Privacy Notice Casualty star Melanie Hill took a swipe at Coronation Street, just days after hinting at making a shock return. The actress, 62, who has played the role of Siobhan McKenzie in the BBC medical drama since February, appeared on This Morning where she appeared to compare the two shows. Melanie spoke about Casualty and told hosts Rochelle Humes and Dermot O’Leary that there is “so much going on in each episode”. She went on to seemingly compare the soaps, having previously starred in Coronation Street as Cathy Matthews from 2015 to 2022. The soap star added: “This is what makes Casualty different to a soap, because we’re involved with people having the worst day of their lives so the drama is ramped up immediately.
