Was just thinking about this the other day and thought I would see if anyone else agreed, I loved Jack Ellis as Jim Fenner in Bad Girls, he is a great actor and I would love to see him in EastEnders, it would add another to the Bad Girls reunion currently taking place on the show but I think he would be a great addition and I, personally would love to see Jack Ellis and Linda Henry work together again, they were brilliant as Yvonne and Fenner. He of course also worked with Kellie Bright, Luisa Bradshaw-White also. He has worked on Corrie, so has done soap before.
It would be great if he could be persuaded to join EastEnders, he hasn't been on TV for ages, that I know of.

He was offered a role in the show around the time he joined Corrie, a bad boy character, I think, and turned it down as he wanted to do something different. His Corrie character was a flop so he should've done EE instead. If he'd still consider a soap role then I would like to see him in it.

Oh! I wasn't aware that he had been offered a role previously!

I think he will be brilliant in EastEnders. He would be perfect as Sharon's father aka Kathy's husband, Gavin. I want him to share lots of scenes with Shirley. Loved Fenner and Yvonne

I'm sure one of the papers said it was to play a villain.

Agreed, I would love this. Wouldn't it be brilliant? He could fit in well as Sharon's dad and I would love him to share lots of scenes with Shirley too! (Bad Girls was such a good show - until about series6/ 7!). Whatever role, it would just be great to have him onboard.

Thanks for that, very interesting. I would love for them to try and get Jack Ellis on board again!

Yvonne Atkins was the breakout character in Bad Girls. She was massively popular and lots of people really enjoyed Yvonne's journey in Bad Girls. It went downhill when Yvonne died. I did enjoy Fenner's death and I wished it was Yvonne who killed him but she was already dead

Bodybag was hilarious all the time - did enjoy her xmas episode when the ghost of Natalie appeared in her dream

I agree! Yvonne Atkins was one hell of a character, one of thr best characters of that era, and still to this day, imo. It was such a shame LH left when she did, the show real did go downhill after Yvonne's death - which will forever be remembered! I liked how they did Fenner's death in the hanging cell but the ice dagger was craziness.

Bodybag was the best screw! I loved to hate Jim but Sylvia's one liners and general attitude to everything always made me laugh. Remember the one episode where Shell, Yvonne and the two Julie's gave her an e during her and Bobby's anniversary party?

Helen Fraser and Jack Ellis - both would be great in EastEnders.

Why is everyone obsessed over actors being reunited in ee. It seems it's most actors coming in now.

Oh, DTC should be reading this! Totally agree!

As for the whole reunion thing - like Bad Girls or not, it had some fantastic actors in it - especially in the early series.

I thought he was consistently great in Bad Girls, so I think he would be a great addition to the show, ideally in a permanent role. I'd definitely take him over the likes of Denise Van Outen 100x over.

I thought the same of Kika Miryless (Julie J) but they wasted her in some tedious role related to the equally tedious 'Minty'

I am still hoping we get an appearance from Jack Ellis on EastEnders one day!

I'm almost certain Gavin had already been cast.

I had hoped for Jack Ellis to play Gavin but It's unlikely. I would love to see him in the show in some capacity though and I would love to see him work with Linda Henry again.

I have no qualms about who he plays just so long as he is in the show! Imagine if he had played Buster.

"EastEnders had what Bad Girls had, a lot of confrontation. Coronation Street is different. Its sense of humour is more my cup of tea, which is why I said yes."
Unless he has a sudden change of heart, I can't see him in EastEnders

Corrie bombed for him unfortunately, but work is work, but they've probably are/have cast Gavin already.

It's strange he said that when Corrie is just as angsty as EastEnders now and has been that way for years.

I loved Jack in BG!

He was a complete and utter bastard but such a brilliant character and a BG revival would be great and also yes to Jack joining EE, he would be ideal for Sharon's dad!

I think because he is connected to Kathy & Sharon he will be a big name.

He's been in EE years ago as a minor character but I'm not sure he enjoyed it, particularly the shooting schedule!
