Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) has done a long interview with today's Daily Record newspaper in which she talks about filming scenes in Blackpool in freezing January. Jane was following in Georgia's footsteps as she also filmed in Blackpool in January for Viva Blackpool 4 years ago.

With FA Cup fever sweeping the country this weekend (and Bolton beating West Ham) there's a nice photograph of the cast of Mark Letheren's new play on the Bolton Octagon blog. Mark has his hand on a replica of the 1923 FA Cup that will be used during the play, And Did Those Feet, which opens this Thursday, 11th March.

The BBC website now has its detailed episode summary (spoilers) of next Saturday's Casualty episode, English Beauty.

Having been away for a week I've produced a summary of this week's news;

• Casualty has been nominated for the Best Soap/Continuing Drama award at this this year's Royal Television Society (RTS) ceremony. Casualty is up against Eastenders and The Bill in the event taking place at London's Grosvenor House on Tues March 16.
  
  
• Casualty actors will be appearing on BBC1's Blue Peter show, next Wednesday, 10th March (16:35 - 17:00) when presenter, Joel Defries, recreates a scene with some of it's stars.
  
  
• There is no Casualty episode being show on Saturday 20th March due to the finale of the Rugby Six Nations tournament. This should have been the night episode, Boys Don't Cry (spoilers), was shown.

The Casualty Fans Facebook group has added another lovely, behind the scenes, photograph of Georgia, this time with Sam Grey (Alice). I think Georgia's long, curly hair dates the photograph to the beginning of Series 23 (Sept 08) - when Nick Jordan said "I like your hair by the way".

Thanks for all who voted in the "Which of her colleagues will Ruth find herself in an impossible, career versus truth, situation with?" poll. Jay was the overwhelming selection with 70 per cent of the votes (full results can be seen here).  

The new poll concerns the identify of Jay's Valentine card admirer.

Leanne and Peter's wedding might be the centrepiece of Corrie's 50th anniversary celebrations at the end of this year. This would give great potential for a guest appearance return for Toyah. Georgia starred in the special live episode back in December 2000 for the 40th anniversary.

It was nice to see Scott Wright, Toyah's long term boyfriend Sam in Corrie, be involved in Georgia's storyline tonight. Sam left Corrie back in 2002 with a broken arm and 8 years later he's having a boil lanced by Dr Winters!

I have a suspicion that Georgia is having her birthday party this evening. Georgia's fellow Wigan Willpower Youth Theatre and Corrie actor, Philip McGinley (Liam's cousin Tom in Corrie), has tweeted today about attending a party tonight where there'll be lots of actresses!

The BBC Casualty website now has a detailed episode summary for next Saturday's episode, Angel (spoilers).

Many happy returns to Georgia who celebrates her birthday today!

Ruth features in the BBC Programme Info spoilers for the episode of Casualty showing on the 13th March, English Beauty.

Georgia's birthday is only 5 days away, this Friday 26th February. Still time to send a card to;

• Georgia Taylor
• BBC Bristol,
• PO Box 2183,

Another quiet episode for Georgia but at least Ruth had several small scenes. Although they didn't have any real dialogue together it was strange to see Georgia in scenes with Jack Deam, who played Phil Simmonds in Coronation Street.

According to a thread on holby.tv Georgia, and other Casualty stars, appeared in this evening's Eastenders Live: the Aftermath. This show is repeated tonight on BBC3 between 23:00 and 00:00.

Thanks for all the votes in the poll as to whether you would prefer to see more of Ruth running or Jay playing football. After a neck and neck start Ruth pulled away and won the poll by a margin of 10 votes (full results can be seen here).  

To celebrate the victory I've produced a 3 minute video homage to Ruth's lycra track suited moments from the past 3 series. To download right click the image above and "Save Target/Link As" (DivX 19MB). 

The new poll concerns the recent Ruth related March mini-spoiler.

Tristan (twitter.com/TristanGemmill) tweeted today that "Georgia and Ben are fantastic actors and great 2 work with"!

The What's On TV website has a longer version (spoilers) of Georgia's magazine interview about tomorrow's May Phelps storyline.

The Casualty lot in the bottom right corner.	Gillian and Tristan being filmed for the classic "look of disappointment".	Tristan chatting to guests during an advert break.

The Casualty cast where seated immediately behind the BB people as they were last time and were having chats with self proclaimed Casualty fan, Davina. 

Ben Turner must have a way with woman as he was seated between Sunetra and Sophia and when, they both went out for a comfort break, two other attractive women came and sat beside him. Not sure what was going on there?

The O2 isn't as intimate as the Royal Albert Hall and there seemed more emphasis on extracting cash from the public such as charging £5 for an 8 page programme rather than it being free. The O2 is also very cold in winter!

Unfortunately Georgia wasn't one of the Casualty representatives at tonight's National Television Awards held at the O2 Arena. The Casualty crew consisted of Gillian, Tristan, Sunetra, Ben and Sophia. I'll add some photographs soon if any turn out!

Casualty will start production in the summer of 2011 at BBC's new Cardiff Bay drama village according to a Press Association release today. Construction on the new village will begin in the 'coming months'.

I recently came across this very early photograph (circa June 1997) of the fledgling Battersbys - Georgia, Jane and Vicky, taken outside what appears to be Granada Studios. They all look amazingly young and Georgia and Jane are both wearing some interesting footwear!

Very little of Ruth in tonight's Casualty and what there was in black and white! Another former Corrie colleague of Georgia's made an appearance as the social worker in Jessica's flashback - Rebecca Sarker who played Vik's sister, Nita Desai.

Ruth does appear in BBC Casualty website video preview for next week's episode, Last Roll Of The Dice, and there's also this curious spoiler for that episode on DigiGuide, < Ruth and Jeff come to blows > !

According to Tristan's Twitter page he will be appearing as a guest on next weekend's Saturday Kitchen and he's asking for ideas for food hell/heaven.

Athlete Colin Jackson's family are appearing in tonight's All Star Family Fortunes on ITV1 @ 19:15. Colin is Suzanne Packer (Tess in Casualty)'s brother so hopefully we might see Suzanne! Not quite as challenging as Tristan's Mastermind!

Ruth looked amazing again in last tonight's Casualty in her wedding outfit and with the frizzy hairdo. It was nice to see her and Jay getting along for awhile at least and very funny to see Ruth attempt to avoid Jessica's bouquet. It was a very sad ending to the episode which brought back the sadness of Ruth's suicide attempt as the same piece of music was played, Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Part.

Many thanks to all who voted for their favourite Georgia photo shoot. All the shoots were gorgeous but the overall winner with 46% of the votes was the patterned dress and black tights in the Casualty setting. The full result can be seen here.

Some great scenes in tonight's Casualty involving Ruth's brother who seems not too bad after all.

13th October - Spoilers Galore!

The official BBC Casualty website has gone overboard today by giving the episode titles and short spoilers for every single Casualty episode up until Boxing Boy. It even gives some storyline hints for the New Year. If you want to look they can be found here.

Georgia did appear in the same frame as her one time namesake, Toyah, in last night's Casualty although they didn't have any dialogue together.

Georgia wasn't part of the Casualty cast that attended last night's Inside Soap Awards bash in London. Abdul Salis (Curtis), Tony Marshall (Noel), Sam Grey (Alice), Sophia Di Martino (Polly), Sunetra Sarker (Zoe), Suzanne Packer (Tess) and Charles Dale (Big Mac) all attended.

Having lost to The Bill for Best Continuing Drama at this year's BAFTAs, Casualty again lost out to them for tonight's Inside Soap Award for Best Drama.

Even though last night's Casualty scene involving Ruth was a flashback to Episode 2 there were a couple of seconds shot from a different angle through the Resus door. As such I've done some new captures!

The BBC spoilers for the episode of Casualty to be shown on 10 October, Comfort Zone, are now out. Its another big week for Ruth with Georgia headlining the cast list.
 
Bizarrely Georgia appears in scenes with Toyah Willcox whom Toyah on Corrie was named after. In a interview from 2007 Georgia replied to a question if she'd ever met her famous namesake with "No! Do you think she even knows who I am?" I'm sure the two of them must have had a conversation about their connection during filming!

Casualty has been short listed for the Inside Soap Award for Best Drama alongside The Bill, Holby City and Doctors. The awards take place next Monday (28th September) at the Sketch night club in London's West End.

The cable channel Watch is currently repeating Series 22 of Casualty (Ruth's first series) at 7.a.m, one episode each weekday. They've already shown the first 13 episodes with Episode 14, Inheritance, on tomorrow morning.

The Radio Times magazine cast list for this Saturday's Casualty confirms that Georgia isn't appearing :(.

Ruth's scrubs seem to have turned a bluey green for this series perhaps to distinguish her from the more junior doctors. Georgia was also photographed by Casualty fans in July wearing said scrubs and back to black hair on a new Casualty Facebook page.

A small spoiler from the Sun's TV Mag's "Also This Week" - ( May sees Ruth sharing a kiss with Jay).

Jane Danson, Corrie's Leanne Battersby and one of Georgia's closest friends, is appearing on tomorrow's Loose Women show.

After a week's break Ruth returns in the starring role according to this week's BBC spoilers for the Casualty episode to be shown on the 3rd October, Not Forgotten.

Georgia isn't in the locate.tv website full cast list (spoilers) for the Casualty episode to be shown on 26th September, Sunset Syndrome.

Next week's preview shows Ruth back to her normal get up of green scrubs and trainers after the opening week's suit and stilettos.

The Ruth/Jay romance was voted the favourite Ruth storyline of Series 23 with a massive 84% of all votes. Thanks to all who voted! The new poll relates to the new F2s. 

Lovely to see Ruth return with such a great entrance! Also nice to see her out of scrubs and dressed smartly even with the Toxic Hazard sticker! I like the lighter hair too and hopefully she'll lighten up on the new F2s before long as she's a bit strict and scary at the moment.

holby.tv has a new and exclusive interview with Casualty Series Producer, Oliver Kent. In the interview he answers questions from viewers submitted via the holby.tv community boards.

There's also a new interview with Ben Turner (Jay) who talks about his character's relationship with Ruth!

The BBC spoilers for the Casualty episode to be shown on the 26th September, Sunset Syndrome, are now out.

Ahead of the new Casualty series, holby.tv, has a brand new interview with Sunetra Sarker who plays Dr Zoe Hanna.

The locate.tv website carries this spoiler - May falls foul of Ruth - about Ruth for 19th September episode of Casualty, And Then There Were Three.

Congratulations to Georgia for making the long nomination list in the NTAs Drama Performance category. Georgia is up against fellow Casualty star Micheal French (Nick Jordan) in this category. Ben Turner (Jay) is nominated for Best Newcomer, the category in which Georgia made the final four at last year's awards, and Casualty is also nominated for Best Drama. Voting can be performed online (up to 30th Sept) here, for the event that takes place at the O2 Arena on Wednesday Jan 20th 2010. Tickets are still available priced £20 from ticketmaster.

On the subject of awards, tonight sees the TV Quick/TV Choice Awards at the Dorchester Hotel. Although Casualty is not up for an award hopefully it'll have a presence like last year when Georgia and Sunetra (Zoe) presented an award.

Only a week to wait until the new series of Casualty starts. The trailer for the opening episode was shown last night after the National Lottery. Ruth looks amazing! Not sure if her hair is slightly lighter or if its just an illusion?

Jane Danson lists Georgia as her "Ultimate TV mate" in today's Daily Mirror We Love Telly magazine. Jane returns to Corrie next week after a maternity break for her 2nd child, Alfie, born the day after Georgia's birthday in February.

Ruth is mentioned in the BBC spoilers for the Casualty episode to be shown on the 19th September, And Then There Were Three. Its a bit of a shocker regarding one of the new F2s!

The locate.tv website now has its spoiler for the Dawn of the ED Part I and Ruth gets a mention!

In the BBC Casualty preview video, a character wearing a burgundy evening dress can be seen lying motionless on the floor. 
This appears to be Ruth and the pattern of the floor on which the character lies confirms the location to be Leigh Court (above, right). Georgia filmed at Leigh Court on 20th June so, with the 3 month transmission delay, the episode should be coming up sometime very early in the series. Hopefully its nothing too serious for Ruth.

The very first BBC Programme Information Casualty spoilers are now out for Series 24! There are two separate spoilers for the opening, double header episodes, showing on Sat 12th and Sun 13th of September.

The official BBC Casualty website now has a 2 minute video preview of the explosive series opener (and other early episodes?). Ruth can be seen in civvies with stethoscope. Perhaps now that she's more senior she'll be allowed out of scrubs at work like Zoe.

The Land of Whimsy blog has produced its appraisal of Series 23 of Casualty. Even if some of its points are controversial it still makes for a good read. The appraisal for Series 22 is also still available.

The official BBC Casualty website has posted some new spoilers for the early episodes of Series 24, on its News page including this - Ruth gets a shock when an unexpected patient turns up in ED - intriguing one for Ruth! 
The new series kicks off with a double header entitled, Dawn of the ED, on the weekend of 12/13 September.

Mark Letheren, who returns soon for a Casualty episode as therapist Ben Harding, is appearing in Arthur Miller's play, All My Sons, at the Bolton Octagon from 1st - 24th October. Details can be found on Mark's site (News Section) and on the Bolton Octogan site.

Actress Evelyn Hoskins looks set to star as a new semi-regular in Series 24 of Casualty. According to her Spotlight page she has filmed 7 episodes as a character called Shona.

(Update 02/09/09: Yeovil Express article.)

Georgia can be seen in both The Bank Job movie and in the 1920's drama series, Lilies during August;

The Bank Job, Sky Movies Action Thriller, Sun 16th 15:05 to 16:53 and 21:00 to 22:48
Lilies, BBC HD, Wed 26th 00:00 to 00:55

holby.tv now has a page containing biographies, photographs and character names of the 4 new Casualty cast members announced yesterday.

Today's Sun newspaper online is reporting that Georgia Moffett is joining Casualty as one of the new junior doctors. That will be confusing!! The Sun also report the arrival of Laura Aikman, Steve Miller and Will Sharpe.

As it has been announced that there are four new junior doctors arriving in Series 24 of Casualty, could Laura Aikman be playing one of them? According to her agent's website she started filming as a new regular character this May.

Another series of Casualty is over. It doesn't seem like five minutes since Charlie's car sharing scheme of the 1st episode and its amazing to think that Georgia has now completed two full seasons.

Before Casualty and Ruth return in September the site will be reliving the Toyah and Spider romance from the eclipse summer of 1999.

This week's TV Guide magazine contains this (Ruth and Jay continue to grow closer: has she finally found someone she can trust, or will their happiness be short-lived?) spoiler for the next series of Casualty.

Casualty is one of the featured shows in next week's edition of Charlie Brooker's You Have Been Watching show on C4, Tuesday 4th August @22:00. You can add your comments about Casualty on the YHBW website.

An article published today on the broadcastnow.co.uk website mentions that the Roath Basin area of Cardiff is the BBC's preferred option for the new Casualty studios when the show moves to Cardiff in 2011.

A few people have been experiencing problems playing the videos from the site. Hopefully, the AVI video files, can be played by right clicking over the video image and choosing either "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As...". Hope this helps.

It was good to see Ruth go out to the scene of an accident in yesterday's Casualty. The scenes were filmed around the time of the BAFTA awards as can be seen by Ruth's hairstyle!

Ruth's character page on the official BBC Casualty website has recently been updated with some interesting new background information about her family and childhood.

What's on TV have a major Ruth and Jay spoiler for the first part of the Casualty series finale, No Fjords in Finland, on 25th July.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the previous poll, "Favourite Ruth Dress?". The overwhelming favourite was the lovely turquoise dress she wore to the 2nd surgeons' dinner with Jay. Far more attractive than Jay's underpants! The full result can been seen here.

The new poll is a look back at Ruth's big storylines from the soon to end Casualty Season 23.

The BBC Programme information spoilers are now out for the 1st August episode of Casualty, the final episode of the current series. This is the second part of the two part finale,  No Fjords in Finland.

Sky Movies Action/Thriller are also showing The Bank Job again this Saturday, 18th July, between 15:05 - 16:53 and 21:00 - 21:48.

It appears that one of the new junior Casualty doctors, following in Ruth and Toby's footsteps, might be Dr Eve Chester played by Kate Edney. Kate's agent's website credits her with multiple Season 24 episodes. Kate is also due to appear in panto in Falmouth this year so perhaps she'll have a break around Xmas?

Georgia is in the locate.tv cast list (spoilers) for the 25th July episode of Casualty, No Fjords in Finland. This is Part I of the 2 part series finale so its safe to say that Georgia will be present to the end of the series in which Ruth has only failed to feature in 4 out of the 48 episodes!

Georgia's play, Christmas Is Miles Away, has recently completed a run in New York and its writer, Chloë Moss talks about her play in an interesting podcast @ broadwaybullet.com. The play's script is also now available on google books.

The charity, Action For Children, has illustrated the difficult journeys vulnerable children have to make by asking celebrities to outline their own personal journeys. Georgia has produced a heartfelt artwork and a moving account of how she made the journey from the Rovers Return to the Royal Court. Georgia's journey can be seen on the Action For Children website.

A very passionate and steamy ending to tonight's Casualty! It was quite clever how the episode started and ended with a lift scene as well. Great acting by Georgia and some serious smooching not seen since the Dominic Cooper snog in the History Boys! Still not keen on Jay though.

It appears that the Surgeons' Dinners are to continue into the next series of Casualty. An actor has posted on their twitter feed about the scene he filmed, wearing a DJ, with Georgia today at Leigh Court in Bristol. According to the official BBC Casualty website (spoilers), episodes 5 and 6 are currently being filmed.

The new poll concerns all the glamorous outfits Ruth has been wearing in this series.

Lovely to see Ruth back again in tonight's Casualty and looking gorgeous in her surgeon's dinner outfit! I don't really like Jay though and I don't think he'd be the type Ruth would ever fall for.

Oliver Kent, the Casualty series producer has revealed a startling number of spoilers and teasers for the end of the current series, and well into the next series, in his latest interview with the Digital Spy website. There are several exciting spoilers about Ruth and some intriguing teasers that don't name Ruth but could well be her!

The BBC Programme information spoilers for the 20th June Casualty episode are now out. Things are certainly getting interesting and I think the nipple plasters might be needed again soon!

There's a little piece on Georgia from last Friday's Wigan Evening Post on the wigantoday.net website.

According to Mark Letheren's official site News page, Ben Harding is returning for an important episode of Casualty that he has just finished filming.

locate.tv now has its spoiler for the 13th June Ruth-centric episode of Casualty, Fight or Flight.

Mark has a really good official website that details his career to date with lots of photographs from his theatre, film and television work.

After a two episode break, not only does Ruth return but she also headlines today's BBC Programme information spoilers!

Georgia and Suzanne Packer (Tess) joined Sir David Frost at a gala fundraiser for impoverished theatrical students at the Academy Theatre in Shepton Mallet last Friday evening. According to an article on thisissomerset website, Georgia attended with her off-screen partner Mark Letheren. Mark played counsoller Ben Harding in Casualty who ran off with Toby! Congratulations to Georgia and Mark!

Georgia isn't in the locate.tv cast list (spoilers) for the June 6th episode of Casualty.

Today's Radio Times magazine Casualty cast list confirms that Georgia isn't appearing in this Saturday's episode.

Its not looking good for a Ruth appearance in the May 30th episode of Casualty as Georgia isn't mentioned in the locate.tv cast list (spoilers). Could this be the first episode that Ruth hasn't featured in since the 24th January and only the 3rd episode with no Ruth of the series?

The BBC Programme information (spoilers) for the 6th June episode of Casualty is now available.

This week's Inside Soap magazine carries some summer Casualty spoilers including this one about Ruth, Ruth and Jay's feelings for each other grow as they spend more time together!!

Georgia's BAFTA outfit has definitely been placed in the winners category by the fashion editors. 

Winner: thank heavens someone has dared to go funky. We're loving the splash of colour here from Casualty star Georgia Taylor. Living TV

This is a fab dress - not an overly red carpet look admittedly for Casualty's Georgia Taylor, but this is practically the only pattern in sight all evening. The Guardian

The Sun has a quote from Georgia on her hairstyle.

Georgia Taylor was keen for our Mark Hill Creative Stylist to create a ‘just got out of bed’ look to her bob. The Casualty actress's hair was loosely backcombed. Georgia said she usually “has a nightmare getting the bits at the back”, so was grateful for the help of her stylist, who finished her look with Mark Hill De-Frizz Texturizing Polish.

Just back from the BAFTAs. It was a lovely warm, spring day and a lovely surprise seeing Georgia there too not knowing which Casualty people would be attending! Georgia wore an adventurous polka dot top half and summery dress bottom half combination.

I managed to see the Casualty cast (Georgia, Gillian, Tristan and Sunetra) walk the red carpet from the balcony of the 4th floor bar so the view of the celebs was very much cleavage and bald patches! I also saw Georgia and Sunetra leave the auditorium at the end of the ceremony.

As luck would have it I was in the toilets when the Best Continuing Drama was announced and this must have been the only award I missed, but was later told The Bill had unfortunately won.

I did take some photos but I'll be surprised if I caught Georgia in frame or in enough light to be seen. I'll post any that come out (fingers crossed).

The Eastenders actress Charlie Brooks gives Georgia a mention in her interview with today's Sunday Mirror.

I hadn't realised until this week that Tristan Gemmill (Adam Trueman) played Leanne Battersby's drug councilor in 3 episodes of Corrie in January 2000. I found this screen capture of a very young looking Tristan in what was one of his first ever TV roles.

The actress, Emily Haigh, who played the little girl Katie whose mum died whilst driving a train and threw things at Ruth when she tried to treat her, has written about her Casualty experience on her school website. This was also Toby's last episode and he calmed her down using Dr Sockter.

The BBC Programme information (spoilers) for the 9th May episode of Casualty is now out.

Another very intriguing episode of Casualty last night! Georgia is also in the cast list for the 25th April episode of Casualty according to both locate.tv (spoilers) and the Radio Times website. No sign of Ben Turner though so I think Ruth and Jay's relationship might be a slow burner!

The BBC Programme information spoiler for the episode of Casualty on 25th April is now up.

7th April - Gillian Kearney on This Morning

Actress Gillian Kearney, who plays nurse Jessica in Casualty, is appearing on This Morning on Thursday 16th April according to the Radio Times magazine.

Both Georgia and Ben Turner (Jay) are in the cast list for the Casualty episode to be shown on 18th April, The Trap, according to the Radio Times website.

Ruth looked amazing again in last night's Casualty and especially amazing in that blue plunging dress in the bar scene! It was also nice to hear her call Jay an "irritating moron" after he had called her a "gorgeous sexpot with dark hair and smoldering eyes"! I sense the start of something special!

The BBC Programme information spoiler for the episode of Casualty on 18th April is now up. Its a relief as it had the potential to be another "Ruth wakes up with..." one!

The official BBC Casualty website has a new video interview with Janine Mellor who played Kelsey. The interview doesn't appear to be working at the moment but in the description it says Janine talks about her holidays and what her super-power would be. [Update: video is now working and best holiday is Turkey with Georgia and Matthew last year!]

The members of the cast of Casualty have been told they must learn to speak in Welsh accents in order to ensure their jobs when the show moves to Cardiff in 2011. The new BBC regional programming mandate demands that at least half of the show's cast must appear to be from the South Wales locality. The BBC have already employed a top voice coach who, along with Cardiff actor Charles Dale (Big Mac), have begun a series of evening training sessions.

Ruth is mentioned in What's On TV's online spoiler for this Saturday's Casualty episode, True Lies.

It was great to see Ruth come out of her shell tonight and Georgia was amazing playing the role of the drunk too! It also brought back memories of the time Toyah was sick over Les!

The half hour documentary, The Battersby Family Album is being repeated on Good Friday 10th April on ITV2 @ 13:00. Georgia reminisces about her time as Toyah  and recalls highlights such her watching the eclipse with Spider and saving Theresa the Turkey.

In the forthcoming Casualty episode showing on the 4th April, True Lies, Ruth treats a old adversary of Toyah's! Zoe Henry, who played Log in Coronation Street and who stole Spider away from Toyah until Toyah exposed her as being a meat eater, plays a character called Sandra Morley.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the previous poll, "Which man do you think Ruth will set her sights on?". The leading choice was "Someone we haven't seen yet" closely followed by Jay. The full result can been seen here.

The new poll is slightly connected to the old poll and is in response to today's BBC spoiler.

The BBC have, today, officially confirmed the move of Casualty from Bristol to Cardiff. The move will take place in 2011 according to the Guardian article. This is especially bad news for Georgia, who only bought her Bristol house last year.

Ruth gets another opportunity to wear her glad rags rather than her scrubs for some more extra curricular activity according to the new BBC Programme information spoiler for the Easter Saturday episode of Casualty on 11th April!

This year's National Television Awards are being delayed from October until early 2010 due to ITV's financial crisis according to an article in today's Guardian.

Thanks to Amy for her post on holby.tv containing this <  To stop Kelsey getting drunk before her surprise party, Alice swaps her drinks with Ruth's non alcoholic ones. Soon Ruth is wasted. > gem of a spoiler from What's On Tv magazine for this Saturday's Casualty episode!

Casualty has been nominated for the Best Continuing Drama Award at this year's BAFTAs alongside Eastenders, The Bill and Emmerdale. Its the first time Casualty has been nominated during Georgia's time on the show, having won the award in 2007 and failing to be nominated in 2008.

Thanks to Amy's post on holby.tv, I managed to catch Charles Dale's (Big Mac)  interview on today's This Morning. No mention of Georgia in the interview unfortunately :(.

LivingTV2 is re showing the episode of the documentary, The Real Extras, that features the regular Casualty porter, Oscar. Although it was filmed before Georgia's time its still interesting to see behind the scenes on the Casualty set. It can be seen this Saturday, 21st March, between 13:00 and 14:00.

Charles Dale (Big Mac) has a dedicated Casualty episode this weekend. In this interview he remembers previously challenging episodes he's had, like the Corrie Live episode (as Dennis Stringer) in 2000. Both Charles and Georgia can be seen celebrating saving the cobbles in this capture!

Georgia is in the locate.tv cast list (spoilers) for the Casualty episode, All You Need Is Love, to be shown on March 28th.

Poor Ruth! Her attempt at a social life was more Friday 13th than Comic Relief. I think she's much better off without that awful Chris guy though who didn't even have the decency to take an interest in Ruth's work and then made fun of her with his mates. Ruth was drop dead gorgeous in that dress too so its his loss.

Sky Movies Premiere and Sky Movies Premiere HD are showing the first TV screening of The Bank Job on Saturday April 18th between 21:45 and 23:33. Georgia plays Ingrid who is Jason Statham's character's receptionist and also has a big wedding.

More possible names for Ruth's storyline have emerged in the locatetv.com cast list (spoilers). I think a strong possibility might be Andrew McNair.

The locatetv.com cast list (spoilers) is out for the March 14th episode of Casualty, Shield. A couple of the names of the guest actors are given. Could either Andrew Tiernan or Ace Bhatti be involved in Ruth's storyline?

Congratulations to Jane who gave birth to a baby boy, Alfie Sam Robert, weighing 7lb 15oz in the early hours of this morning (almost the same day as his Aunt Georgia!).

Many Happy Returns to Georgia who celebrates her birthday today! Hopefully it'll be a wonderful day and another happy and successful year ahead for Georgia!

...politicians in the West Country had intervened to persuade the BBC not to transfer the making of Casualty from Bristol to Wales.

Thanks to Karyn for pointing out that the Digital Spy website features new paramedic Polly Emmerson (Sophia Di Martino) in their Soap Movers list (spoilers).

Georgia's profile on her agent's website, Conway Van Gelder, has now been updated to include her work on Casualty.

The full script of Sex and Death, Georgia's dedicated flashback episode of Casualty (transmitted on 9th Feb 2008), has been uploaded onto the BBC website.

Amy's Georgia fan forum celebrates its first birthday this weekend. Its a great place to catch up with Georgia news and discussion and there's also lots of photographs of Georgia meeting her fans!

I managed to catch Matthew Needham's performance in Shades at the Royal Court yesterday. He's extremely good as Mark, a gay boyfriend of a Muslim who lives with the play's main character, a fashion show organiser called Sabrina. 

It was my first visit to the Royal Court since The Woman Before. The play wasn't staged in the main theatre where Georgia performed but in a really intimate loft space. Shades runs until 21st Feb and is well worth a visit. Guppy from Casualty (Elyes Gabel) also plays a friend of Sabrina's love interest.

I also managed to see the audience recording of Rhys Thomas's Above Their Stations, a new BBC3 sitcom pilot about Community Police officers. It was very funny especially the bits when Rhys corpsed which he blamed on having tonsillitis!

Georgia is in the locate.tv cast list (spoilers) for the Valentine's Day episode of Casualty, Stand By Me!
