Today Update! đď¸đđ Casualty exclusive: Milo Clarke on Teddy being killed off fears â ‘Nothing is guaranteed’
As part of Casualtyâs much loved paramedic quintet actor Milo Clarke has recently found himself front and centre in the BBC medical dramaâs current 12-part miniseries Supply and Demand.
There have been shocking twists and turns as his character, Teddy Gowan, has gone to extreme lengths to keep his heart health issues secret from his friends and family â even going as far as to take drugs while out clubbing in a recent episode.
Yet, the truth will out â and Teddyâs tissue of lies unravels this week when his colleague Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) catches him stealing medication from a dead man.
Keen to know more What to Watch invited Milo for a one-to-one chat to find out exactly whatâs happening with the fan-favourite.
Here, in an exclusive interview, Milo tells us moreâŚ
Milo, why hasnât Teddy told anyone that his heart problems have resurfaced?
âBasically heâs started feeling symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, racing heart and palpations, but heâs covering them up because heâs worried about losing his job. For everyone who doesnât know, back in March 2022 Teddy fainted and fell out of a tree, which led to him being diagnosed with a condition called atrial septal defect. He needed surgery and since then heâs taken medication and lives with it every day â but now, because of the drug crisis in Holby, heâs struggling to get his medicine.â
That makes it even more shocking that he took drugs with his ex-girlfriend, nurse Jodie Whyte, last week, doesnât it?
âYes! And I did query it when I read the scripts because I feel that Teddyâs very conscientious and Iâm not sure heâd do that, especially if it meant losing his job. But it was explained to me that itâs because of how much heâs struggling and how much he wants to cover it up and show that heâs on top form. Also he really just wanted to let loose. With everything going on at Holby, the younger medics wanted to take the shackles off for one night and have fun, so they went clubbing. But Teddy and Jodie [Anna Chell] got carried away with the drinks and the music and took drugs.â
Weâre used to seeing Teddy in high octane rescue scenes, how was it filming something so different?
âIt was so much fun to do. The director of this episode, Conor Morrissey, who I love working with, came in and said he wanted viewers who love clubbing to want to be there, so it was filmed at a big nightclub in Cardiff. There were so many supporting actors there, the lighting was brilliant, and, as much as we could, we had music to dance to. Sometimes scenes with music feel cringey [due to lack of music when filming] but we had music a lot of the time and it really does help, although some filming definitely had to be music-less in order to get a clean take. Itâs an actorâs job to throw yourself into stuff that everybody else would think, âWhat are you doing?’â

We see a little bit of Teddyâs old spark with Jodie during those scenes too. Could romance be back on the cards for them?
âItâs just a bit of an old flirt thing with Jodie on the night because theyâre in a euphoric state. I think what Teddy probably needs is time to get his head together. Basically, I donât think heâs looking for romance and if anything does happen, itâs going to be something that he wouldnât expect.â
This week Teddy is on shift with Iain Dean when he gets caught stealing. What more can you reveal?
âItâs huge. He steals heart medication thatâs been prescribed to an older gentleman whoâs unfortunately passed away, which goes against protocol. Teddyâs reasoning is that the medication wasnât going to be used, so itâs not the worst thing in the world if it helps him, but Iain is someone who lives by protocol.â
Was it special filming such intense scenes with Michael?
âYes, Iain and Teddy are really close, and itâs funny, because Iain and Teddy really do remind me of myself and Mike, because weâre genuinely really close too, so I love playing storylines that mirror our relationship. Thereâs a two-hander in this episode between them in an ambulance and I actually love that scene because of the dialogue and how itâs two people just talking. I remember it getting to me because it felt quite sad while we were doing it. I think itâs because both characters are going through things that theyâre both trying to keep private â Iainâs had bad news about his mum and Teddy has his heart issues.â
