Casualty star teases shock exit for Ethan Hardy

From Digital Spy

Casualty star George Rainsford has sparked speculation about an upcoming exit for his character Ethan Hardy in a number of not-so-subtle tweets.

Fans have been left fearing that Ethan could be departing the ED in the near-future, after George revealed on Twitter that he had left Cardiff – where Casualty is filmed.

He said: "Goodbye Cardiff! Until the next time. Also, I'm coming off Twitter for a bit. Not forever, but... I'll see you again soon. Just don't be offended if I don't reply. Be kind to each other."

In another tweet yesterday (March 20), George told a disappointed fan hoping to meet him at the studios: "I'm not here anymore sorry."

George's tweets have naturally sent Casualty-watchers believing that Ethan's days in the Holby hospital are numbered, but we can reveal that the doctor isn't actually going anywhere.

Digital Spy understands that there are no plans to write Ethan out in the foreseeable future – meaning his fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Ethan has taken centre stage in a number of Casualty's biggest stories over the last year, having gone on a downward spiral in the aftermath of his brother Cal's murder.

More recently, Ethan has found himself out of his depth after taking over the role of Clinical Lead in Connie Beauchamp's absence, with Casualty's spring trailer hinting at lots more drama ahead for him.

Casualty continues on Saturday, March 24 on BBC One.
