Former Brookside actors
Why is it you never see former Brookside actors on tv any more? I'm thinking of the actresses who played Rachel Jordache, Jacqui Dixon, Bev McLoughlin, Katie Rodgers. They were all good actors and in it for years but I haven't seen any of them in anything since! Where are they now?

Jacqui has been in a few things.... someone the other day mentioned about her being in an episode of Doctors. Quite a few of the others have appeared in various things too.
Philip Oliver is a still a fit but cocky ****.
www.brookside.tk for you all....
Jennifer Ellison has been in Chicago in the West End for a while.
They're all youngish women, maybe they have young kids and are spending time with them?
I think a few of them may have been in Doctors There was a thread about them a while back, will take a look to see if I can find it
I used to love Diane Burke who played Katie - she had such a mournful face!
Mark Morghan played Owen in Holby for a few years too
Amanda Burton has been hugely successful
Sue Johnston & Ricky Tomlinson have been in loads, notably The Royle Family
Paul Usher played Des in The Bill for 2 years
Claire Sweeney has been in a few things, released an album and presented loads
Sunita Sarker went on to No Angels
Anna Friel has been in films and TV drama's
Gabrielle Glaister joined Corrie and later Family Affairs
Louis Emerick was in Casulaty
Mickey Starke was in The Royal and is now in Corrie
Phil Olivier was in Hollyoaks ITC
I'd love to see Nikki, Jacqui, Katie, Rachel, Susannah, Max on tv again
she was wasn't she, her deep breaths before every sentence had me in stitches!! preferred her without Max
Who was Katrina? Must've stopped watching by then....
Max was in Casualty@Holby when they did that donor episode where viewers decided who got the heart transplant. If I remember correctly he was in Emmerdale as one of the lawyers during Steph's trial. My mother also tells me he was in Crossroads during the 1980's.
Jason Shadwick's gf and Nikki's best mate.
Indeed he was. He played a character called Roy who worked at the Crossroads garage. he later bought the local shop and had a tempestuous relationship with beauty queen Anne Marie Wade who was played by Dee Hepburn (of Gregory's Girl fame!).

I've thought of a few more:
David Easter (Pat Hanock) - Family Affairs as Pete Callan
Annie Miles (Sue Sullivan) - Family Affairs as Maria Star
Meg Johnson (Brigid McKenna) - Emmerdale as Pearl Ladderbanks
Robert Beck (Peter Harrison) - The Upper Hand and Emmerdale
Nicola Stephenson (Margaret Clemence) - Holby City, Clocking Off, Superstorm and The Chase (to name a few)
Kazia Pelka (Anna Wolska) - Corrie, Heartbeat, Family Affairs
Leon Lopez (Jerome Johnson) - Hollyoaks in the City, Soapstar, Superstar ....
Phew, Brookie really helped a lot of actors (some more successful then others )
