This is a thread for everyone to think of actors and actresses who have played parts in more than one of Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Corrie and Emmerdale.

Here are the ones I can think of:

Zoe Henry, played-
Rhona in Emmerdale
Casey in Corrie
and a police officer in Eastenders.

Elaine Glover, played-
Abi Raven in Hollyoaks
Police Officer in Emmerdale

James Sutton, played-
John Paul McQueen in Hollyoaks
Ryan Lamb in Emmerdale

The roles I have put in bold are the roles I think they are most well known for... though James Sutton is a bit of a dodgy one, he's very well known for both.

    Shirley Stelfox - Edna Birch in Emmerdale & she played the owner of the dating service in Corrie when Jack Duckworth joined as Vincent St Clare.

    Gemma Bissex - Claire Bates in EE, then Claire Devine in HO, then back again as Claire Bates.

    Mark's wife Ruth in EE plays a police officer on Corrie. Questioned Tony about Rosie's disappearance.

    Alison King appeared in ED as a nanny to Kim's son I think and had a part in Brookside prior to landing the role of Carla Connor.

    The actress who plays Dot in EE appeared in Corrie in the early days.

    Lisa Baldwin was in Emmerdale as a Dingle.
    Jazz from Home and Away was in Neighbours as Dr. Charlotte.
    Lee Hunter from Hollyoaks was in Emmerdale as Jamie.
    And Jamie's ex Louise is Marilyn in Home and Away.
    I think she was the first soap star to leave one soap for another only to return to her original role. Not sure though!

    .

    She was also Mel's mother in the millennium episodes of EastEnders.

    Brian Capron was Richard Hillman in Corrie and Sanjay's brother-in-law in EastEnders.

    Shobna Gulati - Sunita in Corrie - was also the social worker who looked after Sonia after she had her her baby in EastEnders.

    Debbie Arnold she was...

    April Branning in Eastenders
    Sylvie Hicks in Corrie
    Debbie Wilson in Emmerdale and
    Janice Bolton in Hollyoaks

    I think she's the only actress to be in all 4 major soaps.
