Anne Rodgers took part in several workshops for the part of Grandma, but for unknown reasons eventually turned down the role. It was then offered to Ann Emery, who previously auditioned, and performed it until 2014. On a similar note, Jackie Clune originally took part in a few workshops for Mrs Wilkinson, but became pregnant before casting was finalised. A few years later she was offered the part. The process of finding the three Billy's took many months.
