The actor, who played senior charge nurse Charlie Fairhead, was the longest-serving cast member when he departed from the BBC series in 2024, having joined the show when it first began in 1986.
But two years on from Charlie's exit, it appears the character is returning to the wards, with reports claiming the star is already filming on set in Wales."Fans will be delighted to see Charlie," a source told The Sun. "The character was never killed off and the door was left open for a return. Viewers will have to wait to see how Charlie’s storyline pans out."
Radio Times understands that Thompson’s role will be a temporary appearance rather than a permanent return.
In recent years, the character also supported Duffy through her heartbreaking battle with vascular dementia ahead of her death.
Since departing from Casualty, Thompson has starred as retired police officer Robin Graham in Northern Irish police drama Blue Lights.
