Charlie Brooks, Mike Reid, Sid Owen and Sophie Lawrence are all in secret talks to return to Eastenders for Janine's court case next summer at first producers were not going to have Janine's court case on screen but because of popular demand ee bosses want it to happen a show insider has said 'producers want all the butchers back for one last time and Janine's court case is the best way to do it viewers will also see Pat lie in the dock and one last confrontation with Frank and Peggy'

<<<
back for one last time
>>>

Another one last time?!?! How many more one last times do these people want?! It would be good to see Janine get a proper send-off, but I think this is a bit of a fishy story.

chuff.x.

Well it has already been revealed about Mike Reid having secret talks and Mal Young said last week he wanted a big Janine court case so I don't know it could be true.

So what you're saying it might not be true after you've just made a thread telling everyone on here that it is true?!

Do you have a source for this?

It is on soaps r us the spoiler site.

IF this is true, how many times can Mike Reid state he'll never return to EE's then ehhh return?

Who did Sohphie Lawrence play and also want to add I can't wait for a Janine courtcase, I did'nt tihnk one was going to be shown like are they waiting thil Charlie Brooks gives birth?

Sophie Lawrence played Diane Butcher Janines older sister there is also another sister called Claire so she would have to play some part as she raised Janine.

Claire was played by ex-Corrie star Caroline O'Neill (she played Andrea Clayton in Corrie). Would be nice to have the whole Butcher Clan together as its never been done! (As far as i know)

Well whether its true or not, I would LOVE to see this happen, it would be great.

this is a really good idea it will be great to see them all together again!

Sid bloody Owen. Again. Give me strength. Can't he go release another cod-reggae piece-of-shit and keep out of Walford. Without Bianca, Ricky is useless. Last stint he didn't even bother acting.

Yeh Dippy Ricky, it be good to see him back with his dear old dad again though, but definitely he shouldn't hang abaut after the trial. Will this lead to Janine's introduction back to Walford? Isn't she already in prison like.

I cant wait for Mike Reid and Charlie Brooks back... they are fantastic! Frank and Janine are like my fav characters!!!! (LOL )

I should be some very good episodes I think

A very interesting turn of events. I actually hope it does happen!

would be a great story line and bring in alot of viewers, paul trueman would also need to return for these special episodes as hes leaving

Was Mal Young in charge of the Mandy and Beth Jourdache murder trial for the death of Trevor - because that has to be the most realistic court case on a soap yet - but i think they should wait untill LB's been sacked before they even go there.

Yes he did do that if it is true about it being next summer LB leaves in january so people have been saying

are you sure about sophie lawrence as she is in the UK stage tour of "Boogie Nights 2 - the 80's musical "
which runs until may next year with David Essex and scott robinson (from the boy band five) here is one of the posters for the show http://www.5iveusa.com/last/BoogiePosterL.jpg

well if its just for a few episodes it would be ok i would think

Sounds good to me.

i suppose, but i think it would be difficult to schedual filming before the tour finishes unless she takes a break from the stage tour as she is meant to be on stage 6 nights and 1 or 2 matinees a week. it is not even as if she is in the west end so she can commute to and from the london studios as it is a national uk tour.

how far ahead does EE film, as if it is not going to be shown until the summer, then it may not film until after Boogie Nights 2 has toured

Well maybe if they do go ahead with the court case - maybe it won't be shown untill the end of 2005 as part of their Autumn schedule ??

Sid Owen ???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
