TV Castings: Sydney Rae White Joins Sky1’s ‘Starlings’, Keith Barron To Reprise Role On BBC One’s ‘Lapland’

Two casting items to round up. Sydney Rae White has joined the cast of Sky1’s comedy-drama Starlings, while Keith Barron is set to reprise his role for BBC One’s Lapland.

White, who played Erin Noble across the third and fourth series of CBBC’s Young Dracula, joins Starlings for its second run. The Sky1 series follows the large, close-knit Starling family and their life under one roof in Derbyshire.

Barron, the veteran actor known for Duty Free and Where the Heart Is, returns to the part he played in last year’s one-off Christmas comedy Lapland. BBC One has just ordered a full six-part series off the back of that special, led by Sue Johnston, and Barron is among those reprising their roles.
