Series 18 is the eighteenth series of Casualty. It aired from 13 September 2003 until 28 August 2004.

In total, the series features five exits of main characters. First is Anna Paul, who dies in episode three following the injuries she sustains in the train crash. Death also occurs in episode 19, with fan-favourite Baz Wilder dying after a car crash. Towards the end of the series in episode 40, paramedic Nikki Marshall leaves, and then in the series finale Lara Stone leaves while Simon Kaminski dies.
