Friday Night Dinner Returning Characters

Grandma (Frances Cuka)

80 year old Nellie is adored by the family. A bubbly lady, she loves a glass of sherry, loves the boys, and loves getting her hair done. However, she can be a bit of a stirrer, and tensions exist between her and her daughter, Jackie (Mum).

Tensions arise when grandma gets back with Mr Morris - her horrible 'male friend' from series 2. Then things get worse when he proposes, and Grandma says 'yes'.

Grandma appears in  EP 3 (THE ANNIVERSARY), Ep 3 (MR MORRIS RETURNS) and Ep 6 (THE BIG DAY)


Val (Tract-Ann Oberman)

Mum's best friend - or 'Aunty Val' to the boys - is back. Warm and chatty, Val is mum's confidant, particularly when Dad has upset mum. Val dresses like mum, talks like mum - and to the boys - is exactly as annoying as mum. In fact, when Val's around, it's like having two mums in the house.

Val appears in EP 2 (THE FOX), EP 5 (THE PIANO) and EP 6 (THE BIG DAY)
