Hollyoaks' Atkinson joins Casualty

Hollyoaks' Atkinson joins Casualty. Former 'Hollyoaks' star Gemma Atkinson and 'Sex and the City 2' star Dhafer L'Abidine have joined the cast of the BBC's 'Casualty' as two new paramedics who get pulses racing. he BBC says that Atkinson's character, Tamzin, "ruffles the feathers of existing paramedics Jeff and Dixie (Matt Bardock and Jane Hazlegrove) and charms the rest of the staff at Holby City Hospital". L'Abidine's character, Omar, is described as a "competitive paramedic".

Series producer Oliver Kent said: "Omar's melting roadside manner is going to raise the temperatures of Holby's female patients!"
Commenting on her casting, Atkinson said: "I am absolutely thrilled to be joining 'Casualty' and really looking forward to getting to know all the cast and crew.

"I used to watch the series as a child so to now be involved is fantastic. I'm so grateful to be given the chance to play Tamzin and I hope audiences will enjoy her too!"

The duo begin filming this month and will be seen on screens from September.
