Casualty Fans Rejoice: Olly Rix Reveals Future on BBC Drama https://mwnews.uk/casualty-fans-rejoice-olly-rix-reveals-future-on-bbc-drama/

Olly Rix, the actor who transitioned from Call the Midwife to the BBC medical drama Casualty, has confirmed he’s not going anywhere, assuring fans that his character, Flynn Byron, will remain a fixture in Holby. Rix, who joined the show after his departure from the period drama, described his year on the set as “overwhelmingly busy” and “all-consuming.”

In an interview with Hello!, Rix revealed the significant amount of content already in the bank: “We’ve been filming for a year, and you’ve only had ten episodes. We have 40 something in the bank now. So, Flynn’s not going anywhere.” This news comes as a relief to viewers who have quickly become invested in the complex and charismatic character and his intricate relationship with his father-in-law, Russell Whitelaw (Robert Bathurst).

The 40-year-old actor reflected on the intense nature of working on the medical drama, stating, “It’s all-consuming. The set itself is quite extraordinary and such an immersive experience. Really, I do feel as though I’ve spent the past year legitimately pretending to be a doctor, doing long shifts and finishing with sore feet and an aching back. It’s been quite the journey.”

Rix also commended Casualty for its willingness to tackle challenging and difficult themes, noting that the show doesn’t shy away from complex questions.

Currently, fans are gripped by Flynn’s troubling predicament following a shocking revelation. His father-in-law, Russell, was revealed to have committed sexual assault against Rida Amaan (Sarah Seggari). This has plunged Flynn into a profound ethical quandary, made even more complicated by Russell using Flynn’s own past infidelity as leverage, threatening to expose it if Flynn reveals the assault to Rida.

Discussing the delicate situation with The Mirror, Olly explained, “They’re not actively at war, they’re not fighting. He’s saying, providing you don’t do anything, I won’t do anything. Flynn has to choose to step into that fire and say ‘I’m going to risk it all, or he won’t.'”
