Yahoo News Holby City's Rosie Marcel to reunite with former castmates for new project
Holby City star Rosie Marcel has revealed that she is reuniting with three of her former co-stars for a new charity project.
Marcel, who played the popular Jac Naylor in Holby City between 2005 and 2022, will be teaming up with fellow Holby stars Guy Henry (Henrik Hanssen), Bob Barrett (Sacha Levy) and Sarah-Jane Potts (Eddi McKee) to create a new documentary in Romania.
Inside Soap reports that the documentary, which comes from charity The Pack Project UK, will see the stars helping to rescue and rehome stray dogs and cats in the country.

"I'm an ambassador of The Pack Project UK, and we partner with Care For Dogs Romania, where we take stray and injured animals off the street," Marcel explained. "We put them into kennels, treat them, get them well and hope to find them homes, either here in the UK or in Germany."
The actress joked that she got her former co-stars involved after being "very strong with them", adding that each of the actors had their own personal reason for wanting to be a part of the documentary.
"SJ [Sarah-Jane] was involved from the offset as we see each other quite frequently, and it was her idea for us to have a YouTube channel," she said.
"We knew then that we needed to get Bob because he'll most definitely cry – and Guy Henry, he's adopted five dogs of his own from the UK, and will ask all the questions that viewers will no doubt be asking themselves, such as why adopt from overseas."

The star added that this will be "the first time the four of us have been together in three to four years", saying: "It's going to be insane, and it's going to be hilarious – I can't wait to see them all. But I also need to prepare them for what's coming."
The documentary is due to be made up of five episodes and will look into life at an animal rescue and feature interviews with adopters, with dogs and cats being covered.
Marcel also spoke about what she has been up to since Jac sadly passed away in Holby City's final episode, which aired in March 2022.

"People are still reaching out very frequently. They're always asking me when I'm going to be back on TV, which is lovely, but I don't know, is the answer!" she said.
"I've actually really enjoyed the last few years of not doing anything and looking after my family."
The star added that she has been grateful to be able to take care of her husband after he fell ill over Christmas, saying: "I'm a big believer in that what's meant for you will find you – I'm just supposed to be here looking after my family at the moment and spending some time looking after my charity as well."
