Season 4 Comment
Ex-EastEnder Nigel Harman books into Hotel Babylon for the new series this week.
Harman joins the British drama as a playboy businessman when Hotel Babylon opens its doors for a fourth series this Friday.
All eyes are on Harman's character, Sam Franklin, when the hotel is threatened with closure. Will he save the day? The continuation of the series, which is scheduled for a further seven episodes, certainly suggests so.
Also joining the cast this season is Hex actress Anna Wilson-Jones, who stars as a bailiff--and Franklin's ex-wife--called Juliet Miller.
Talking about their relationship, Harman says: "It's not front and centre with those two--it very much bubbles under the surface and by the end of the series hopefully it becomes more prevalent."
Wilson-Jones adds: “There is still something between them but Juliet can't quite work out what that is yet. She is determined not to let him get under her skin again and yet... she can't help herself.”
Former model Abi Titmuss and Countryfile's Ben Fogle also make guest appearances in the series' premiere--Titmuss as a nun and Fogle as himself. Denise Van Outen, Kelly Osbourne and Michael Winner will feature later in the series.
The new series of Hotel Babylon begins on BBC One this Friday, June 19, at 9pm. (Comment made by Bala)
