz is bowing out after four years on the wards. A nation blubs

I suppose when one of your fellow collegues who you have worked closely with dies like that then it upsets everybody.
