Can you think of any soap actors whom you suspect are just playing themselves under a different name?

The other two obvious ones from EE are Shane Richie and Barbara Windsor.

Good point! Heard director say that they all play themselves because no actor is that good.

I wouldn't say Temeka is just playing her own personality. I've watched interviews with her and although she is still bubbly its nowhere near to the extent of kim. Temeka is also so much smarter.

And to add, I'd say the person who plays Tamwar is playing himself. He is a very dry comedic person in real life and in character, I don't think their is much difference between himself and the character.

Sid Owen, completely.

'Businessman' apparently. That'll last.

The biggest example surely had to be Rosie Webster? She left the show to move to London to become a model, and then suddenly became a tabloid favourite in real life (and a WAG). It was almost as though it was Rosie in the papers.

David is COMPLETELY different to joey in real life. I've met him twice and he's a genuinely nice guy quite shy but also funny and he speaks completely different to joey, he has his regular accent (Essex).

I don't know whether Tameka is playing herself, as I've never seen her in interviews. However, the character of Kim is a lot like how she acted, as various characters, in 3 Non-Blondes. Perhaps she just has a general comic character that she uses.

Anthony Cotton is the opposite to how he is in Corrie.

In the show he is a fanny but in real life he's a dick.

Hope this helps.
