Olly Rix, who plays Flynn Byron on the BBC medical drama, is rumored to be dating a co-star from the show, which he left Call the Midwife.
Olly Rix is said to be dating one of his Casualty co-stars. The speculation comes after it was previously rumoured last year that he had grown close to colleague Helen George, who plays his on-screen wife on Call the Midwife.
The actor, 40, is now rumoured to have grown close to Anna Chell, 28, since joining the BBC medical drama. Olly made his debut as Flynn Byron on Casualty this year, whilst Anna, who plays Jodie Whyte, has been in the cast since 2023.
The show’s co-stars are now said to have a “blossoming romance” while co-starring. According to the teaser, there may be “hints” of chemistry between them in scenes on Casualty starring their characters.
He is in a “good place,” according to a source who spoke to the Sun. Olly is currently in a really good place right now, according to them, after finding himself uncomfortably thrust into the spotlight toward the end of his time on Call the Midwife.
He was then “settled” into life on the show, they continued. They claimed that over the past year, he has quickly adapted to his new role on Casualty, found a new home in Cardiff, where the drama is shot, and is having a blossoming romance with Anna.
The source then made fun of the alleged romance. According to them, “Devotees of the drama will undoubtedly be analyzing their scenes together to see if there are any hints of chemistry between them,” assuming they haven’t already spotted any.”
Olly and Anna are said to have appeared in social media posts together recently. The outlet added that they were seen carving each another’s names into stone in content shared by him over the weekend on his Instagram page.
Olly made his acting debut on Casualty earlier this year in a March episode that was broadcast. Since then, his character Flynn has continued to appear on the show as a new clinical lead consultant at Holby City ED.
Olly joined cast members like Anna, who had already been on the show for two years. She made her first appearance as nursing recruit Jodie in April 2023, with her debuting alongside co-stars Barney Walsh and Sarah Seggari.
It was announced earlier this year that Olly moved from London to Cardiff to be closer to the BBC’s Roath Lock Studios, where most of the show is filmed. OK! magazine reported that he had been visited by loved ones and he shared: “Work is such a privilege and so much fun, and it can be profoundly pivotal and moving and revelatory, but it’s still just work. It’s not going to hold you at the end, so I know that friends and family are everything.”
Prior to joining the show, Olly played Matthew Aylward on Call the Midwife from 2021 until his exit last year. He was rumoured to have grown close to Helen, 41, who plays Trixie Aylward, at one point after both becoming single.
His connection to Helen previously attracted attention. A spokesperson for her had suggested it was just a friendship in 2023 though, prior to reports in September last year that she had joined a dating app after she ‘split’ from Olly.
