Casualty<\/a> fans have shared their confusion over Saturday’s ‘missing’ BBC iPlayer<\/a> episode.<\/p>\n

The iconic medical series, which has been running since 1986, typically airs on Saturday night on BBC<\/a> One with episodes available to watch on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

However, fans tuning in for Saturday 2 May’s BBC iPlayer episode were left confused after noticing it wasn’t available on the platform.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter<\/a>, now X, one person said: “It’s 6:39am and #Casualty is yet to be released on @BBCiPlayer – Are they holding back tonight’s episode for some reason?”<\/p>\n

A different account joked: “DID BBC IPLAYER FORGET TO ADD TODAY’S EPISODE OF CASUALTY #Casualty”, another viewer wrote: “Going to miss the first 15 mins of #Casualty tonight because of the #BGT Semi Final and the EP hasn’t been released early on I player. I’ve also noticed they haven’t posted on X this week – is the ep even going to air?”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, a different fan commented: “@BBC @BBCiPlayer why isn\u2019t today\u2019s @BBCCasualty episode on BBC iPlayer yet? #casualty.”<\/p>\n

However, one viewer had a theory for the missing episode as they speculated: “I re-read the description and it states life and death situation so they could be keeping it back for a shocking death…”<\/p>\n

Casualty took to its official Instagram<\/a> page to confirm the listing, writing: “Casualty tonight 8:45pm on BBC One & BBC iPlayer.”<\/p>\n

Fans were also quick to comment on the post as one person wrote: “Now I\u2019m back for just waiting for casualty til tonight cause it\u2019s not on bbc player at 6:00am” to which another account put: “Why isn\u2019t it on iPlayer already?”<\/p>\n

Tonight’s synopsis for Lethal Legacy episode 2 of 12 reads: “The paramedics face a life-and-death situation in the call centre.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an insider told Digital Spy<\/a> about the episode: “Things have only just started to calm down in the emergency department. But the drama is only just getting started for the call handlers.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is in danger, and one wrong move could spark complete mayhem. You\u2019ll be on the edge of your seat while watching this play out.”<\/p>\n
