They sent me 2 big posters of the 2010 cast and the 2012 cast. I asked for individual actor cards, as I haven't had any new ones since the end of 2010, but they said they haven't made any for a while and don't have any for most of the current cast.

What address do you use when writing to the actors? I've had no success with individual letters to the Shortland Street cast, have written to almost all of them over the last 18 months and the only reply I had was from Peter Mochrie.

No EastEnders sucesses today

but i got
Chris Rankin (Percy Weasly HP ) took 43 days
Cameron Boyce (Luke Ross Jessie) took 52 days
Jessie J (Singer) took 9 days

I've only written to a couple of the current cast through the show's set itself, to Beth Allen and Amanda Billing and both replied within a few months. I used the PO Box address in Lincoln North.

The rest for older cast members have been through their agents or theatres where they've been starring in plays etc.

Cheers. I use the Lincoln North address too, though I've been trying newer cast members like Rachel Blampied and Rachel Forman through their agents, just to see if I have more success with that. Nothing so far, though.

Anyway, this morning I had an Emmerdale card from Tony Haygarth, dedicated and took 3 weeks.

Got 2 undedicated replies today, from Charlie Brooks and Jake Wood
