Frequently Asked Questions
Did Simon leave Casualty because of his illness, as mentioned in several newspapers
I can only answer this from what I know about Simon and it’s mostly and educated guess – tho I’m fairly sure I correct
I really don’t believe it to be true. When we did our first interview with Simon in very early 2007 which was before he found out he had terminal cancer he said he felt his time on Casualty was coming to an end.
I really don’t believe he left because of his illness, I feel he would have left when he did even if he didn’t find out how ill he was a few months later. I don’t like the way some of the articles have phrased it, as it makes him look like a quitter – which Simon isn’t
Newspapers are trying to sell and story and will write whatever will sell the most
