If you’ve been watching Casualty for a while and thinking that Sarah Seggari was due a meaty storyline, Internal Affairs is must-see viewing, as it’s revealed Rida will be working alongside Russell and Nicole in the intense environment of life and death surgery.

Adding to this theory are a series of meaningful and loaded looks between the characters involved, a rooftop scene with Nicole and Rida where she channels The Godfather and reveals her intentions to: “Keep my friends close and keep my enemies even closer”, and the closing scene where she’s distressed and gasping for breath while dressed in bloody surgical scrubs.
It’s also worth remembering that Rida is a woman with a strong moral compass and has history as a whistleblower…
