who is britains longest serving child soap star
of all time i mean, for example in australia its kate ritchie who played sally for 20 years, in america its some actresss called kimberly something she has played her role since 1985 in general hospital since age 7 although she had a two year break in 2000. in england i know natalie cassidy and james alexandra were both in eastenders for many years. devon anderson who plays billie has been since 1993 too but hes had many breaks so he doesnt count.
also may i say this doesnt include people who joined soaps when they were teenagers like adam woodyatt, im only refering to people who joined as children and stayed for many years.

didnt they join when they were like 16 though? i wouldnt consider a 16 year old a child3.
Didn't Libby and Toadie were still in high school and went to university in Neighbours.
Ryan was 15.
Most of teh kids in teh UK get recast! or leave when teh family leave.
he started in 2000
I know Andy has been in Emmerdale for years, so I would say him
Belle Dingle I think has been in the show since she was a baby (could be wrong on that one though).
As has been mentioned... most child actors are so rubbish they get replaced whenever they need them to actually act.
However, in terms of teenagers:
Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) joined Corrie when he was 15, and is still there at the age of 35 (20 years)
Jack P Shepherd joined at age 12, and is now 22 (10 years)
i wonder if he will get axed eventually
No-one will be left to look after him to way he's going
lol if i was him i would feel guilty by now for making so many loved ones die lol haha.
He was only a child when he joined EastEnders
Martin and Sonia Fowler would have been in that running too
he was 17 when he joined so not really a little boy.
Toadie and Libby joined in 1994.
Sally Fletcher joined in 1986 at the age of 8.
Home and Away did not start until 1988?
home and away started in 1988 so she would have been 9 or 10
