Just been showing my brother my autograph book and, being a massive eastenders and coronation street, he was very impressed.

I haven't written in a while and didn't get many back myself so I guess I'm just wondering who are the most reliable repliers from these two soaps? Also, I've completely forgotten the etiquette of what to actually write! Like I said it's been a while!
Help please!”
It's quite difficult to give a definitive answer to this, because everyone seems to have a different experience, and there are very few actors these days who are guaranteed to reply. In my experience, the following are quite good at replying, and will usually dedicate:
EastEnders: Harry Reid, Davood Ghadami, Laila Morse, June Brown, Rudolph Walker, Lisa Hammond, Maddy Hill, Timothy West, Danny-Boy Hatchard, Linda Henry, Annette Badland, Luisa Bradshaw-White
Coronation Street: Helen Worth, Barbara Knox, Sue Nicholls, David Neilson, Andy Whyment, Patti Clare
As for what to write, just say you're a fan of Corrie/EE, what you like about their character, and explain that you're collecting autographs for your brother. Make sure you make it clear who you want the card to be dedicated to.
Hope that's of some help to you.
