As well as being promoted senior consultant, Zoe was also promoted to trauma lead in 2010. When Nick Jordan (Michael French) went on leave in July 2012, Zoe resigned from her trauma lead and was appointed clinical lead until Nick returned in January 2013. Zoe was then made permanent clinical lead when Nick left the following month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nick Jordan )〕 In June 2014, after a helicopter crash, Zoe realised she wasn't fit for the role of Clinical Lead and passed the role over to Connie Beauchamp (Amanda Mealing).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Connie Beauchamp - Casualty Profile )〕 On 16 August 2014, Erika Hossington, the producer of ''Casualty'', confirmed that Sarker had taken a break and that Zoe would leave on 23 August. Zoe returned in episode eight of series 29 "Return to Sender", accompanied by the surprise returnee that Hossington confirmed,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Casualty )〕 who was later revealed as Dylan Keogh (William Beck).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Series 29 - 9. Entrenched )〕 Zoe's storylines have included: an affair with married man, Sean Anderson (Richard Dillane); being blackmailed for her affair with a fifteen-year-old while unaware of his age;〔 relationships with Nick Jordan and Matt Strong (Raymond Coulthard); close friendships with Dylan Keogh, Tess Bateman (Suzanne Packer), Martin Ashford (Patrick Robinson), Mads Durrani (Hasina Haque) and Linda Andrews (Christine Tremarco); discovering she is infertile; helping Abby Evans (Amy Manson) who is being abused, then fostering and planning to adopt Abby's daughter, Sharice Brooks (Adrianna Bertola) after Abby is killed; forging Nick's signature so that he could have brain surgery operated on him;〔 a rivalry with Connie Beauchamp over the running of the emergency department; a well-received May–December romance with Max Walker (Jamie Davis), which saw them get married; and an explosive wedding reception endangering various lives. ==Development== Prior to appearing in ''Casualty'', Sarker had played a guest role in sister show ''Holby City''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We'll Meet Again )〕 Sarker describes Zoe as: "strong, cheeky and rebellious." In 2009, during Zoe's fostering storyline, Sarker commented on her character's feelings, saying: "she felt very guilty about Sharice's mother dying and being partially to blame for it all and I think she's tried to do the right thing.". Sarker then continued, claiming that Zoe was "layered in a lot of selfishness, a lot of righteousness, a lot of pigheadedness". Later on, having given up Sharice, Zoe then embarks on a relationship with department head Nick Jordan.〔 Sarker explained that Zoe and Nick have a very interesting dynamic" and that: "You can see that they're very similar people which would make them allies or enemies. () Zoe's the first female to meet Jordan's professional standards. She's no pussycat and Jordan knows that. He's got a certain amount of respect for her, as she has for him. Characterising the relationship, Sarker explained: "They've both been single for a very long time through their own choices and neither of them feel any pressure or expectations, which is a good combination for something to happen. I think this is the grown-up version of a flirtation. It's a bit more factual with these two; there isn't much softness or gooeyness to them. They are more like steel on steel!" In 2012, after the characters of Sam and Dylan were revealed to be married, ''Casualty'' producer Nikki Wilson teased Zoe's relationship to ''Inside Soap'' with Dylan saying, "The relationship between Dylan and Zoe is very interesting, because when we first mentioned the obvious chemistry between the pair to the actors who play them (Beck and Sunetra Sarker ), they genuinely had no idea! So in one way it's great that they're not playing it in that way. But we really enjoy their banter, and there's definitely a lot more stuff to happen between them. Whether they'll get together remains to be seen...." In 2014, series producer Erika Hossington spoke to ''Digital Spy'' about future plans for Zoe, saying that one of three standalone episodes aired by the series would be centred around Zoe, "The second standalone is an episode for Zoe, which has been written by Barbara Machin. It's a 'What if?'-themed episode." Hossington also revealed that Sarker had temporarily departed the show and that Zoe's exit scenes would air on 23 August, "That was because Sunetra Sarker, who has been fantastically faithful to Casualty over the last few years, just wanted to have a bit of time out. That gave us an opportunity to come up with a new story for the character." Hossington also spoke about Zoe's relationship with Max, saying that is was the light relief she needed whilst clinical lead, but when the audience began engaging into their relationship, they became pleased with the fanbase. She continued to state they are "great" together as well as comparing them to ''Moonlighting's'' Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis.〔 Hossington also revealed that following their rivalry, Connie and Zoe would call a truce.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zoe Hanna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
