No West Ender, an extra can speak up to I think 12 words before an Equity Card is needed. The Agency Joan works for also have bit part actors who are registered as extras as well, and do have Equity Cards and do any of the big extra parts. Basically there are three types of extra Walk on 1 which is background only i.e. just waling down a street, Walk on 2, which is where they are in full camera shot, i.e. Joan was a member of the Jury in Emmerdale for the week of Lorain Chase's Trial, and walk on 3 which is full camera shot with very small dialogue
