Holby City: Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge says ‘fans come to be enjoyed’

Holby City will see the return of some familiar faces when the BBC hospital airs its final episode this month.

The medical drama will air its last show on March 29 after 23 years of airing.

Beeb has revealed that several past characters will make a surprise appearance to help bring the show down including Hugh Quarshie as Ric Griffin and Chizzy Akudolu as Mo Effanga.

Luke Roberts will also reprise the role of Joseph Byrne while Jules Robertson will return to play Jason Haynes.

Catherine Russell as Serena Campbell and Jemma Redgrave as Bernie Wolfe will also be among the returning cast members.

Holby City is a spin-off of Casualty and was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young with the first episode airing in 1999.

Last year, the BBC announced that it had made the “difficult decision” to end the program in order to “reshape BBC drama to better reflect, represent and serve every corner of the country”. .

It claims this is to help “make room for new opportunities” as part of the broadcaster’s “commitment to more programming across the UK”.

Among the stars who have appeared on the show over the years are Leslie Ash, Patsy Kensit, Jane Asher, Robert Powell, Adrian Edmondson and Alex Walkinshaw.

* The final episode will air at 7.50pm on BBC One.
