Filming begins on Monday with the original British drama set to air on BBC One this coming Autumn/Winter. Six one hour episodes have been commissioned by Charlotte Moore.

The creator of Life on Mars/former EastEnders writer, Matthew Graham, has been heavily involved and is said to have written the episodes alongside Lauren Klee and Matthew Barry who also write for EastEnders among other shows.

The majority of filming will be taking place in County Waterford in Ireland, specifically the coastal tourist village, Dunmore East. (with Dublin also expected to feature)

Richie and Wallace (Alfie & Kat) recently told TEN the cast and crew of the spin-off show are mainly Irish and revealed a "big name" would also be taking part. Expect more casting news soon as filming gets underway.

Kat is searching for her son, 'Luke' but it's been teased that there will be a dark secret at the centre of this village. Shane has teased that it is quite dark but it will also have a lot of heart and warmth. The drama has the potential to run beyond one series.

To appear as an extra in the show participants are asked to attend an open casting on Friday (April 1) at the Sailing Club, Dunmore East, between 4-8pm, as well as The Central Arts on The Quay in Waterford on Saturday, April 2 from 12-7pm.

I thought I'd create a thread to keep all the information together. I have high hopes for this. It's great to have the show coming to Ireland. Let's hope they've learned from the 1997 Fowler episodes; DTC, Jessie and Shane are all part Irish so I'm sure they'll do everyone proud.

Thanks for all the info dj. I look forward to it. My grandfather's family were from Waterford but I've never been, so it will be a bit of a treat for me.

Sounds good, i'm glad to see it's finally getting off the ground.

No mention of DTC though, I thought he was involved.

Yes, its taken a bit longer than expected but there seems to be a conscious effort to get it right.

I think he's one of the execs, he posted some more pics on twitter today.

No problem Val. Brill, the village looks beautiful. Great scenery.

Great cast. Great team. Great location. In fact it's gonna be great. #Redwater

The auditions for extras made the Irish national news on Saturday.

Wonder if they had any luck getting Tony Jordan to write a episode, Kat and Alfie are his creations would of been nice to see him write for them again.

Thanks for this. I've been taking a little break from EE becase it's kind of been boring me lately so I'm out of the loop and didn't realise filming started on Redwater today. I'm pleased it's finally getting going.

I wonder when they'll reveal who they cast as Luke Slater? I'm really curious about him.

My guess is that there will be a couple of lads on the show who could be Luke

Angeline will probably be playing Luke's adopted mother who Kat clashes with then.

I would think that role would go to someone older.

Would be great if Aidan Turner was Kat's son! It's probably going to be the Irish guy off Hollyoaks though lol.

She looks lovely but The extensions don't look like they've blended well together with two different tones of colour, would of been better with her whole colour the same, hopefully they might look different styled.

A couple of months ago, Shane Richie said in a digital spy article that he hoped the show would run and run, and hopes there will be more series. are they coming back to Eastenders?

Maybe They are hoping the show will take off and it'll be a new soap for the Bbc and eventually Jessie and Shane will return to the main show & Redwater will continue without them.

Luke's what? About thirty? Angeline Ball has got to be close to fifty years old. Old enough in my book

I think if it's successful enough for a second series, Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie will stick with Redwater.

If it's just one series I think SOC would make offering Jessie Wallace a new EE contract his top priority.

I'd prefer Kat to return to EE.

I think they were running out of steam in Walford, it will be refreshing seeing them both in a new environment. If Redwater is a success (and that's a big if!) then I think they would be better off staying in it rather than rushing back to EastEnders.

Luke would be 32, Angeline Ball was born in 1969 (so about 47), so they'd have to have to age her up a bit.

I think Luke's adoptive Mum will be at least 10 years older than Kat, but maybe more. She's probably about 65ish.

Never mind Jessie's hair, the big question is what colour is Shane Ritchie's is going to be.

Well they started filming today. Looks like Fionnula Flanagan is the "big name" that we were promised.

Really don't like Alfie/Shane's hair and outfit

Kat wearing extensions doesn't feel "Kat" to me.
