Exclusive interviews with the Casualty cast

Will Thorp aka Woody
Actor: Will Thorp


Role: Paramdic

Q. How does Woody end up in A&E on his first day?
WILL:Woody's having a relationship with this lady and he's in a sauna. She tells him to come and see her when her husband's away but Woody says he can't because he's going to a football match. But she goes ballistic and locks him in the sauna. Then the paramedics get called out to this posh house where's this guys been locked in a sauna with these bondage style fluffy handcuffs! They break the door down, rush me to hospital with just a little towel over me. They ask me what my occupation is and he's sidestepping the issue but eventually Josh turns up and tells them I'm a paramedic and that it was my first day. Not exactly the best start for me!

Q. Was the sauna fully heated?
WILL: I haven't filmed the sauna scene. The sauna's stuff is next week and I hope it's not going to be too cold. The costume lady actually gave me a pair of flesh coloured pants, the tiniest pants I've ever seen and said that was an option.

Q. What was it like acting naked?
WILL: Well I've only filmed one scene as it's my first week. It was ok but you're nervous on your first day on a job anyway and having to come in and take your kit off and then maybe nine million people may watch your first day as well. I know Rebekah as we did a play together before and funnily enough I was naked in that as well.
