Casualty is set for some more drama this week as character Patrick Onley is at risk of being exposed for causing a rise in patient deaths by his medical staff. As things heat up for the on-screen doctor, portrayed by Jamie Glover, on Saturday, 2 June, who is the actor off-screen?

Jamie joined the soap in March this year as the Clinical Lead for Holby City Hospital, but isn’t new to Wyvern, having previously guest starred on Holby City over the years. More notably, Jamie is known for his role in BBC drama Waterloo Road – portraying English teacher Andrew Treneman.
He first appeared on Waterloo Road in 2006 and re-joined the show with a memorable comeback last year. Over the years, his character Andrew has found himself in the midst of several gripping plotlines, including his tumultuous on-again-off-again romance with Angela Griffin’s character, art teacher Kim Campbell, which never seems to run smoothly.

However, when the cameras stop rolling, actor Jamie enjoys a much more laid-back life away from the hospital and schoolyard – while he has had considerably more luck in love than his on-screen personas!

Born in Barnes, London on 10 July 1969, Jamie attended the Frensham Heights School in Farnham, Surrey, before heading to the Central School of Speech and Drama to perfect his acting craft.

After graduation, Jamie’s first professional gig was in the sci-fi soap opera Jupiter Moon, followed by a string of smaller roles in shows such as Midsomer Murders and New Tricks.

Alongside TV, Jamie has also dabbled in theatre since making his debut at the age of eight in Coriolanus at Stratford.

Away from work, Jamie lives in Brixton with his wife Sasha Behar, who played Maya Sharma in Coronation Street from 2003 to 2004. Maya, who was once entangled in a dramatic love triangle with Dev Alahan and his wife Sunita on the show, even held them hostage and set their building ablaze.

In real life, Sasha is nothing like her notorious soap character. She’s now known for voicing Sergeant Rose Ravani in the children’s programme Fireman Sam, or for her role in the Apple TV series Foundation.

She and Jamie are doting parents to two children but have kept their family life fairly private. The duo both appear to have kept away from social media, with neither of them holding public Instagram accounts.
