Actors who have appeared in both soaps and sitcoms
There are actually quite a lot of soapstars who have appeared in both sitcoms and soaps,
Barbara Windsor played Peggy Mitchell in Eastenders and was in an episode of one foot in the grave as a woman who fancied Victor.
The guy who played Mr Swainey turned up in Doctors as a regular.
Phil Daniels was also in one Foot in the grave as a jealous man who thought his girlfriend was having an affair with Patrick.
Then quite a substantial amount of the Dinnerladies cast also turned up in Coronation Street, there were also cast members from Brookie, Eastenders and Emmerdale in it too.
Can anyone think of any other actors who have turned up in both a soap and a sitcom?

Tony Marshall who plays Noel in Casualty appeared in 3 episodes of Only Fools and Horses as one of Rodney's friends.
Jake Wood also appeared briefly in Only Fools and Horses (Jolly boy's Outing)
If so, Elizabeth Carling (who played Selena) was in Goodnight Sweetheart & Barbara.
As was Derek Martin who played Charlie Slater, he appeared in an episode where Derek was singing in the square and his character started shouting from the balcony.
Tricia Dingle also appeared in OFAH as a mugger in the batman and robin episode,

Don't forget that Onslow appeared in Corrie and Daisy appeared in Eastenders
My god it's so weird seeing Edna from Emmerdale as this character!!!
Didn't Trevor Banister also appear in corrie? Jeffrey Holland was in Corrie as a tax inspector not so long ago and he was in hi Di Hi and Doctor Beeching.
Actually the guy who plays Tony was not in 2 point 4 children, but his brother Dom was.
the name of the show that Tracy Ann Oberman was in is called Big Train, also Ian Lavender (Pike from Dads Army) was in EE as Pauline's friend Derek Harkinson
