Watch out, Holby City Hospital! There’s a blast from the past on the wards this week as actor Leslie Ash reprises her role as Chief Executive Officer Vanessa Lytton after an 11-year hiatus.
The Men Behaving Badly star made her debut as the character in BBC1’s Holby City in October 2009, where a six-month-long storyline saw Vanessa cause chaos for her colleagues. This time she will appear in its Saturday-night sister series, Casualty.
