Saturday nights only mean one thing for Casualty fans - the latest instalment of all the drama at Holby City Hospital.

But this weekend, Casualty won't be showing - much to the disappointment of fans of the show.

Wimbledon will be showing in its place this Saturday night, meaning viewers won't get another episode until a fortnight's time.

It's safe to say that Casualty fans aren't happy with the news, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.

'I just realised that #Casualty is not on tomorrow and I am SAD,' wrote one fan on Twitter.

While another said, 'When you have to find something else to do because your favourite program isn’t on tomorrow Xx'

And a third wrote, looking forward to next week's instalment, 'Next week’s #Casualty, to absolutely no one’s surprise, is ‘How to Save a Life’.

Last week's episode received rave reviews from fans, who were eager to see what happens next.

'Finished #Casualty catch up and finally with the Jodie/Max reveal! Hope we see them rebuild. Have done a nice job so far of introducing the new nurses especially Jodie/Rida friendship. But omg Sah & Paige I love you both but how dare you do that to Teddy! He's the sweetest.'

While another said, 'Does anyone else think that Sars storyline in #Casualty is going to be that they go abroad for the top surgery and it gets bodged so they are either really ill or die. I do hope not.'
