the story with his actual daughter because they have a strong relationship, which he believed could be seen on-screen. Other appearances Alongside his appearances in Holby City, Barrett has played Sacha in the show's sister serial Casualty. Producers of the two shows created a crossover special, "CasualtyXHolby", which spans over an episode of each show. Sacha takes a prominent role in the crossover when he is involved in a car accident with Beka, resulting in characters from Casualty having to save them. Barrett explained that although Beka receives the immediate help, Sacha actually has a more severe injury; he later collapses and requires surgery. Barrett filmed with Casualty at the Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff for two weeks and enjoyed being involved in a big stunt, since they were infrequently seen on Holby City. The special was originally broadcast in March 2019. Holby City was cancelled in June 2021 after 23 years on air and the finale aired in March 2022. Barrett suggested that characters could appear in Casualty following the end of series. In October 2022, actor Jason Durr, who portrays David Hide in Casualty, posted an image of him and Barrett to his social media. This sparked rumours that Barrett could appear in Casualty, which the BBC confirmed to Stefania Sarrubba of Digital Spy. Sacha will appear in a "special episode" broadcast in 2023 as part of series 37. Reception A reporter from the Evening Chronicle branded him "the permanently disorganised Sacha". A writer of the Teesside Gazette said that they would never consider Sacha as a "dark horse" type of character. A Daily Mirror critic jested "Bumbling doctor Sacha has never been lucky in love himself, so it's no surprise that he thinks the worst when he sees Essie becoming friendly with a colleague." A What's on TV reporter said "Sacha Levy has always been Holby’s Mr Happy-Go-Lucky" and "Sacha Levy is always the one Holby City consultant people can rely." Sue Haasler writing for Metro, praised Barrett's performance during his depression storyline. She opined that "Bob Barrett is a naturally smiley actor, but I loved how for most of the episode he somehow managed to keep the customary twinkle out of his eyes – we could see that Sacha was putting on a brave face and wasn't really happy."
