The BBC has finally given Kat and Alfie's EastEnders spinoff Redwater a premiere date.
UK fans have been itching for solid information on when they'd be able to watch the standalone drama series, ever since RTE in Ireland announced it would air Redwater on May 14.
Here's the news you've been waiting for: Redwater will make its BBC One debut on Thursday, May 18 at 8pm. Some of you might already be panicking about a clash with Emmerdale, but take a breath!
Because of the (potentially Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn-less) ITV leaders' debate airing at 8pm on that night, Emmerdale will air for a full hour at 7pm.
So, no clash with Emmerdale at least for Redwater's premiere, but the Albert Square spinoff will still be facing some stiff competition from ITV's political forum.
Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace reprise their iconic EastEnders roles as the Moons in Redwater, as the couple's search for Kat's long-lost son brings them to a remote and secretive Irish village.

While Shane has confirmed that Redwater will only make a brief mention of Kat and Alfie's years in Albert Square, EastEnders does plan to reference the events of the spinoff in scenes next month.
Redwater has been created for the BBC by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who famously was EastEnders' showrunner for three years. He quit the soap last spring.
"I've made sure that everything said on EastEnders has been tying in with Redwater," Treadwell-Collins recently said. "I still speak to EastEnders now and I believe that Sharon Batten has put a little reference to it in the main show."
Redwater will also star Orphan Black's Maria Doyle Kennedy, Game of Thrones veteran Ian McElhinney and iconic Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan.

Filmed in Dunmore East which over the years has been host to a number of productions.

Kat and Alfie look different, no sign of Kat's red lips and lots of leopard print, more demure look since lotto win

My grandmother was from Dunmore East so I've spent a lot of time there. I hope they show the area in a good light.

"Not for you the neon lights and fast living of Kilkenny".

Nice a show set in Waterford, and Kilkenny made out to be better.

Lisha

I'm fascinated by Alfie's jacket!!

murpho999

Just had Irish people referring to pub owner as 'The Landlord' , so that's wrong already.

Stumpy from Love/hate is in it i see

There was a pregnant guard in it too. Its a wonder Stumpy didnt have to restrain himself from kicking the sh1t out of her :pac:

JimmyAlfonso

Redwater seems to have less black people than most normal rural villages


Pregnant guard would be on desk duty

This is set on spring equinox, who sells ice cream in march



....endless problems with this

rickis tache

I keep thinking Alfie looks awful like Bobby ewing

People drinking Guinness before a run, person dressed as a priest for the whole day. It's only the start.

EDIT:Now it gets worse. Irish show has to feature a priest as a major character.

Samsgirl

Not too sure about this.....

Alfie must have eat Dieters cheese....oh wait i am mixing it up with Killinascully

Its an oscar performance all round compared to Fair city earlier though

I think a man on a donkey or a bar brawl may also feature.

He didn't want orange juice.

fin12

Why would u pour new bottles of juice down the sink like that, if he didn't want it, he could have given it to someone else.

I gathered that

But was it delivered just to annoy him in a malicious way. ?

Its almost as bad as that episode twenty years ago with the Fowlers.

Sad thing is that there is a great cast involved.

Lisha

I was giving this a go until I saw Kat's crochet cardi

I think it must have been tropical juice, it was from Lidl aswell. Aren't priests supposed to not waste anything?

Exactly, surely there was a neighbour you'd give it too.

Your being harsh on Glenroe in fairness. They at the very least nailed irish mannerisms and rural life. This is bastardisation at its finest

There is something very strange about that young priest. He seems mental.

BeckyBloomwood

Did I miss it or has it been mentioned where Kat and Alfie's twins are?!

Deranged in fact.

Why does there have to be a priest in it in the first place.

And farmers, and people going around on horseback?

Why couldn't she be looking for a kid in Dun Laoghaire with people on the Dart on their way to work in city centre offices?

Sam Kade

Jaysus, the pair of them have aged badly since I last saw them.

Lisha

Well that chat with the priest escalated quickly
