The end of an era… October 09, 2019 - 14:34 BST Diane Shipley Casualty star Cathy Shipton is filming her last scenes as Lisa "Duffy" Duffin on the iconic British medical TV show, as she revealed on Wednesday. The star, who first donned the character's nursing uniform back in 1986, is leaving as part of a heart-wrenching storyline.

Other fans commented on how much her portrayal had meant to them personally, writing: "Oh Cathy! I have grown up watching you play Duffy for years, it was through Duffy that I wanted to be a nurse," and: "My father died last November of dementia, to see close family not recognising you and how the person changes is heart breaking.
