Casualty star Charles Venn has detailed his struggle to keep his return to the BBC medical-drama a secret. The actor, who has played Jacob Masters since 2015, made a shock comeback during Saturday’s, April 8 episode.
Commenting on his return on social media, Charles said: “It was killing me not being able to tell you all, but I am so glad it’s now out of the bag.” Jacob’s return to Casualty comes just two weeks after the character left the hospital after his role as clinical nurse manager became ‘untenable’.
Charles added, thanking his fans: “You guys are amazing supporters of this show and the love you’ve shown the show, Jacob & myself has been overwhelming, thank you!!! Let the games begin.” His character has become a paramedic.
