[tikka]

I hear that they are looking to cast 2 new characters for current series. Any got any info on what parts they are casting?

Son was put up for one of the parts back in March. Male & female late teens to early 20s

Thanks Shortguy.

DS's agent has arranged a workshop with the casting agent, presumeabley so she can look for suitable people for the 2 parts. Its a really long way to go, on a bad day for us, so was trying to decided if it was worth cancelling things and driving miles to go to it!

Do you know when they plan to start shooting this? I think its starting June, but wondering exactly when as DS has last GCSE towards the end of June

Hi JTBmum
Don't know dates except it was 'soonish'. Have you auditioned for this?

I guess once you have finished GCSEs you are licence free, or is there a set date for everyone. Ds's last exam is June 20.

My dd is in year eleven and isn't 16 until the summer. Her agent told us that there is an official school leaving date, (which is the last friday in June.) Apparently those in that year are all out of licence on that date.

[JTBmum]

No ds has not auditioned as yet. Cant wait for GCSEs to be over. Ds last GCSE June 27

[Coco]

my dd's last exam is june 27 too (German) I didn't think that GCSE's went on so long !

[JTBmum]

My ds is doing German too! Thats his last one, and has a week in between the one before and this one.

Wondering when the casting workshop actually is?

They are seeing people from NYT today I think. Anyone had any news on callbacks?
