Joseph Millson was introduced as AAU's new
trauma registrar Luc Hemingway. Millson described the character as someone who "winds everybody up" without realising that he is doing so. Young expanded, "Luc is an enigmatic stranger whose diagnostic genius and acerbic wit make him a brilliant doctor but an occasionally infuriating colleague. Joseph's created an intriguing, complex and riveting character who will most definitely bring a new dimension to the AAU ward." New Foundation Training 1 doctor Tara Lo (
Jing Lusi) joined the show on 6 March 2012, followed by the introduction of experienced consultant general surgeon Serena Campbell (
