What’s in store for series eight?
Writer and creator Mike Bullen has been pretty tight-lipped on the details, but he did say: “We've got plenty of trials and tribulations in store for them as they navigate their way through middle age, and more than a few laughs and tears along the way."
RadioTimes.com also revealed that Fay Ripley's Jenny will face a cancer scare in the new series, with the storyline impacting on the rest of the Cold Feet cast.
Due to the sensitive nature of the new plot, Ripley said she was determined to get it right for others who have suffered.
“They asked me how I’d feel about it and I said I wanted it dealt with properly because of the weight of that responsibility," Ripley said at a screening of episode one. “And because so many people I know are affected by breast cancer and cancer in general. And that’s life at the moment.
“We have seen this story with shows but I wanted it to be real. Sometimes it’s going to be funny, sometimes it’s going to be scary. I just want it to be honest.”
