Bernie will be introduced as a patient, before taking up a role on Keller ward. She will be on-screen for six months. Of her casting, Kent commented, "When we dreamed up the character of Bernie Wolfe, we immediately thought of Jemma Redgrave and we were utterly thrilled when she agreed to join the Holby Company. Bernie Wolfe will be a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to see her locking horns with our established regulars on the wards" Harper later confirmed that Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) would make her permanent return from November, following Marcel's maternity leave. Jac's return scenes aired in episode 7, which was broadcast on 24 November 2015.

Harper confirmed that a crossover event to sister show Casualty was being planned in celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2016. He also said that a new opening titles sequence was being looked at. The following month, Kent uploaded a picture of the title card to his Twitter account. A preview of the winter episodes of Holby City also displayed the end of the new titles.
