Casualty star Melanie Hill reveals storyline she'd love Siobhan to be part of
Hill joined the medical drama this year.
Having joined Casualty at the start of this year, Melanie Hill's Siobhan Mackenzie has continued to ruffle some feathers.
The clinical nurse manager has plenty of years of experience on the job, and has been tackling some of the pressing issues of the Emergency Department head-on - but it seems as though Hill is eyeing up some more drama in Siobhan's life.
Chatting exclusively to RadioTimes.com about what kind of storyline she'd like her character to be a part of, Hill said: "Maybe a romance with an absolutely gorgeous doctor that gets up to all sorts, who knows?
"She’s not that old, she’s still got a bit of life left in her bones. Yeah, you never know, that’d be quite nice.”
Revealing some of her favourite things about playing Siobhan, Hill also admitted that she thinks she's quite similar to her on-screen character.

She said: "I think I'm kind of close to her because I've got my kids [who] have grown up, her kids have grown up, moved away from home, and she's taken all help.
"She was obviously very protective over all of her staff, all the nurses. I think that's similar to me, really, in the way I've joined the cast, my kids have grown up, moved away, and I've adopted all the younger cast in Casualty, really."

Siobhan's arrival on the scene signalled a shift in the Emergency Department dynamic, with her striving to bring the team back together, while also using her wealth of expertise and knowledge to try and keep those department standards high.
But of course, that doesn't stop the drama from unfolding on the BBC medical series.
Sharing a little bit of insight into some of the other brewing on-screen romances, Hill said: "Well, that's it, [look at] Faith and Ian, because they're getting on really well at the minute. So watch that space, because you never know what might happen there.
"There might be a joyous future for them. I think it will be."
Casualty is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
