Okerafor will be playing locum registrar Matthew, who has a history of practicing medicine in the world’s trouble spots and, according to a statement released by the broadcaster, a “deep and enduring love for old flame Fenisha”.
We can’t imagine Ethan will be too thrilled about this development, especially if there’s still a spark between the pair.
Lawless joins as new consultant Stevie, though details about her character are yet to be revealed.
