Casualty has returned to screens, and there's a new paramedic that has everybody talking.
Indie Jankowski (played by Naomi Wakszlak) has entered the show as a student paramedic — and she's already made a big impression, with some Casualty viewers calling newcomer Indie an 'icon'.
During the latest instalment of Casualty (which aired Saturday 11th January 2024) viewers saw Indie thrust into a difficult situation, helping a victim of a drive-by shooting who was secretly carrying a gun.
The young paramedic displayed quick reactions, persuading the man to surrender his gun by urging him to get treatment for his leg.
'Loving Indie already,' wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
