Former Eastenders star joining River City cast

Simone, 60, from Stirling, is set to arrive in Shieldinch as Vivienne 'Viv' Barton.

The actress will appear in the drama as part of the formidable Foulkes gangster family.

Simone will make her River City debut at the end of June as part of the forthcoming new series.

She is best known for her roles in 'Bad Girls, as Wing Governor Helen Stewart, and 'Wire in the Blood' as DI Alex Fielding, opposite Robson Green. She also played Katy Lewis in iconic BBC soap Eastenders.

Business owner Viv will arrive in Shieldinch in the hope of reconciling with her son Tyler (Cameron Fulton), after walking out on her marriage to Harry Foulkes (Jim Sturgeon) and her family over two decades ago.

Her surprise arrival shocks family friend Eddie Corrigan (Rob Jarvis), who reveals to Viv he thought she was dead - a lie Harry spun for decades.
