Honey Wright is a fictional character from the BBC medical drama Casualty, played by Chelsee Healey.

Honey is introduced as the new tea lady in the emergency department (ED) of Holby City Hospital.

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.

On 19 May 2014, it was announced that actress Chelsee Healey had joined Casualty as tea lady Honey Wright.

[1] Oliver Kent, the show's executive producer, expressed his delight at Healey's casting and opined that she would "bring her unique combination of bounce and style" to the role.

[2] Healey's agent was approached by the Casualty production team to arrange her casting and discussions took place over multiple months.

It was originally planned for Healey to portray a nurse, but she struggled with the medical terminology, so they rewrote the role to make her a tea lady instead.

[5] Healey previously portrayed Janeece Bryant on Waterloo Road and felt that the characters were very similar.

Hossington liked this aspect of the character and compared her to Hayley Pearce in the documentary The Call Centre, saying that she "pops up everywhere".

[4] Healey told Sean Marland of What's on TV that "Honey bursts in with her bright colours and her big mouth" as her new colleagues are grieving.

[4] While travelling for her first shift, Honey finds an injured woman, so she puts her in her car and brings her to the ED.

[5] Rainsford told Elaine Reilly of What's on TV that Ethan and Honey have not been in relationships with people like each other.

[12] Rainsford explained that Ethan is attracted to Honey, but his "shyness and fear of failure" prevent him progressing the relationship further.

[11] Ethan uses Valentine's Day as an opportunity to tell Honey about his feelings, but struggles due to his self-doubts.

As Ethan prepares to tell Honey, she takes a phone call and learns that her grandmother requires immediate care.

[16] The break-up becomes public knowledge and Honey has to confess to her job as a pole dancer, leaving Noel believing he has "let his girl down".

Honey tells Noel that she wants to become a beauty therapist, so he offers her a loan to start her own business.

[5] Holly Wade, writing for the Radio Times, billed Honey as "the happy-go-lucky tea lady of the show", adding that she is "fun and bubbly with a big personality".

[18] Ellis (Inside Soap) described her as "bubbly" and thought that Honey did not "pick the best day to make her ED debut".
