In connection with the extension, I am going to install 1 pocket frame for the bathroom. I am a bit worried about whether the wall will be too unstable when it is tiled.
The pocket frame is essentially mounted in one corner. It takes up 1500mm including the door leaf, and the whole bathroom is 2100. So much of the wall consists of the pocket cassette. The ceiling height is about 260cm, so there will be about 50cm of proper stud above/around it. The plan is to frame with 70mm. Inside 15mm ply + gypsum, outside towards the hall, 11mm OSB plus gypsum.
Will this be stable? Or should I reinforce with an additional Ply inside? I can also go up to 95 studs. The question is if it makes any practical difference, since maybe double ply gives a better result. If I do both, it will start to become a quite thick wall.
Grateful for quick input, need to order the frame today

I built such a wall 2 years ago. The only difference is that I only had single drywall towards the hall, then I glued and screwed both the plywood to the pocket frame and the drywall to the plywood. It became really stable before tiling and even more stable after it was finished.
