Elinor Lawless admits that her fiercely independent and much-loved Casualty character, Stevie Nash, has been through a lot in recent months. After the death of her partner Rich Walker (Michael Keogh) in February, the doctor experienced a false-positive pregnancy test, which led to a cancer diagnosis.
“Stevie has been battered by the fates,” says Elinor when she joins us for an exclusive interview. “I've never felt her to be as scared as she is in this storyline. For the first time, she is really terrified - and she hates being afraid."
