It's not often that we see an actress juggling two roles at once, but that's exactly what Nadine Mulkerrin did when she made a surprise appearance in the latest episode of Casualty. Fans of the long-running BBC medical drama were in for a treat as they caught a glimpse of the familiar face from Hollyoaks, where Nadine is known for her role as Cleo McQueen.
In this particular episode, Nadine played the character of Róisín, whose father Wyatt Newbury was rushed to the hospital with suspected ebola symptoms. It was quite the shock for both the viewers and Nadine's character, as they were estranged from each other. However, their strained relationship was not the only thing to worry about as it was later revealed that Wyatt had been poisoned by some toxic pills in an attempt to lose weight. To add even more drama, Wyatt was portrayed by none other than Joe McGann, who soap fans might recognize as the twisted Edward Hutchinson from Hollyoaks.
It's interesting to note that Joe's brother, Paul McGann, who is also a soap and TV legend, was previously a series regular in Casualty. He played the role of neurosurgeon John Gaskell, making this a family affair for the McGann brothers. But while Nadine's appearance in Casualty might seem like a recent development, it was actually filmed well in advance before her return to Hollyoaks.
Speaking of Hollyoaks, Cleo McQueen's return to the village has been just as eventful. After a two-year break, she came back to a car crash stunt that left viewers on the edge of their seats. And things have only gotten more complicated since then, as she confessed her love for her ex-boyfriend Joel Dexter and found out that her new boyfriend Abe Fielding is Joel's half-brother. To make things even more interesting, EastEnders icon Rita Simons is set to join the cast as the boys' mother.
Fans of both Casualty and Hollyoaks were quick to react on social media, expressing their excitement at seeing Nadine in a new role. One viewer tweeted, "Hello Cleo Mcqueen from Hollyoaks," while another wrote, "Nadine Mulkerrin!!!" The connection between Joe McGann's character in both shows was also noticed by one eagle-eyed viewer.
