misssimm is probably the only one interested....Casualty star Martina Laird is quitting as TV's Comfort Jones after five years.
But her character will not be killed off — leaving the door open for a possible comeback.
The star leaves the BBC1 soap in October after the return of notorious womaniser Dr Sean Maddox. The doc — back at Holby General after a six-year gap — is single again and makes an instant impression on Comfort.
An insider said: “Details are under wraps at the moment but let’s just say the ending’s a happy one.”
Dr Maddox, played by Gerald Kyd, 33, will also leave the show in the autumn.
Martina, 33, said last night: “It was a tough decision but we’re always happy to take up new challenges.
“I’m very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful people and play such a great character for five years.”
Paramedic Comfort has been an ALCOHOLIC, had DEPRESSION and been STABBED twice since joining the show.
Some of her final scenes will be in a 20th anniversary special set in Cambodia.
^*^*^
Not sure how I feel about this - never would have put Comfort and Sean together (he belongs with Tina, first last and always!)
Methinks it has more to do with Martina leaving than anything else - and lets face it, if anyone deserves a happy ending, it's Comfort!!
But it makes me sad - Tina and Sean had the best happy ending EVER (though I knowhelsinkibaby disagrees with me on that!) and they've just completely trashed that...
(Not that any of these misgivings will stop me watching of course!!)

Don't you love when TPTB do that. They bring back one part of the favorite couple but either kill off or break up the other. *glars at AMC*

OK, because my brain is mush at the mo, who are we talking about on AMC?

I remember reading that they tried to get KHC back, but he was either (a) not interested or (b) doing something else. But wasn't it one of those things where they said Noah was killed, but they never found the body?
Because lets face it, unless you see the body, (and sometimes even then!) they can always be brought back!!

If it's DAYS I will never believe anyone is dead ever again.
