Casualty viewers respond to Rida's latest move

Casualty fans have voiced their concerns over one character's actions. During the latest instalment of Casualty of the 'Internal Affairs' storyline (which aired Saturday, 10th May 2025), viewers saw Rida grapple with reporting an incident of sexual assault by her colleague, Russell.
To expose Russell's actions, Rida decided to make an online group exposing misconduct by surgeons public.
But some fans had concerns over Rida's latest move.
'Oh Rida... You're playing a dangerous game. But, err, as a newbie group member, surely she shouldn't have had the the admin rights to make this problematic surgeons list public?' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).

Speaking about the emotive storyline, Sarah Seggari previously told Metro: "It’s only going to be more explosive. It’s going to have some twists and turns I really don’t think you’ll be expecting. It was a joy to film.
"You’ll see a very different side of Rida that we haven’t seen in the two years she’s been on telly. That was really fun to play."
