Lisa Gardner, the new face of Jo Rossi





This is the new face of Jo Rossi! As you know, Jo ran off with Luca in January but she'll be appearing in the show again soon. Unfortunately, Allison McKenzie (who played Jo) has other projects on the go and decided she can't commit to River City for the long term so new actress Lisa Gardner is going to take over the role. We're all delighted to welcome her.

Jo will be returning to the show around Christmas and the River City Producers promise there is much more to be done with the character, especially surrounding her relationship with her sister, Ruth.

In other news, Lisa can be heard in 'Freefalling' on Radio Scotland this Friday. It's a comedy show, which also stars Julie Coombe (Terri) and Paul Samson (Raymond), and you can hear it from 11.30am, or listen again for a whole week after transmission.
