Storm, don’t feel bad. I thought the one playing Gemma was in her 30s and she’s 51 ! She looks good for her age and its not a close up photo , but even so .. 😆

EmeraldShamrock000 · 31/07/2026 15:33

I loved the scene with Nicola and Eve. They could be good friends, a scary pair but friends.

storminabuttercup · 31/07/2026 15:33

we we’re all confused by how only Nic and jumpers were meant to be at the start too if I remember correctly

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 15:37

Nicola had been inside for using fake botox at the start and appeared a little while after jumpers . I can actually see her back inside with Ian and Gray and Rocky and Ben in the grey sweater. One more the spin off ‘ insiders ‘ featuring all our favourite inmates.
Prisoner cell block E.

Don't feel bad Storm, the photo is dreadful, I had to google too!

Ben should be released around now, last October when he returned he said he had a reduced sentence. At the time was hinted the actor would return permanently a bit later, but it now seems it was one of those pointless guest appearances.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 15:58

I liked Ben. He was a good actor.
People online not too impressed with the new family! Have to give them a chance , but if Rose is another Peggy I won’t be happy. There was only ever one Peggy Mitchell.

BitLippie · 31/07/2026 15:59

I like Nicola. Not sure about a whole new family, but at least they’ve cast normal, jobbing actors and not novelty celebrities.

They do need to try a bit harder with the families they’ve launched over the last few years, though! Nicola is a great character, but they got rid of Jumpers (or he left?) too quickly. George & E-Laine running the Vic all crashed rather quickly, too.

Agree that Nic’s sister and:or brother in law will be shagging around within weeks.

Her sister with George, maybe?
Her BIL with Sharon? Or Chelsea?

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:11

Ahh! The new brother in law ( ned ) may go off with Chelsea ..
Might explain the NYD comments about her by Nicola with the broken foot.
Speculation online , they take on the pub .. !
They may be loaded if they have sold up in kent .

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:13

Jumpers didn’t want to be Teddy anymore. Can’t say I blame him tbh. He was rather one dimensional at times.
A new head and jumpers may happen, but he is on a murder charge. Like a lot of them , his inside.

hotmumshit · 31/07/2026 16:39

Theyre bringing Janine back for a pointless guest appearance

For the money they spend on these they may as well train up actors to be in the show long term 🙄

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:44

Yep, the guest appearances are silly.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:44

I suppose they will keep the twins on even when Zoe dies ;(

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:47

I forgot to add Teddy to the list of those in prison.
No wonder they are all
overcrowded.

Alucard55 · 31/07/2026 16:48

Sorry who is the woman with black hair and glasses?

Alucard55 · 31/07/2026 16:49

That's quite a lot of characters all at the same time.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:49

The lady in the black jacket is Jodie, the youngest sister.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:50

The boy with the dog definitely looks like a Freddie mark two! Hard to know , but they all look quite loud and will probably be like the Millers or the slaters.

Shellingbynight · 31/07/2026 16:52

I said the same @Alucard55
We don't need the mother or the extra sister, too many of them.

Teddy and Kheerat must be hanging on together unseen on another wing of the prison.🙄

The guest appearances worked well when it was for the anniversary, but this producer is continuing with it for no good reason.

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 16:53

Kheerat ! ..another one ! Lol

BitLippie · 31/07/2026 17:40

So currently banged up off the Square

Ian
Gray
Keerat
Jumpers
Ben
Rocky

Anyone else?

I’m telling you, EE needs a post-watershed prison spin off !

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 17:47

I’d definitely watch a prison version of EE. Could be fun
Throw Chrissie in the mix too ( back in for something or another ) and they could have their own wing and some dishy prison officers. The theme tune wouid be slightly different and show Wandsworth instead of the 02. Rocky knows the prison main man in charge , so he’d have the posh cell with all the mod cons.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 31/07/2026 18:57

Walford Prison must have a revolving door !
The only one who hasn't been inside is Billy -and he's one I'd have put money on . Maybe a night in the cells to cool his heels .

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 19:01

They have all had a prison stint of some kind haven’t they! Suki managed to stay out of it , but only because her son took the blame.
Even if they haven’t been inside , they go for visits.
It’s just part of the life of a soapy character isn’t it, that and hospitals and being injured.

Bellmarsh is nearer , I don't know if it shows up on the intro but it's close .
But a Catergory A .
So not for the likes of our Ian .

the80sweregreat · 31/07/2026 19:07

I suppose I thought of Wandsworth as it sounded like Walford ! Lol
I had a colleague who used to be a prison officer , he was a bit odd , but as my friend said ‘ he worked in a prison ‘ ! I’m sure they are not all like him though!
Can’t be an easy job to do at all. I couldn’t
