Honey Wright is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Casualty, played by Chelsee Healey. She first appears in the series twenty-nine episode "The Last Call", originally broadcast on 11 October 2014. Honey is introduced as the new tea lady in the emergency department (ED) of Holby City Hospital. The character and Healey's casting details were announced in May 2014. Producers approached Healey's agent about a role as a nurse, but she struggled with the medical terminology, so the character of Honey was created instead. The actress was contracted for four months as a semi-regular character and began filming in May 2014. Honey is characterised as a vivacious person who is "fun, bubbly, nice" and caring. Despite being based in the ED's coffee shop, Honey travels around the department with a tea trolley. She has a pink car with big eyelashes attached to the headlamps.
The character's arrival contrasts the sombre mood of the funeral of regular character Jeff Collier (Matt Bardock). Writers created a secret for the character and it emerges that she is the long-lost daughter of established character Noel Garcia (Tony Marshall). Another story for the character involved her second job as a pole dancer. Healey had to pole dance for the scenes, which she initially found embarrassing. Producers paired Honey in a romance with registrar Ethan Hardy (George Rainsford), but the relationship is marred by Ethan's shyness and interference from Noel and Ethan's friend Lily Chao (Crystal Yu). Honey leaves Holby for five months and upon her return, the relationship ends. She departs again in the series thirty episode "Cradle to Grave", originally broadcast on 19 September 2015. The character received a positive response from viewers and critics alike.
