After a year of playing the role of Max Christie on the popular medical drama Casualty, Nigel Harman has bid farewell to the show. Saturday's episode, which is now available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, revealed Max's departure in emotional scenes that left fans heartbroken.
In his final moments on the show, Max, who recently underwent a life-saving kidney transplant from his daughter Jodie, made a difficult decision about his future. Despite the anticipation of returning to work at the ED, Max ultimately decided that it was time for him to leave. The news came as a shock to his colleague Dylan, who was looking forward to having him back on the team.
The scenes were bittersweet as Max shared his plans to move to South Sudan after being offered a placement with the organization Medics of the World. While this was a great opportunity for Max, his daughter Jodie was less than pleased with his decision and a heated confrontation ensued between the two. However, Max remained resolute in his choice.
These were Nigel Harman's final scenes on the show, as the former EastEnders star wrapped up filming in August before joining the cast of Strictly Come Dancing. In an interview with the Daily Star Sunday, Nigel confirmed that his time on Casualty was over for the time being and that there were no plans for him to return.
During his time on Strictly, Nigel was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones and made it to the quarter-finals before having to withdraw due to an injury sustained during rehearsals. Despite his short stint on the show, Nigel's performance was well-received by fans and he became a fan-favorite.
As Casualty continues to air on Saturday nights on BBC One, fans will have to say goodbye to Max Christie and Nigel Harman's portrayal of the beloved character. But the show must go on, and we can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of the characters. Don't forget to tune in and catch up on all the drama on BBC iPlayer.
