Okay, technically Off Duty is not a 2025 episode, but as the opener of the latest 11-part boxset Public Property came within spitting distance of the New Year, we’ve decided to include it here for coherency.

The first half catches up with professional pressures and personal conflicts at the ED – including hostilities between Siobhan McKenzie and Stevie Nash over the clinical lead position. The second part involves the powerful juxtaposition of Jan giving trainee paramedic Indie (show newcomer Naomi Wakszlak) a reality check, while an off duty Dylan Keogh and Jodie Whyte are caught up in a tragic incident at a restaurant.

With hard-to-watch frontline emergency medicine and something to say about the expectations placed on medics at its core, this is Casualty at its finest and a great start to a new chapter in the show’s history.

Guest stars: Jack Wilkinson, Allyson Ava-Brown, Omolabake Jolaoso, Norman Murray, Isaiah St Jean and Harriet Luker.
