Will in HO had a massive transplant from a geeky kind of character quite shy to a psycho murderer.

    EE

    Kat - She bent over backwards to win Alfie back in 2005 and would not have cheated again.
    Sharon - Overly critical to others.
    Alfie -To a doormat that would put up with cheating. He simply would not in 2004, irrespective of the fact that Andy Hunter was the next thing to rape.
    Sam - Like Kat, also regressed to a slapper. At least they had the two versions of Sam to partially account for that one.

    I won't count Ronnie as her going bad does appear to be character progression.

    CS

    Todd - Scheming and manipulating
    Sunita - Just a cow it seemed.

    Will I agree with.

    Finn - well I can imagine that committing a horrific crime like rape for power/control could harden a person so it's not too unrealistic.

    Billy Mitchell in EE. When he first came into it he was Jamie's abusive and violent uncle. Now he's a comedy buffoon who wouldn't say boo to a goose. Really odd personality transplant, that one.

    Finn in Hollyoaks. Dislike the character for obvious reasons (it's hard to like a rapist haha) but he is still one of the characters I most enjoy watching.

    It's funny to think about how he's changed from around 2011 time when the character was played by a different actor.

    Laurel Thomas - Emmerdale

    Ashley Thomas - Emmerdale although he as reverted back to his usual self now, but it felt like he was turned into a dad-basher to justify splitting him from Laurel

    Lisa Hunter - Hollyoaks

    Sunita Alahan - Corrie

    Also Lucy Beale in EE seems to have gone from a tough mouthy bint during Melissa Suffield's era to a feeble wouldn't say boo to a goose type since Hetti Bywater took over.

    Too true. He's completely different now.

    Steve McDonald. He used to be a bad boy that went to prison. Now he's just a joke that everyone laughs at!

    Glad someone else feels like I do. I do think especially with the underage sex plot Keith Rice would have been more believable sleeping with Amber.

    well I find it hard to believe how Finn was months ago, he would do something like that so yeah it does seem like a personality transplant to me.

    Corrie - Sunita, Todd, Owen, Tina, Dennis

    BIB - They kind of corrected this by having Derek reveal it to be him who locked Max up for having a black friend.

    Yeh, could you imagine if the original actor was still playing Finn.

    Pat in Ee. A nasty, horrible tart changing into everyone's favourite auntie. Absolutely loathed her.

    Ashley had a mental breakdown when yet a second wife betrayed him, which led to his uncharacteristic behaviour. It was very poor writing that the church did not support him back to health, as they would have done in real life. He is now back to his original nice character and should have been reinstated in Emmerdale church when Jude left.
    Fiz (CS) The change in her character is strange; she used to be a pleasant, helpful person, now she has become a stalker (to Roy).
    Steve (CS): he has mellowed and I now like the character.
