Casualty confirms new details about huge disaster in latest anniversary trailer

 Watch it here.

A new extended trailer for Casualty's upcoming 40th anniversary spectacular has revealed what exactly the team will be up against when disaster strikes. The medical drama will air a special double-bill of episodes early next month.

The above clip confirms that a brutal explosion will strike St James’ Hospital, the nearest hospital to Holby. It has previously been regularly mentioned in episodes.

Paramedics will be seen searching through the rubble at the site of the catastrophe, while staff back at Holby City Hospital desperately try to cope with the fallout.

Official teaser spoilers reveal that Dylan (William Beck) is set to face personal tragedy while he leads his team through the extremely stressful situation, while Stevie (Elinor Lawless) and Flynn (Olly Rix) will fight for survival in what's billed as an "emotionally charged storyline that promises drama on an unprecedented scale, unlike anything Casualty has tackled before".

Other familiar faces slated to appear are Melanie Hill (Siobhan), Barney Walsh (Cam), Neet Mohan (Rash), Sammy Dobson (Nicole), Kirsty Mitchell (Faith), Anna Chell (Jodie), Sarah Seggari (Rida) and Aron Julius (Matty).

The paramedic team are also at the heart of the action, with Di Botcher (Jan), Michael Stevenson (Iain), Milo Clarke (Teddy), Charles Venn (Jacob) and Naomi Wakszlak (Indie) also featuring.

The double-bill arrives on 5 September, almost exactly 40 years - minus one day - since the show debuted on 6 September, 1986.

The most recent cluster of episodes, subtitled Lethal Legacy, aired from April to July of this year, finishing with a tragic death.

The BBC put Casualty out to tender in 2025, but in December it was confirmed that BBC Studios (who produce it) emerged victorious in the bidding process and will continue for at least three more series.

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, said at the time: “Casualty is a hugely important, much loved BBC drama and this tender has ensured it will continue to flourish. It was an extremely competitive process and we would like to thank the shortlisted producers for their high quality and comprehensive proposals.

"We look forward to working with BBC Studios as we build on the show’s long-running success."

Home and Away spoilers for next week 24 to 28 August 2026

 What's next in Summer Bay?

Coming up on Home and Away, Sonny confesses his crimes to the police, throwing his future wedding to Dana in doubt.

Elsewhere, Harper hatches a drastic escape plan, and Marilyn quits her job at the Diner following Leah's treatment towards Zane.

Here's a full collection of 14 big moments coming up.

 Marilyn's friend Zane drops a bombshell

Zane opens up to Marilyn and Alf about his criminal past. He reveals that he went to jail after attacking a young girl during a robbery.

Marilyn is forgiving and believes that Zane deserves another chance. She asks Leah to consider giving him a job, but David warns Leah to be careful.

Alf also remains wary of Zane's intentions and refuses to give him an easy ride.

Dana demands answers

Cash confronts Sonny and asks if he knew anything about steroids being dealt at the gym. Sonny denies all knowledge, but Dana is suspicious.

Later, she confronts her fiancé, wanting to know why he remained silent about purchasing drugs just a few weeks back.

Dana urges Sonny to go to the police, but instead he whisks her off to the city to buy an engagement ring.

 David tries to make amends

Lacey tries to educate David on the concept of 'friend-zoning', pointing out that he needs to make an effort if he wants Amelia in his life.

Taking this advice on board, David invites Amelia for coffee, but she doesn't want to discuss things anymore.

Jo is convinced that David feels the same and is surprised to learn that Amelia has handed in her notice and will be leaving the Bay at the end of the week.

Leah says the wrong thing

Mali sees Alf giving Zane a hard time and takes pity on the ex-convict. Meanwhile, Marilyn manages to persuade Leah to give Zane a trial shift.

After making a string of mistakes on the job, Zane is hurt when he overhears Leah say that she only gave him the shift as a favour to Marilyn.

Feeling defeated, Zane writes a goodbye note for Marilyn and leaves town.

 Dana starts wedding planning

Dana excitedly shows off her engagement ring before meeting with John to discuss logistics for the wedding.

When John questions if Sonny has been questioned by the cops, Dana is quick to shut down the conversation.

Grateful for John's help, Dana tells him that she wishes he wasn't her celebrant so he could walk her down the aisle.

 Levi faces an uncertain future

Amelia finds herself on the receiving end of Levi's rage when she tells him that she's handed her notice in. Mackenzie witnesses her partner's outburst and is shocked by his behaviour.

Later, Levi admits that he fears his injury has impacted his fine motor skills and ability to perform surgery.

Where will he go from here?

 Amelia has a change of heart

Jo tries to get Amelia to reconsider going – explaining what a positive impact she's had on David's life.

Their chat leaves Amelia with food for thought as she dares to dream that she may have a romantic future with David.

A short while later, Levi receives a call from the hospital to say that Amelia has changed her mind and will stay on at the hospital to cover his absence.

Marilyn quits the Diner

Marilyn is gutted to hear that Zane has gone and heads out to look for him, but has no luck.

When Justin questions if Zane is now in breach of his parole, Marilyn is beside herself with worry and feels as if she's let him down.

Leah tries to offer her support, but Marilyn snaps back by telling her that she's quitting her job, starting now!

Remi outs Sonny to Eden

Prompted by Dana, Sonny goes to see Remi and asks if they can fix their friendship so he can be his best man.

Remi agrees on the condition that Sonny is no longer dealing drugs for Beau. But Sonny's awkward silence is all the answer Remi needs.

Eden witnesses the pair's heated showdown and Remi later admits the truth, but makes her swear to secrecy.

Beau bullies Harper

Beau returns from his trip away with Harper, but his mind is set on revenge as he orders his lackeys to take care of Remi.

The next morning, Harper and Sonny are both suspicious when Beau reveals that Remi has been beaten up.

Harper confronts her boyfriend, who coerces her into lying to the police that they were together at the time of the attack.

Sonny makes a confession

Sonny's web of lies finally unravels when Dana overhears him admitting to being Beau's secret dealer.

Dana's hurt quickly turns to horror when she realises that Harper and Archie could be in danger from this man.

Later on, Sonny goes to the police station and makes a full confession. Cash grants him bail but charges Sonny with possession and supply.

 Tane fears for Harper's safety

Beau's control over Harper reaches new levels as he tells her that Archie is only allowed a short visit with Tane.

When Harper finds Tane at the gym, he expresses his concern about what's going on.

But unable to reveal Beau's true nature, Harper loses her patience and snaps at Tane.

Remi gives Sonny another chance

Cash goes to see Remi at his hospital bedside. While Remi didn't get a good look at his attackers, he is certain that Beau was behind it.

Eden has zero sympathy for Sonny, but Remi feels their anger should be directed at Beau.

Sonny is determined to right his wrongs, and despite everything Remi promises to be there for him.

Harper hatches her escape

As Beau is taken to the station for questioning, Dana decides it's time to tell Harper the truth about her boyfriend.

Cash questions Beau, who is adamant that Harper will back up his alibi for the time of Remi's attack.

But what Beau doesn't know is that Harper is preparing to do a runner with Archie before he gets home.

EastEnders' Amy plans sudden Walford escape after shocking Joel confession

 EastEnders’ Amy Mitchell makes a plan to suddenly leave Albert Square next week, following her game-changing confession about Joel Marshall. Since Joel was hit over the head with a hammer last month on the night the teens took revenge on him, the police have been investigating who carried out the violent attack.

In a major twist this week, Amy admitted to DC Craig Ingram that it was her who attacked Joel and put in hospital, as she reached breaking point when things escalated that night.

Amy and Craig have been growing dangerously close in recent weeks, and the pair were speaking in confidence – but new spoilers reveal that next week, Amy panics about having confessed the truth to the man investigating the case.

She approaches Craig and asks him to keep her confession a secret. Craig irresponsibly makes it clear to Amy that he will do her best to protect her, but reasons that they are both compromised now he knows what she did.

Shortly afterwards, Craig heads to the station and is stunned to be suspended from public duty policing by his superior, as a serious complaint has been made against him. He is taken off the Joel case as a result, which may make it easier if he is to keep Amy’s secret.

The walls are closing in on Amy though, who is alarmed when her dad Jack tells her that the police are likely to find Joel’s attacker. She makes a huge decision about her future and plans to run away from Walford as soon as possible.

Before she can make a swift escape from the Square, Craig rumbles her plan and stops her in her tracks – and it doesn’t look like she’ll be leaving any time soon.

As the week continues, Amy has another tense argument with Joel, who seemingly doesn’t remember that she is his attacker. Vicki gets involved when she spots the teens rowing and rages at Amy for stirring the pot.

Overwhelmed by the stress and guilt of covering up her huge secret, Amy meets up with Craig for another chat. Craig tells the vulnerable teen that he will always be there for her, and Amy is grateful to the copper for promising his support.

But will Craig really keep Amy’s confession to himself, and will his concerning behaviour continue?

Red carpet regrets! The Logies' most shocking fashion flops of all time revealed ahead of TV's night-of-nights

 The Logie Awards have delivered some of Australia's most iconic red carpet moments over the years - but not every celebrity has walked away a winner in the style stakes.

While the annual television awards are synonymous with dazzling gowns, sharp tuxedos and old Hollywood glamour, they've also produced their fair share of fashion disasters, with some stars making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Over the years, the red carpet has seen everything from daring silhouettes and barely-there designs to over-the-top embellishments and questionable styling choices that have left fashion critics scratching their heads.

And while some looks have become legendary for all the right reasons, others have earned their place in Logies history as unforgettable fashion felonies.

Now, just days before TV's night-of-nights, Daily Mail Australia takes a cheeky trip down memory lane to revisit some of the biggest red carpet misses - from the questionable to the downright outrageous.

Bella Veralis: 2025 

The Bachelor's Bella Veralis, who rarely steps a foot wrong with fashion, opted for a ruched gown in an on-trend pecan brown shade at the 2025 Logie Awards 

Emily makes another appearance on this list thanks to her 2024 Logies outfit, which received mixed reviews and raised plenty of eyebrows 

The Bachelor's Bella Veralis, who rarely steps a foot wrong with fashion, opted for a ruched gown in an on-trend pecan brown shade. 

While the frock fit her beautifully, the cups on the bodice looked a little unfinished and the structured neckline was too much for her petite figure and slim shoulders. 

Even the matching shawl - which gave the look an old-school, almost vintage glamour - couldn't quite rescue it.

Chloé Hayden: 2025 

Chloé Hayden certainly wasn't afraid to make an entrance at the 2025 Logies, arriving in an eccentric, otherworldly creation by Australian label Romance Was Born.

It was undoubtedly one of the more adventurous looks of the night - but perhaps there was simply too much going on. 

The exaggerated shoulders, unusual neckline and voluminous detailing created a slightly chaotic silhouette, while the black boots made the ensemble feel more costume than formalwear.

Sophea Pennington: 2025 

Actress Sophea Pennington's plunging gown left her at risk of a wardrobe malfunction in 2025

Actress Emily Weir divided opinion with her very racy ivory gown during the 2025 Logies red carpet 

Sophea Pennington took the plunge - quite literally - in a floor-length black sequinned gown for the 2025 Logies.

The actress opted for a dramatically plunging neckline and figure-skimming silhouette, with the shimmering fabric giving the look plenty of red carpet sparkle. 

But the combination of the plunging cut and delicate fabric looked like a particularly risky choice for an outdoor red carpet, with very little room for movement - or a rogue gust of wind.

Emily Weir: 2025 

Actress Emily Weir divided opinion with her very racy ivory gown during the 2025 Logies red carpet. 

The actress threw any and all caution to the wind with her dress, with the split not only flying past her thigh but continuing all the way up to her upper hip. 

As expected she spent the majority of her time on the carpet attempting to cover up her modesty as her silky frock took off in the breeze. An example of a risk that didn't pay off. 

Emily Weir: 2024

Emily makes another appearance on this list thanks to her 2024 Logies outfit, which received mixed reviews and raised plenty of eyebrow 

Melissa King's outfit at the 2024 Logies is proof that having a stylist doesn't make you the best dressed 

Emily makes another appearance on this list thanks to her 2024 Logies outfit, which received mixed reviews and raised plenty of eyebrows.

Exposing her derriere and then some, the Home and Away star took to the red carpet in a baby pink dress with sheer panels, rhinestones, tulle - you name it. 

Her risqué frock turned out to be riskier than expected—a glittering example of what not to wear at the Logies.

Melissa King: 2024

Melissa King's outfit at the 2024 Logies is proof that having a stylist doesn't make you the best dressed. 

For whoever let Melissa descend onto the red carpet with her Spanx on full display clearly had no idea what they were doing.  

The Better Homes and Gardens host deserved better than to be dressed in an ill-fitting Amanda Tasevski gown—especially one with a sheer, corseted midriff that left her high-waisted underwear band fully exposed. 

Here’s hoping Melissa gets her red carpet redemption this year – and keeps the undies under wraps. 

Leila McKinnon (pictured)stole the spotlight (for all the wrong reasons) in 2018 when she arrived on the red carpet in a futuristic tinsel-inspired frock. 

Olympia Valance wore a rose-stamped creation in 2017. The billowing velvet skirt and oversized print did little to flatter the star's frame

Leila McKinnon: 2018    

Channel Nine journalist Leila McKinnon stole the spotlight for all the wrong reasons in 2018 when she arrived on the red carpet in a futuristic tinsel-inspired frock.

The glitzy design showed off her cleavage and skimmed over her hourglass curves with what looked like Spotlight-sourced party tinsel.

Leila’s makeup matched the drama of her outfit, with a heavy smoky eye and a liberal sweep of blush. 

Olympia Valance: 2017 

Olympia Valance wore a rose-stamped creation by Con Ilio when she attended the Logies in 2017. 

The billowing velvet skirt and oversized print did little to flatter Olympia's frame, while a bizarre head wrap failed to enhance her already overwhelming look.  

Olympia’s no stranger to bold fashion choices, but this one left fans distinctly unimpressed.

A Current Affair's Tracy Grimshaw stepped onto the 2009 Logie Awards red carpet in a royal purple number with rhinestone detailing 

Natalie Bassingthwaighte failed to flatter her spectacular figure in a pink smock-like dress with gold features

Tracy Grimshaw: 2009 

A Current Affair's Tracy Grimshaw made a questionable sartorial choice in 2009 when she stepped on the red carpet in a royal purple number with rhinestone detailing.  

The frock's voluminous skirt and garish hue earned her a spot on many fans' worst-dressed lists.

And while it may have been on-trend back then, Tracy’s throwback haircut and fast fashion-style purse didn’t help her case.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte: 2022

The former Neighbours star failed to flatter her amazing figure in a pink smock-like dress with gold features.

Natalie finished the look with Egyptian-style block bracelets—an accessory choice that left many scratching their heads. 

Libby Babet: 2017 

The Biggest Loser's Libby Babet turned heads in 2017, in a glittering silver pencil dress covered in flamenco-inspired fringe detailing 

Margot Robbie stepped out in a dramatic, flamenco-inspired, black and red mullet dress at the 2009 Logies

The Biggest Loser's Libby Babet graced the Logies red carpet in an outfit that would polarise audiences in 2017. 

Sauntering her way down the media wall, Libby turned heads in a glittering silver pencil dress covered in flamenco-inspired fringe detailing.

The trainer topped off her eyebrow-raising ensemble with chunky white heels and a high-drama ponytail. 

Margot Robbie: 2009  

In 2009, well before her Hollywood career took off, former Neighbours star Margot Robbie stepped out in a dramatic, flamenco-inspired, black and red mullet dress.

Despite being panned by fashion critics, Margot had attended as a nominee for the Most Popular New Female Talent award. 

While it wasn’t her finest fashion moment, we’ll forgive Margot—her recent five-star looks make up for it. 

Christian Wilkins: 2018 

Prince Christian Wilkins suffered a fashion faux pas in 2018, when he opted for a casual plaid dress, ill-fitting black pants underneath and biker-style boots

Real Housewives of Melbourne star Gamble Breaux wore an OTT get-up at the 2016 Logies, complete with leg jewels 

He's the son of veteran entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins and is known to push the boundaries with fashion.

However, Christian suffered a fashion faux pas when he descended on the 2018 red carpet in a very casual look.

He chose a red plaid frock layered over ill-fitting black trousers and finished the look with biker-style boots—an ensemble that felt more streetwear than Logies-ready. 

Gamble Breaux: 2016 

The Real Housewives of Melbourne star stepped out in an OTT get-up that left little to the imagination at the 2016 Logies.

Gamble turned heads as she chose to accessorise with unusual leg jewels that overpowered her otherwise simple beige dress.  

The frock’s thigh-high split showed off her toned legs, while glitter-soaked heels added even more drama to the already eccentric ensemble. 

Bonnie Sveen: 2017 

Home and Away star Bonnie Sveen sported an unusual two-piece in grey brocade at the 2017 ceremony 

Georgie Parker swamped her frame in a floor-length tan silk dress with ruched detailing around her stomach 

Best known for playing Ricky Sharpe on Home and Away, Bonnie looked worlds away from her bikini babe character when she attended the Logies in 2017.

Clad in an unusual two-piece ensemble with grey brocade, the soap star looked decidedly uncomfortable as she posed on the red carpet.  

Bonnie paired the look with black strappy heels, though they did little to complement her petite frame. 

Georgie Parker: 2016 

Home and Away star Georgie Parker missed the fashion mark in 2016 when she wore a bronze silk gown that swamped her slender frame.

The actress opted for a floor-length, plunging Constantina & Louise dress with ruched detailing around her stomach.

The look was further amplified by House of Emmanuele body jewellery and cuffs that trailed fabric from the gown—adding drama to an already extravagant ensemble. 

Courtney Act: 2004

The red carpet at the 2004 Logies saw some colourful characters. Drag queen Courtney Act, 37, set tongues wagging in a dress made entirely of photos of veteran entertainer Bert Newton

AFL WAG Rebecca Judd made a fashion risk in 2017 with a frock featuring an elaborate ruffled front and clashing pink and red lace 

The red carpet at the 2004 Logies saw some colourful characters. 

Drag queen Courtney Act turned heads in a one-of-a-kind dress made entirely from photos of veteran entertainer Bert Newton—an unforgettable tribute that had everyone talking. 

Rebecca Judd: 2017  

Footy WAG Rebecca Judd's J'Aton Couture frock was a fashion risk and featured an elaborate ruffled front and clashing pink and red lace.

Her soft curls and flawless makeup couldn’t be faulted, but the sheer, long-sleeved design sparked plenty of debate online. 

Cheryl Maitland: 2018

The former Married At First Sight star made her presence felt for all the wrong reasons. 

Cheryl wore a burgundy strapless frock with bizarre see-through mesh under the bust.

Newsreader Lee Lin Chin attended the 2015 red carpet in a white T-shirt frock with lace leggings and sleeves, and a statement black hat 

The excessive draping from the waist also overwhelmed Cheryl’s petite frame. 

Lee Lin Chin: 2015

And Lee Lin Chin never shies away from making a style statement: case in point, the 2015 Logie Awards.

That year, she wore a white T-shirt-style frock paired with lace leggings and sleeves, topped off with a dramatic black hat wrapped in tulle around her face and neck. 

Ash Williams: 2011 

Ash Williams took men’s fashion to wild new heights at the 2011 Logies. 

He arrived in tight metallic trousers, a silver jacket, and gold body paint smeared across his bare chest.

Former Neighbours star Caitlin Stasey made a statement at the 2015 Logie Awards when she sported a silver bull nose ring in her septum and wore an unflattering jumpsuit 

Susie Elelman put on an extremely eye-popping display in 2014 as she showcased her impressive cleavage in a plunging dress 

Caitlin Stasey: 2015

Former Neighbours star Caitlin Stasey made a bold statement at the 2015 Logies, wearing a silver bull nose ring in her septum and an ill-fitting jumpsuit that divided opinion. 

Susie Elelman: 2014 

Susie Elelman is known for being a fashion risk-taker who regularly flaunts her ample assets on the red carpet.

And in 2014, she put on an extremely eye-popping display as she showcased her impressive cleavage in a plunging dress.

Interestingly, it was the very same dress she wore to the Logies nearly two decades earlier, in 1995.
