The former 'EastEnders' actor talks new show 'The Wives', Taylor Swift and why female friendships are a perk of the job
The former 'EastEnders' actor talks new show 'The Wives', Taylor Swift and why female friendships are a perk of the job“Can we not talk about soaps too much?” asks Jo Joyner, halfway through our interview. “Actually I’m going to stop now.” It’s a reasonable request.
Joyner – who grew up in the same Cotswold village where she now lives with her drama teacher husband and 15-year-old twin son and daughter – tells me her own mother was a bit of a Beth. Her dad started a successful car parts distribution company and “at home I had a traditional mum, doing everything for me and my brother. I probably took it all for granted like a bit of a brat.”.
We meet on the day when former Nicest Man in Rock, the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, reveals he’s had a baby outside of his marriage and Trump supporting Elon Musk has made a revolting offer to impregnate Taylor Swift after she proudly declared herself a Harris-backing “Childless Cat Lady”. “Grim!” shudders Joyner, “So grim.
Beth meets up with Sky and Charlie for drinks by the pool in ‘The Wives’ , Joyner offers some crisp insight into the media’s brutal and exploitative treatment of soap actors. Her theory is that it’s “a hangover from before reality TV filled the tabloids and magazines.” The plot lines are still reported like news.
