Will they be cast soon, and be on screen before the summer! What are your thoughts, who should play Sylvie? Elaine has been talked about alot!

I think Sylvie will have to be a very harsh character, cold, but seeking help and vulnerable.

I think Maggie Steed would be a great actress to play Sylvie!

    Jean Marsh would be a fantastic casting to play Sylvie would love to see her and Timothy West (Stan) have scenes together

    I think Sylvie is dying but Elaine will be a recurring guest character like Aunt Sal.

    I think Helen Fraser should play one of them as she played a very cold hearted character in Bad Girls so I think she would be great for this part

    I don't want them both to be full time as it'll turn into the Branning overload all over again imo

    I don't think we will meet Elaine anytime soon, I know she is being refernced lots and we have seen Linda talk on the phone to her but I can see her being one of these unseen characters, like Fat Elvis. No doubt we may meet her one day but it won't be yet.

    Elaine should be Vicki Michelle. I think Jean Marsh won't be a bad choice (but she suffered a stroke). Jane Asher could be a big name to glitz up the show. I wish Ann Mitchell could pay Sylvie Carter.

    The only actress I could think of to play Sylvie is Sheila Hancock - facially similar to Linda Henry - but of course she'd be out of the running having already played the rather notorious role of Steve Owen's mother

    Maggie Steed would be perfection in casting, a formidable actress with many years experience.

    Turning into a bit of a stampede of Carters at the moment.

    Linda Henry played Mandy's mum and Mandy didn't seem to notice upon her return that her mother had a new head and that the old head was wandering round the square atop someone calling them self Shirley.

    I wonder if they've ever tried to get Alison Steadman? She is an absolute dream casting for me. I just see her sitting with her rollers in on the other end of the phone everytime she is referenced.

    Cornelia Frances who was in Sons & Daughters and Home and Away springs to my mind as Shirley's mum.

    Yes! Helen Fraser! To have Helen and Linda working together again would be amazing!
