Joan Collins to be Nana Barton?
There is a current storyline in the soap Emmerdale, but for it to progress any further in depth, bosses need a new actress to feel the shoes of a new character and there is just one person that they all think would be perfect for the job – she goes by the name of Joan Collins.
Yes, the legend herself, but will she want to portray the character of ‘Nana Barton’ as the Barton’s keep calling her? Nana Barton is Moira Barton’s mother who apparently is living on a cruise ship as has a keen eye for men younger than her (more commonly known as toy boys).
This is all the information we know so far about the character of Nana Barton as that is all Moira and her husband John (played by Natalie Robb and James Thornton) have revealed about her. These two actors have been the ones joking about how great Joan would be for the part of Nana Barton as James revealed to DigitalSpy,
“They keep referring to Nana Barton. We keep laughing saying that Joan Collins would be great for the part! She’d be amazing.” And of course she would! Natalie thinks so to as she made the comment, “Joan would be brilliant!”
Natalie has also got her own ideas about a storyline that could take place involving Nana Barton and her character Moira Barton, she said,
“Perhaps there could be a secret buried. I still don’t know why Moira left Scotland, so there might be a storyline there.”
Maybe Nana Barton stole a boyfriend Moira had whilst she was living in Scotland (seeing as she has been portrayed to have a thing for toy boys) therefore Moira thought there was no other way, but to leave.
We can all make up story-line’s that involve Nana Barton, but it will be up to bosses whether they want her to be presented as a good mum or a bad one – but one thing’s for sure if they do get Joan Collins to play the part, the storyline will be interesting no matter what!
