The guy Charlie/Derek hugs on the way out is Pete Salt, the medical advisor for the show and who Charlie is actually based on. He didn't know he was going to be there and the reaction is as genuine as it looks. Lovely touch.

First time Charlie met Stevie was when she was a child. Fate brought them back together. Charlie’s last episode made me cry so much. However, I’m happy they didn’t kill him off ❤😢😢😢😢😢❤

[@animelovers000]

I'm damn happy they didn't kill Charlie off. We have all grown up with casualty and loved seeing Charlie doing what he did best and he was the heart and soul of the show. It's going to be strange not seeing him now

I might not pay for a TV license any longer, and as such don't watch BBC live TV, but Casualty was a part of my growing up. Watched it almost religiously. What a great send off.

[@Della624]

I cannot say how much it means to me that Charlie Fairhead actually got to retire. I was so SO afraid they were going to kill him off like they did Duffy, Baz and others. All of his fights, all of his struggles boht personal and professional would have been absolutely pointless had they killed him off. Now I can watch past episodes knowing his career and personal life end on a high note. Of all the Character I have grown to love over the years, of all of them Charlie Fairhead deserved a wonderful ending. Much love from one extremely happy bunny. 🥰💝

This wasn’t just Charlie saying goodbye. It was Derek saying goodbye to the cast and crew 🥲 Bye Bye Charlie. Bye Bye Derek. I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes (again) watching this again. Charlie was my favourite and Derek played him perfectly. Will miss him so much 💔

The real NHS needs people to be more like Charlie’s character, it's more than just a job.

Charlie is a character from my childhood that I grew up watching and inspired my career in the NHS. I haven’t watched Casualty for a very long time, probably since late teens early 20s when life took over but every now and then I’d see a clip or whatever and usually Charlie was there and I’d be blown away that he was still going. I’m 42 now and think Charlie Fairhead might be the longest TV character I’ve ever known. What a beautiful ending to a beautiful career for Derek Thompson. ❤
