June Brown (Dot Cotton) Jerry Hall ! Jill Halfpenny (9 Chicago Strictly Come Dancing) Anita Dobson (Eastenders etc) Sara Crowe Gemma Atkinson Jill Baker Richenda Carey
Jack Ryder will play the photographer.
Joan Collins cant make up her mind but is due to be announced next week.
The show is now running until October wit this new cast from the end of June.
The new cast will play from 28 July to 17 October.
It would be fab if Joannie did join them, as her and Sara Crowe hate each other with a passion. The atmosphere backstage with an all female cast mixed with those two at each others throats will make for a great atmosphere on stage....and off!
I love this, it's like an Eastenders fan convention. But June Brown on stage... does this mean Nick and Dottie are going to succeed in doin' Ma in? They probably will; their acting is slowly killing me. Or is she going to come to a grizzly end in the explosion at the caff? Oh, so many questions, so many issues. Sara Crowe lives around the corner from me... if you see her close up, she's got one hell of a 'tache.
I'm disappointed that Ann Margaret didn't make it.
Joanie will needing extra sessions with her photographer to consider how she looks from every angle and in every possible lighting condition with just a teapot held against her, before she makes up her mind.
Maybe they should have gone for Linda Evans instead of Jerry Hall - then it would have been an EastEnders/Dynasty convention.
