Who is nurse Cameron Mickelthwaite in Casualty?

“The 31st of October. Halloween! So, it’s been six months!”

“Yes, I’ve moved to Cardiff, I've new people that I can call friends and this really incredible job. It’s been quite funny to move here with radio silence and not being able to say anything. But at the same time, it’s been really nice because it’s given us the opportunity to settle in and really focus on the work. It feels like a proper new chapter!”

“There’s a new dynamic since it’s all been revealed because it’s actually real — it’s actually going on telly and people are going to see it! Because we’ve been given time to really incubate and develop the characters, we’ve almost forgotten about our first episode!”

“All our characters are such colourful personalities in different ways and they approach situations very differently. You see that in the way that Cam grapples with losing the body in our first episode versus how Rida is more practical in finding a solution. Her approach is pragmatic, whereas Cam’s going ‘What am I going to do? I’m going to get sacked!’ With Jodie, Cam finds her happy-go-lucky sense beautiful. With Ryan, even though he bullies him, Cam admires his strength in his own ability. 

“They’ve very different but complement each other perfectly, and they’re always learning from each other.”

“Yes, this job has made me really aware. Growing up we’ve all been to hospital and seen what they're like, but it’s another thing understanding inside the head of nurses and doctors. To live around death on a daily basis — like the things that happen in this week’s episode, they’re not easy things to tackle, especially on their first day. NHS medics are real life superheroes!” 

“What you see this week sets a benchmark for the rest of the series. The episodes don’t slow down. We’ve been filming here for six months and I'm telling you, we’ve done some crazy stuff. There are storylines and stunts you’d never expect. Honestly, it’s been unreal. I’m so fortunate to be here!”
