Ex-Corrie star joins 'Casualty'

Paul Fox will join the cast of Casualty, reports the Holby Gazette.

The former Coronation Street actor will take on the role of Simon Turner, who arrives on the show this month as a clinical nurse manager.

His character will run a private minor injuries clinic within an NHS hospital, something that will put him at odds with the rest of the staff.

Fox played Mark Redman, the long-lost son of Mike Baldwin, in Coronation Street. He has also appeared in The Royal and Starhunter.

The character will make his first appearance on Casualty on May 31.
