Overview
All 16 main characters from series thirteen initially returned - consultant cardiothoracic surgeons Elliot Hope and Jac Naylor, consultant general surgeons Henrik Hanssen, Ric Griffin and Michael Spence, consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dan Hamilton, cardiothoracic surgical registrars Sahira Shah and Greg Douglas, general surgical registrars Antoine Malick and Sacha Levy, Foundation Training 2 doctor Oliver Valentine, Foundation Training 1 doctor Frieda Petrenko, senior nurse Eddi McKee, ward sister Chrissie Williams, staff nurse Elizabeth Tait and agency nurse Chantelle Lane.In November 2011, Joseph Millson was introduced as AAU's new trauma registrar Luc Hemingway. Millson described the character as someone who "winds everybody up" without realising that he is doing so. Young expanded, "Luc is an enigmatic stranger whose diagnostic genius and acerbic wit make him a brilliant doctor but an occasionally infuriating colleague. Joseph's created an intriguing, complex and riveting character who will most definitely bring a new dimension to the AAU ward." New Foundation Training 1 doctor Tara Lo joined the show on 6 March 2012, followed by the introduction of experienced consultant general surgeon Serena Campbell, nurse and transplant co-ordinator Jonny Maconie and cardiothoracic registrar Mo Effanga in May 2012.
