Joyce fondly remembers her first ever words on River City.
A River City star has reminisced back to her original days on the set of the popular Scottish soap, as she returns to Shieldinch in time for the 20 year anniversary.
Speaking to Glasgow Live, Joyce said: "I actually prefer working on this set, I even remember the first time I saw the streets of Shieldinch. You could've been in Partick or Dennistoun or anywhere, it was so authentic."I actually had to do a double take and stop for a minute, and remind myself it was a set as it looked so real. The scenic artists were still finishing off little things at that point, adding aging to the stone and painting on the graffiti and stuff.
Joyce also spoke about working with Stephen Purdon, who plays Bob O'Hara, and the close bond they have developed while working together on River City. "He's my wee toy boy for now, but he was actually the person who gave me away at my on-screen wedding - things have changed in Shieldinch!
