Last year's Casualty left fans on tenterhooks as it ended with doctors attempting CPR on Ngozi Okoye (Adesuwa Oni) as she tragically relapsed and hit her head after getting drunk at the airport.

Viewers have been waiting for three months to find out what happened to Ngozi, but when we return Holby City General on Saturday, the show will have gone through a time jump, meaning we're left waiting for answers for a little longer.

The first episode of the Learning Curve boxset will take place on Black Wednesday, the first Wednesday in August where newly qualified doctors start new roles within the NHS while existing junior doctors rotate to new wards or hospitals.

Two new doctors will be joining the show, Matty (Aron Julius) and Kim (Jasmine Baynes), with their progress being an overarching story thread for the entire boxset, which is set to last for 12 episodes.

Here's what's happening as Casualty makes its return…
