Redwater

The show will see Kat and Alfie arrive in a fictional seaside village – filming took place in Dunmore East, Co. Waterford last year – looking for answers before they quickly find themselves drawn into a complicated series of shadowy events.

Recently teasing the show, Shane Richie, who first played Alfie in 2002, said that the show was “like Broadchurch”.

“It’s a dark thriller we never really referenced before on EastEnders. I hope EastEnders fans will watch it, and non-fans give it a chance it cause it’s a good thriller,” he told the Irish Daily Star.

Speaking after the six-part series was announced, Danish Director Jesper Nielsen said: “We have a really important and fantastic story to tell.

“It’s about how one woman’s search for a lost child opens Pandora’s box; revealing the terrible lies and secrets in the little village of Redwater.

“It’s a story about how the strong bonds of love in a family can hold everything together, and yet at the same time – destroy everything.”

Premieres Thursday 18th May at 8pm!

[LukeB]

oh ffs i'm away when this is one.

[Ross.]

Lostie to watch as Fionnula is front and centre?

[Marsh.]

I'm Alfie's tighty whities

[Marsh.]

Of all the casting news and pictures, have they actually showed who is playing Kat's son?

[Ross.]

Well no why would they

[Ross.]

There's obvious candidates from the cast but they haven't revealed who it is as I'm guessing it'll have some build up first before we find out

[Marsh.]

Well no why would they

What do you mean why would they? Because he's the whole reason the show exists. :oh:

They've announced the cast and not mentioned who will play the son.

I bet he's dead. Poor Kat. :(

[Ross.]

It's obviously going to be a surprise!

[Marsh.]

There's obvious candidates from the cast but they haven't revealed who it is as I'm guessing it'll have some build up first before we find out

From the sound of the show I'm gonna guess the son was raised by Fionnula's family and there's been some form of abuse occurring. :think: Which is exactly how he was conceived with Kat being raped by her uncle, so she WILL FLIP T'FUQ OUT.

[Marsh.]

It's obviously going to be a surprise!

Michelle Ryan steps out of the shadows in the climax to episode 1 sporting a moustache - he is Boe.

"You're my mudder, so you are?"

"Yes, I am. :)"

[Ross.]

I can't believe how long this has taken to actually happen

It was announced in April 2015. :omgno:

[Marsh.]

It looks like they've walked into a period piece.

Imagine if they brought Fionnula back to the Square. :flutter:

[Ross.]

I'm the random horse

[Ross.]

Oh the name is actually Kat and Alfie: Redwater now apparently :omgno:

[Rob!]

This is going to make me miss DTC even more :(

[Rob!]

That horse is so unEastenders :joker:

[Marsh.]

This isn't EastEnders. :oh:

[Marsh.]

Oh the name is actually Kat and Alfie: Redwater now apparently :omgno:

delete it fat

[Lostie!]

Lostie to watch as Fionnula is front and centre?

But of course.

[Marsh.]

Here for her to slaughter Alfie.

[Lostie!]

I genuinely thought that earlier :joker:

[Firewire]

Well personally, I'm shook.

[Ashley.]

Is this Redwater or the Wild West?

[Marsh.]

Is this Redwater or the Wild West?

8p4xlLezos0

[Ross.]

8p4xlLezos0

This to be re-released to promo Redwater?

[Lostie!]

I'm resisting shoehorning in a Westworld reference.

[Lostie!]

I failed

[Ashley.]

Yeah I was originally going to ask "Is this Redwater or Westworld?" but I didn't.

[Marsh.]

Alfie being a robot to explain Richie's wooden acting?

[Lostie!]

A trailer

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/redwater/news/a827106/eastenders-kat-and-alfie-redwater-first-trailer/

[Denver]

although RTE in Ireland will be premiering Kat and Alfie: Redwater on May 14, BBC One has yet to make an official announcement about its scheduling.

Messy Mess

[Marsh.]

:amazed: Eloise Hawking.

[Marsh.]

"Kathleen (Jessie Wallace), Alfie (Shane Ritchie) and Tommy (Henry Proctor) arrive in Redwater, where celebrations are in full flow for a lively annual fundraiser, that pitches them into the heart of the community.

Despite promising Alfie that she will keep a low profile Kathleen can’t rest, and is already on the hunt for her son. Andrew (Peter Campion), son of Roisin (Maria Doyle Kennedy) and Padraig (Stephen Hogan) and wife of local Garda Bernie (Susan Ateh) seems the perfect fit. Could she have found him so soon?

Alfie urges caution and not to get her hopes up. But this is Kat Slater, not known for caution, and the inhabitants tongues start wagging and conspiracy theories form, as they wonder if The Moons really are visiting just for a holiday…

As the celebrations spill into the local pub, Kathleen finds an ally in Lance (Ian McElhinney). He’s been in Redwater forever, seems to know everyone and everything. Life and soul of the party Kathleen is in danger of exposing her identity and her secret.

As Kathleen relentlessly pursues her quest for confirmation that Andrew is her long-lost son, she ruffles feathers with Andrew’s mother Roisin at their family farm, further fuelling the rumour mill - until Agnes intercepts and sends Kathleen politely on her way. Alfie once again has to play peacekeeper, pulling Kathleen into line and making peace with the locals, allowing the dust to settle.

Distracted by her quest, Kat fails to notice that Alfie is hiding his failing health from her."

.

[Denver]

where are the twins

[Marsh.]

I'm guessing there'll be some explanation like Big Mo is staying back in Spain with them or something.

[Glenn.]

She's a Kathleen now then? Bit up market

[Cal.]

Starts Thursday 18th May @ 8:00 PM (11 years to the day BB7 launched, freaky :omgno: )

[Lostie!]

I'm ready for Agnes and Roisin (I'll try hard to not just call them Mrs Hawking and Mrs S all series but I make no promises)

[Denver]

Starts Thursday 18th May @ 8:00 PM (11 years to the day BB7 launched, freaky :omgno: )

Mess at it airing 4 days after it airs in Ireland

[Firewire]

8pm? What a shame

I wanted post-watershed

[Marsh.]

8pm? What a shame

I wanted post-watershed

This. I wanted to hear Kat Slater screaming "***** YOOOOUUUU!!!!" as Eloise Hawking tries to slit her throat.

:joker:

[Ross.]

The premiere of this will be going against the ITV leaders debate and EastEnders will be against a hour long Emmerdale before it

I love great scheduling

[Denver]

I cant wait to spoil it all for you

[Marsh.]

Ross will get it before any of us anyway. He's in Ireland.

[Ross.]

You're mistaken my love!

[Marsh.]

I thought it was airing on a different day in Ireland?

[Marsh.]

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/redwater/news/a827494/eastenders-spoiler-nightmare-redwater-spinoff/

See Ireland get each episode the Sunday prior to us. :fist:

[Tom4784]

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/redwater/news/a827494/eastenders-spoiler-nightmare-redwater-spinoff/

See Ireland get each episode the Sunday prior to us. :fist:

That's really dumb.

[Firewire]

Apparently Redwater was supposed to be self-contained in EE as a week away in Spain but BBC wanted it as a standalone series

Read what DTC has said about it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/redwater

[Marsh.]

Happy ordinary lives are great to live, less great to watch.

@SOC

Not that there's much happiness anymore.

[Marsh.]

I don't really pay attention to writers but Lauren Klee sounds familiar. Doesn't she always get abuse on DS for sh*t episodes? :laugh:

[Firewire]

Her episodes are really good, she's one of the better writers

DS just everything about the show

[Firewire]

Interview with DTC:
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/redwater/interviews/a827600/redwater-spoilers-kat-alfie-eastenders-spinoff-interview-dominic-treadwell-collins/

It ends on a cliffhanger but he is hopeful for a second series

[Denver]

T'was fantastic

[Wizard.]

T'was fantastic

have you watched it?

[Niamh.]

That's really dumb.

:hee:

[Denver]

have you watched it?

Yes it aired in Ireland last night so its online

[Marsh.]

Any links for this online?

[Daniel-X]

Didn't care much at all for this, think the only reason I may continue watching is because I'm familiar with the characters.

Oh and the twist at the end with the priest/Kat's son was VERY intriguing

[Niamh.]

I was at that church at a Christening a few weeks ago :amazed:

[Rob!]

I thought that was really good

[Marsh.]

This is actually really good. Shane Ritchie's trying too hard aside.

It's actually much more of an ensemble, or seems to be so far, than I originally thought so the decision to add "Kat and Alfie" to the title is bizarre.

[Denver]

One major error though

[Denver]

We had a flash back to 1994 then it said 21 years later which would mean they are in 2015 yet they returned to Albert Square that xmas and Stacy received a post card this week so how can the show be in 2015?

[Will.]

Maybe there still there:

But Kat only discovered the existence of her son after Charlie died in January 2016. :think:

[Denver]

The postcard Specifically said they are going this week

[Will.]

But Kat only discovered the existence of her son after Charlie died in January 2016. :think:

I'm lost

[Will.]

Wait maybe it's like 21 years and a half and it's like mid 2016 there?

[Marsh.]

Wait maybe it's like 21 years and a half and it's like mid 2016 there?

Except they've insisted on pairing it with this week's EE with Stacey receiving the postcard. :worry:

[Denver]

Also Kat claimed her she had a postcard saying her son was in Redwater 3 months before he was born

[Will.]

Except they've insisted on pairing it with this week's EE with Stacey receiving the postcard. :worry:

Oh yeah, maybe there still there, it's confusing.

[Will.]

Wasn't it originally meant to air last year?

[Marsh.]

Oh well, not a major mistake. It's only that title on the screen "21 years later" that's wrong.

If they start actually using the date 2015 and stuff then it's a glaring error.

[Will.]

Oh well, not a major mistake. It's only that title on the screen "21 years later" that's wrong.

If they start actually using the date 2015 and stuff then it's a glaring error.

Yeah they better not!

[Marsh.]

Oh yeah, maybe there still there, it's confusing.

Nah. They told her they'd "arrived in Ireland" as if for the first time.

[Denver]

Oh well, not a major mistake. It's only that title on the screen "21 years later" that's wrong.

If they start actually using the date 2015 and stuff then it's a glaring error.

But the birthdate is a massive mistake

[Marsh.]

But the birthdate is a massive mistake

Which birthdate?

[Will.]

Nah. They told her they'd "arrived in Ireland" as if for the first time.

mess

[Denver]

Which birthdate?

She said her son arrived safely in Redwater Dec 1983 but The twins were born Feb 1984

[Marsh.]

When Eloise clocked Kat. :joker:

[Marsh.]

Considering this whole set up and show hinges on Kat's birth to Zoe (and twin) of which her originally iconic storyline was all about that is actually a ridiculous error.

They managed to aline the reveal in 2015 (when we saw the dates in the convents' diary) with the correct ones, so why not the spin off?

[reece(:]

Why does Alfie look 20 year older?

[Marsh.]

Why does Alfie look 20 year older?

His look is hilarious tbh. :joker:

[Ross.]

But Kat only discovered the existence of her son after Charlie died in January 2016. :think:

She found out in May 2015 you silly girl

[Ross.]

But yes this was pretty great :clap2: Didn't see that twist at the end coming so I'm definitely intrigued about where it's going to go

I think because we've been starved of any EastEnders-related drama recently this will be a hit

[Marsh.]

She found out in May 2015 you silly girl

No, she didn't. :suspect:

We the audience found out then.

The nun only told Kat about it in January 2016 and Charlie died of a heart attack after she confronted him about it.

Now, who's a silly girl? :smug:

[Ross.]

By she I meant we of course!

[Marsh.]

Whilst nobody cared about Stacey roaming the streets for three weeks in the freezing cold with a newborn baby. :worry:

[Ross.]

January 2016 :love:

[Ross.]

The new Tommy is NOT Tommy

[Marsh.]

Still living for Eloise seeing through Kat's disguise and for the shameless tart she is. :love:

[Marsh.]

Kat and Alfie bringing murder and mayhem from Walford to Redwater.

Poor EastEnders.

[Ronald.]

Bloody loved this last night! Fantastic stuff. Excited for episode 2. R.

[Ronald.]

Why does Alfie look 20 year older?

Ha ha i thought this he's an old fogey now! R.

[Ronald.]

I was at that church at a Christening a few weeks ago :amazed:

Some beautiful scenery here Niamh. Where in ireland is the show set? I was saying to Margaret i'd love to take a trip there. R.

[Cherie]

The trailer for this looked so cliched :omgno:

[Niamh.]

Some beautiful scenery here Niamh. Where in ireland is the show set? I was saying to Margaret i'd love to take a trip there. R.

It's set in Dunmore East, Co Waterford. It's the county right next to Cork. A friend of ours lives there and his son was christened there a few weeks back

[Ronald.]

I imagine quite a few people will be looking to visit after watching this. What a beautiful country Ireland is! R.

[Natalie.]

I was thinking maybe Andrew will end up being her son still, not sure now though

I liked the music and it was beautiful

[Ross.]

Not the secret out by episode 2

[Denver]

Hopefully he kills Alfie

[Marsh.]

The trailer for this looked so cliched :omgno:

Quiet Roisin

[Denver]

It got better then it was last week

[Marsh.]

I'm the horse running away from the body.

[Denver]

It lost almost half its viewers this week as only 2.7 million watched it

[Marsh.]

Episode 4 already?

I haven't caught up since episode 1, is it worth catching up with?

[LukeB]

I haven't even started it and like i cba

[Wizard.]

Omg what if there's not a season 2 and they can't tell us what happened?

Kat and Alfie are dead so Tommy & The Twins get sent to live with Stacey?

[Ross.]

Welp if this doesn't get another series after all those cliffhangers

[Denver]

878003092465238018

[Firewire]

She's been axed #Justice4Kathleen

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/eastenders/news/a838554/eastenders-kat-and-alfie-redwater-not-getting-second-series-confirmed/

[Denver]

Not surprised it would have been a bigger hit if they didn't wait 2 years for it

[Firewire]

And the terrible timeslot didn't help

[Marsh.]

Ending it on such a major cliffhanger for two of EastEnders biggest characters is a decision I will never understand.

[Tom4784]

Not poor Kathleen left to float in the ocean?

[BBUK-Fan]

We need answers to the cliffhangers. Put it in eastenders, forgot Max's **** revenge plot

[Marsh.]

They should have just put the budget in eastenders and made it a week of episodes abroad.

[Daniel-X]

A ****ing mess when they ended on such a cliffhanger, I have a feeling Yorke will bring Kat back anyway and make it that Alfie died off screen.

[Firewire]

Yorke created Kat so I hope so

[Marsh.]

I actually don't think Jessie would be interested without Shane. They're practically joined at the hip.

[Firewire]

Redwater is now on Netflix

[Firewire]

I actually don't think Jessie would be interested without Shane. They're practically joined at the hip.

OH YEAH?

[Marsh.]

OH YEAH?

:hmph:

Lacey Turner has rubbed off on her.

[Marsh.]

At least Netflix had the good sense to take Kat and Alfie out of the title.

[Rob!]

:hmph:

Lacey Turner has rubbed off on her.
