Hello my wonderful boardies!
This Friday there’s an exciting new series starting on CBBC – The Dumping Ground.
It has lots of great characters that you know from Tracy Beaker and some interesting new ones too.
Two of your old favourite characters will be online at 2:30pm on Friday for a webchat. There will be Chris Slater (who plays Frank) and Jessica Revell (who plays Elektra).
www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb...
If you have something you’d like to ask them, post it here. They’ll try to answer as many questions as they can in 30 minutes.
Maybe you want to ask Jessica something about the new series or if she’s anything like her character. Or perhaps Chris could spill the beans about who plays the most practical jokes on set. In real life Chris has got cerebral palsy, so maybe you have a question about how that affects his acting career.

Hi!
I am a huge fan of Tracy Beaker Returns, and I cannot wait for The Dumping Ground to start!
My question is...
For Jessica- Who is YOUR favourite character on The Dumping Ground or Tracy Beaker Returns?
Mine is Electra, because she loves blue, like me, and she is very... complicated... so you can never get bored of her!
For Chris- How did you start acting? Was it through a drama group?

Hey,
This is a question for both of you. Since the show has changed... have your charactors changed too? Do you feel, with Tracy gone it changes the way you acted?
Thanks,
