Metro.co.uk can confirm Holby City’s Sacha Levy will make an appearance in Casualty.
Bob, who played Sacha Levy in the BBC One medical drama, hasn’t been seen on our screens since March of this year, following Holby City’s final ever episode.
However, the joy of Casualty and Holby City being set in the same hospital means characters often appear in each other’s shows.
When Holby first went off air, Fletch (Alex Walkinshaw) made a brief appearance in Casualty, chatting to Charlie (Derek Thompson) about Jac’s (Rosie Marcel) memorial following her death.

Now, we will be seeing another familiar face very soon.
Jason Durr, who plays David Hide, posted two wonderful pictures on his Twitter alongside Bob.
‘Had a lot of fun with the lovely #BobBarrett on set @BBCCasualty recently #holby’, he wrote alongside the images, which featured Jason and Bob smiling and hugging.
Oh how we’ve missed those hugs.
A Casualty spokesperson has confirmed to Metro.co.uk that Bob will reprise his Sacha Levy role in an episode next year – and honestly, we cannot wait.
Bob Barrett spoke about whether he’d reprise his role in Casualty during a chat with us at the start of the year, saying:

‘It’s so hard. This has been complete in its way, this place. If it does have another life, it’ll be a question of if it will be here or elsewhere, it’ll always be in our hearts. I guess you’re right, Casualty, there may be some characters who go there, whether or not they become regs, it might be a possibility. It’s so hard to know.’
‘I think the show is still very popular. It’s not like it’s in its last throes and the audience isn’t watching it any more. The audience are so upset that it’s leaving.’
While Holby City may not be on our screens anymore, the reappearance of these wonderful characters will help to fill that void.
A previous Holby City star, Chizzy Akudolu (Mo Effanga), was speaking about the success of the drama this week and how she hopes another channel will be responsible for allowing it to return.
‘I’m gutted more for the people still in there because they lost their jobs,’ the 49-year-old told Loose Women presenters Kaye Adams, Linda Robson, Judi Love and Carol McGiffin.
‘The audience that were with us for 23 years… it was such a beautiful show and I loved it and I hope another channel might pick it up, because it’s such a good show.’
Our hearts are happy!
