Former CASUALTY and HOLBY CITY actor Alex Walkinshaw is set to join the cast of BBC soap Eastenders.
Alex, famous for his role as nurse Fletch, will play the role of Ross, boyfriend of Vicki Fowler and also brings with him his son, Joel.
On joining the show, Alex said, ‘I am really excited as I’ve had so many friends on EastEnders throughout the years, and I always hear lovely things about it. The show is top draw drama and I can’t wait to get stuck in. Ross is a decent, hardworking family man, he always puts family first, and he is very in love with Vicki, but it’s not always plain sailing.’
