Jo Joyner makes a comeback in new psychological thriller
Jo Joyner, the former EastEnders star, has delighted fans as she revealed that she will be reuniting with her onscreen Walford mum, Ann Mitchell, for a new Channel 5 psychological thriller called ‘For Her Sins’. The pair will be working together after a gap of five years and will be playing mother and daughter in the four-part series. According to Jo Joyner, it is a great opportunity to work with someone she admires and respect.
A Reunion Worth Celebrating
As per sources, the actress, who played Tanya Branning on EastEnders, recently joined Holly Willoughby and Josie Gibson on ITV’s This Morning. During the show, Jo expressed her excitement regarding working with Ann again and how unusual and admirable the relationship between mother and daughter in the series is – highlighting how such a bond is usually neglected or gets a back seat in regular cinema.
Furthermore, Jo also mentioned the fact that reunions such as this are relatively rare in the entertainment industry, often leaving actors with a sense of loss and sadness.
Fans Ecstatic for the Duo’s Return
Unsurprisingly, the announcement of Jo’s comeback and the reunion with Ann Mitchell has caused a storm of excitement among the EastEnders fans. Many took to social media and expressed their joy and excitement about the pair’s acting comeback.
It is evident that the fans cannot wait to see Jo Joyner and Ann Mitchell on screen once again after a long hiatus, having earlier created magic with their outstanding performances.
Depicting Mother-Daughter Relationships
Jo shared that it was captivating to represent a story about two women as she usually gets paired with men. This time, however, she had the opportunity to show the complex relationship between a mother and her daughter. She also added that it reminded her of conversations from her school days, highlighting how double-edged conversations amongst women are complex and can sometimes be misunderstood.
The Series
The four-part series will see Jo Joyner’s character dealing with anxieties as a new mum while her onscreen mother, Ann Mitchell (‘Maggie’), is playing the role of a career woman. Emily, played by Rachel Shenton, arrives in their lives and befriends Laura, Jo’s character, which turns the latter’s life upside down.
Although it’s not clear why Emily is planning to sabotage Laura’s life, the series will reveal the reason behind the betrayal and bring closure to the audience.
Final Thoughts
Jo Joyner has stepped up once again to entertain her fans with her acting skills in ‘For Her Sins’ after making a name for herself on EastEnders and Ackley Bridge. Her reunion with on-screen mother Ann Mitchell has left fans extremely excited, and it will be fascinating to see them in their new roles. Furthermore, the show’s focus on mother-daughter relationships, complex female relationships, and the anxieties felt by new mothers has the potential to relate to numerous viewers worldwide.
Therefore, viewers must watch this psychological thriller on Channel 5 as it may lead to self-realization and bring a new perspective on female bonding and relationships.
