The new cast - the majority of whom would probably find it difficult securing the position of the rear section of a pantomime horse on a seaside pier. Joyce's boss, Crystal Hennessy-Vass, arrives to inspect the 4-Star Solana. Donald and Jacqueline have a surprise guest of their own, while Mateo and Lesley are left in charge of a group of VIPs. Tiger and Michael come to blows over a woman, and their parents come to blows with each other.

Joyce becomes suspicious when Blow and Go appears extremely busy, and how young its customers are looking - even an unusually fresh-faced Mateo. Joyce confronts Kenneth, who is forced to offer her free botox sessions to avoid his secret being reported to head office. Still annoyed at his dad, Tiger hides the news that Auntie Terri is on her way to the Solana resort. Michael Garvey is absent from this episode but is credited despite not appearing. Guest starring Una Stubbs Inspired by a pep-talk from Crystal, Kenneth and Liam launch a Blow and Go makeover competition. Crystal Hennessy-Vass announces that the staff budget is being cut by half - and Joyce is being replaced by Janey, her predecessor. As Geoff's Romanian fiancee Ionela arrives in Benidorm, Noreen discovers that Geoff has told her he is a successful businessman.Neptune's is an all-inclusive bar/restaurant featured in the show, and owned by The Solana. Most of the characters are seen here in the evening, where seemingly there is karaoke and live entertainment every night. Occasional guest appearances take place from singer Asa Elliott, and previously Shaun Foster Conley. Neptune's is filmed in Morgan's Tavern, near to Sol Pelicanos Ocas, where the pool scenes are filmed. Scenes showing cast members leaving Neptune's were filmed using a false facade on the bar area of Sol Pelicanos Ocas, forming a continuum with other outdoor scenes.

Lindsay, Duncan (5 June 2015). "EastEnders star Shane Richie is joining Benidorm". Metro . Retrieved 30 August 2015. First appearance of Julie Graham as Sheron Dawson, Steve Edge as Billy Dawson, Bobby Knutt as Eddie Dawson, Josh Bolt as Rob Dawson, Honor Kneafsey as Jodie Dawson, Jessica Ellerby as Amber Platt and Nathan Bryon as Joey Ellis. Dunphy told Dublin Live last year: "Johnny and I are not together now. It’s difficult and heartbreaking and a source of daily sadness for me. Kenneth DuBeq - larger than life character that, until this series, has possibly been one of the 'fans faves'. Brilliantly funny delivering cutting, insulting lines - and fits the Benidrom stereotype so convincingly. Cannot believe that more was not made from the inheritance plot from Uncle Herbert - and even sadder that a great actor such as Ken Morley, has not been used more frequently. prop buyer / props buyer / art department assistant / assistant art director / buyer (17 episodes, 2008-2012)Jaqueline - pointless without Donald. Has given us some great laughs over the years but you cannot take away the funnier side of a double act and expect the person remaining to survive alone. The point is you could not replace a character such as Donald with 'like for like'. It would not have worked. Some of us would probably be on here resenting someone trying to fill the gap - and I don't mean Jaquelines! What it needed was potentially a new couple completely. The part last night with Jaqueline trying to remember the lines from a film wasn't just bad; it was an excruciating 60 seconds of television carnage. Absent: Elsie Kelly as Noreen Maltby, Selina Griffiths as Pauline Maltby, Adam Gillen as Liam Conroy, Josh Bolt as Rob Dawson and Nathan Bryon as Joey Ellis. Things turn serious for Martin - not only has Kate taken all her luggage and disappeared, but Gavin's mum, Dorothy, uses him as a target for warding off Mateo. Meanwhile, Gavin spends some quality time with his mum, but is upset when she leaves after just one day.
