Elle Gardner will join the Emergency Department of Holby General Hospital as a new consultant in May 2016.[1] She will be replacing either Connie, Zoe or Dylan. However, it's likely that they will all be present for a while and the departure will occur after Elle's arrival.
Behind the scenes
Jaye Griffiths' first episode as Elle Gardner will air in May 2016. A single mum with three chaotic teenagers, it becomes clear that Elle is a little out of practice as she struggles with the concept of ultrasound. But using her instincts she works brilliantly and wins the team over.
Griffiths adds: "I was filming in Cardiff for Doctor Who last year, so it’s great to be back in Wales starting a new role with the Casualty team. Everyone's been extremely welcoming and the storylines are really powerful."
The first appearance of Elle in video footage was released in a trailer posted by the BBC in March 2016. It featured several snippets of scenes with her in, depicting what appeared to be a slight conflict of interest with Connie. It is also revealed that her and Jacob knew each other growing up; something which causes Connie's dislike for Elle to grow.
