Former Holby City star Jo Martin, who starred as consultant neurosurgeon Max McGerry, has teased a possible return for her character in Casualty.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy ahead of the release of The Marlow Murder Club this March, Martin opened up about whether she would consider reprising her role in a cameo or as a mainstay in Casualty.

“Well, the thing is, my character for Holby, she runs Casualty as well. So they better mind I don’t come back. My character — because she was a CEO, and then she let that go, and she was a neurosurgeon,” Martin said.

She continued: “I appeared as that character in both. Max McGerry was in Casualty and Holby. Holby was her main show, but then occasionally I’d jump over and come ruffle some feathers and tell people, ‘Watch it’.”

Asked if there was a chance she could reappear, Martin said: “You never know. A few people have gone over. Jaye Griffiths, she was in Holby. She’s done a stint on Casualty as her character from Holby.

“So never say never. And I love Casualty. So, you know…”

Martin is about to star in the new mystery series The Marlow Murder Club from Death in Paradise creator Robert Thorogood.

Drama / Masterpiece

Martin isn’t the only member of the Holby City gang to address a potential cameo in Casualty, with David Ames recently expressing an interest in returning to the hospital as his character, Dr Dominic Copeland.

“I believe Dom occasionally gets mentioned in Casualty, so he is alive and well and within the hospital!” Ames said.

“I would love to revisit him and see where he is now. Dom was such a multi-faceted character: sassy, emotional, intelligent, so flawed and lovable.”
