And yet another fan said: “Watching Sah on #Casualty getting the date for their top surgery was an utterly joyful moment.”
Sah is played by Arin Smethurst, who has previously praised Casualty for how it has handled transgender issues.
They said: “I am glad because they came in as the first regularly occurring trans character, and the first non-binary character and I think it it would have been very easy to just be like ‘this is what the character is but that is a part of them and there are hundreds of other facets to them.

Arin added to Digital Spy: “It was great to have a proper, really chunky story to hold on to and work on in terms of the character, and not just their queer identity which would have been boring and easy. It’s been really nice to have a meaty backstory to dig into.”
