Which soap actors have to put on an accent?

Obviously Michelle Collins puts on that northern accent brilliantly :-o

And Alison King put on the horrible common voice Carla has as Alison is very nicely spoken

But who else puts on an accent??

    Jordan Smith (Andrew in Neighbours) is Scottish so puts on his Australian accent, but I think he's stopped bothering because it's terrible...

    And wasn't Doug in HO supposed to be an Irish student before they realised PJ Brennan couldn't do the accent?

    do you mean he wasnt born mcfadden? or am i reading this wrong? because if you do mean that it is true. i read it somewhere. dont think all the other ones are true though.

    i know she's left but i assume everyone knows laurie brett's real accent is scottish.

    Sorry yes I meant he wasn't born mcfadden!

    I didn't know laurie was Scottish

    If you watch the early episodes when the Mitchell sisters arrive Samantha Womack has a really strong cockney accent which disappeared over time

    In the article annoucing that she was joining Waterloo Road she said:

    "Not least because for the first time in my career I will be working in my native accent which I am really excited about."
