Casualty has returned to screens, and there's a new paramedic that has everybody talking.

Indie Jankowski (played by Naomi Wakszlak) has entered the show as a student paramedic — and she's already made a big impression, with some Casualty viewers calling newcomer Indie an 'icon'.

During the latest instalment of Casualty (which aired Saturday 11th January 2024) viewers saw Indie thrust into a difficult situation, helping a victim of a drive-by shooting who was secretly carrying a gun.

The young paramedic displayed quick reactions, persuading the man to surrender his gun by urging him to get treatment for his leg.

'Loving Indie already,' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

While another said, 'Also indie is an absolute queen i am so obsessed.'

And a third wrote, 'Well, Indie couldn't be making a better first impression.'

And another fan of the BBC medical drama wrote, 'indie is such an icon #Casualty.'

While another said, 'indie moving the van STOP HAHAHA.'

And another Casualty fan commented, 'Just got to end of tonight's #Casualty on @BBCiPlayer. A really good episode tonight. Warming to the new paramedic Indie. Jodie crossed a line whilst my heart broke for Faith.'

Another fan summed up the episode, saying, 'Indie has to bite the bullet on her first day. Jodie has boundaries issue. Faith has a lot to cope with.'

Meanwhile, another wrote, 'If that van driver comes in to make a complaint about Indie, he can do one.'

Casualty episode Bite the Bullet aired on BBC1 on Saturday 11 January 2025 at 9.20pm. The episode is available on BBC.
