I've just seen a picture of james sutton snogging the actress who plays his prison officer

he seems to make a habit of dating his co-stars- he went with sammy woodward for a while and she herself went with him, the guy who plays Andy and didn't she also date the actor who played Robert

Where I work, dating co workers is perfectly fine but if there's a break up it's always awkward so I wonder how it must be for actors/actresses

anyone else dating other soap actors or is it limited to the randy buggers down at Emmedale! :D

    Tracey Childs and Tony Anholt married each other in real life, and also in the show, at the end of the last series of HOWARDS WAY. DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE eg Glynis Barber and Michael Brandon married each other. Willow and Wesley eg Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER married each other.

    There was Kara Tointon going out with someone who played her brother didn't he, in Eastenders, and didn't phil mitchell go out in real life with one of the women from the show, I can't remember who and I won't until it's too late to add it to this post. Anyway its Phil so who cares, lol?

    The funniest thing ever is David Tennant going out with Georgia Moffett who played the Doctor's daughter in the show. And as her father is Peter Davison who was Doctor no 5, if they eventually tie the knot and get married, the Doctor will be his own father in law as well as marrying his own daughter. And their children will be his grandchildren as well as his children... makes your head spin, doesn't it?

    :D

    At one point in Coronation Street Tina O'Brien who played Sarah-Lou was dating the actor who played her on-screen boyfriend Todd Grimshaw and then was dating Ryan Thomas who played Jason Grimshaw. She then went on to have a daughter with Ryan Thomas before splitting up.

    This was big news at the time, iirc, she went on twitter and leaked something about Danielle's exit storyline? Her bosses were not pleased! There were rumours the 'Dawn and Phil' storyline was sort of a way to get back at her :D

    Also on-topic, in Corrie, Sarah Platt went out with Todd Grimshaw and later married his brother Jason, and I think the same happened in real life, Tina O'Brien went out with Bruno Langley and later married Ryan Thomas, who played the above characters!

    !

    no thats not what happened. She never had a twitter. she posted on FB about Lauren crace's leaving party and people guessed it from that. Someone else who had faked her on twitter who was a friend on FB leaked it on there.

    No, he's not gay. He's going out with her
    . He used to date Sophia Myles who played Madame de Pompadour in The Girl In The Fireplace, the episode about the clockwork robots, but that ended when she got a job in America, playing the female lead role in Moonlight - a great vampire/detectve show, but that got cancelled after only one season - as they were just too far apart with the whole Atlantic between them, for it to continue.

    Oh cool, thanks

    Is it just me or is there anyone else who doesn't believe he's the best thing since sliced bread!

    I think Matt Smith is much better as Dr Who

    I don't fancy David Tennant - I'm straight - but I thought he was a damn good Doctor. But then, he had great costars such as Billie and John Barrowman and Noel Clarke to spark off, and great scripts too.... as for Matt Smith, I think he's OK but apart from the story with Vincent Van Gogh in it, I haven't really enjoyed any of his stories... and I don't like Karen Gillan, for some reason that baffles me. I don't even fancy her. Spose its cos I'm loyal to Billie. And to SMG... ;)


    PS I don't really rate sliced bread actually!! Unless its really, really thick sliced which makes for great toast. I prefer to buy unsliced loaves and cut 'em myself.

    Ali Bastian (Becca Hayton/Dean) dated Kevin Scarce (Jake Dean). Kevin Scarce also dated Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen).

    I also know that Sarah Dunn (Mandy Richardson/Hutchinson) dated Marcus Patric (Ben Davies)


    Claire King (kim Tate) was also Married to PeterAmory (Chris Tate) for many years (Emmerdale).

    Because I am a saddo, I remember Janette Beverley was in a couple of episodes of Corrie back in the 80s. I think it was Kevin, Sally, Martin Platt, Jenny Bradley and Curly borrowed a boat and Janette Beverley played a friend of one of the girls who ended up snogging Curly.

    Gawd knows how many years ago that was now mind because it was before kevin & sally had children.

    Didn't he then have an affair/relationship with Samantha Giles who played Bernice Blackstock/Thomas in Emmerdale too?

    I know in Doctors the actors who played George and Ronnie Woodson are married in real life.
