Recurring characters
Is Eastenders the only soap that has them?
In EE we've got Tracy Winston Gaynor Aunt Sal Ritchie Scott (The Best lawyer in town!) DCI Marsden Grace There may be more? I can't think of any in the other soaps really? Do Michelle's parents count in Corrie? I suppose Corrie used to have Charlie West (Les's dodgy mate), Yana Lumb (Much missed) but I can't think of any now in Corrie or Emmerdale. Are there any? |

Tracy is a legend. Been there from Day 1. I would love a random episode centred around her one day.

Hollyoaks has tonnes of recurring/supporting characters.
They have about 60 cast members and the only regulars realistically are Tony, Darren, Nancy, Rhys, Jacqui, Mercedes, Carmel, Theresa, Bart, Amy, Ste, Cheryl, Brendan, Linsey, Doug, Texas, Dodger, Will, Ash, Annalise, Barney, Scott, Rob, Maddie, Tilly, Callum, George, Cindy, Seth,Ruby and Riley Leanne, Esther, Ricky, Liberty, Johnno, Myra, Finn are all supporting characters that pop up as and when the story requires it and usually just as an extra body. |

Anybody remember Big Ron? I loved him, such a shame he died in real life.
Perhaps Tracy and Winston could be having a secret affair! Then when it all comes out they decide to get married and have the reception in the pub! Or is that all too far fetched?

I remember Big Ron! R.I.P
![]() I think EastEnders is unique amongst the soaps in having recurring "extras" who in some cases (eg Tracy, Winston) have been around since the early days. Emmerdale has Bishop George, though he hasn't been seen for a while I don't think. Also PC Swirling, who last appeared after Hazel found Any's baby in the phone box. A few years back, they did have more recurring characters - Victoria's friend Kayleigh Gibbs, Hotten Courier reporter John McNally, Dean the King's Haulage driver - but they seem to have cut down on them. |

Mr Lister has been the Market Inspector since 2008. |

Also, remember Ina. The actor who played her died in real life, quite sad

Aunt Pam & Bill Webster went from being semi-regulars on Coronation St to recurring characters.
That vicar friend of Ashley's in Emmerdale, the dopey one, is he recurring? |

EE also has Mr Lister the market inspector. I love the recurring characters in EE and also how every so often we find out little things about there life. Tracey hasnt had many lines recently so Im hoping for some stuff from her soon.

Neighbours has a good few.
We have Nurse Jodie, the various people who work in Harold's and then we have Dr. Olenski and Dr. Peggy Newton. |
