An Actor/Actress Appearing In More Than One Soap...

[Chris_2k11]

It's becoming quite common, dont you think? There's loads I can mention... but just a few include:

- Sherrie Hewson... Played Maureen Holdsworth in Coronation St. Then went on to play Virginia in Crossroads, and is now currently playing Lesley (Simon's mum) in Emmerdale.

- Ben Hull... Played Lewis Richardson in Hollyoaks. Then went on to play a part in Brookside as Doctor Garry Parr. And he is now currently playing someone in Family Affairs.

- Emily Symons... Played Marilyn Fisher in Home & Away, and now she's currently playing Louise Appleton in Emmerdale.

- Gabrielle Glastier... Played posh wife Patricia Farnham in Brookside, and has now gone on to currently play someone called Trish in Family Affairs.

...and I could go on! The list is practically endless!

[Abi]

Its a lot more common than what you'd think isn't it

[Katy]

yeh i know.

I think its weirder when they play the same character.
For example cristian ealey played Matt Musgrove in brookside and hollyoaks.

[Luna]

Yeah i think that was because channel 4 didn't want to lose him cause they never kept any of the other family on

[Abi]

I've never heard of that happening... imagine Chrissie from EE going into Corrie.... strange...
