Former Casualty star Cathy Shipton has spoken out about the BBC’s decision to axe Doctors after 24 years.
The actress, 67, walked the corridors of Holby City Hospital as Lisa ‘Duffy’ Duffin sporadically between 1986 and 2020.
Now, ahead of Doctors’ end, she’s set to appear in her third role.
It was announced last year that the popular daytime soap would be taken off air following cost-cutting measures across the corporation.
Final episodes, which are due to air in December, were filmed in March. At the time, director Niall Fraser took to Facebook to ask fans not to gather outside of their production base in Selly Oak, Birmingham, as the show wrapped.
