Hmmm

Bradley Walsh - Corrie - Host of The Chase, Lead role in Law & Order UK.

Barry Sloane - Hollyoaks - Recurring role in Revenge, a successful US TV series.

Robert Kazinsky - Eastenders - Recurring role in True Blood

Emmett Scanlan - Hollyoaks - Since leaving Hollyoaks has had roles in In The Flesh and The Fall

Surrane Jones - A few TV series most well known being Scott & Bailey.

Also the woman who played Toyah in Corrie has had roles in Holby City and Law & Order UK

Plus the actress who played Hannah in Hollyoaks has recently got a role in Once Upon A Time

There are few others who have had successful 'celebrity' careers after leaving soaps despite not getting any acting roles. e.g. Helen Flanagan and Natalie Cassidy.

Oddly enough quite a few ex-Hollyoaks have started to appear in American shows. But ones I can think of are...

Barry Sloane - Revenge
Roxanne McKee - Game of Thrones
Emma Rigby - Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
Madeleine Mantock - The Tomorrow People
Robert Kazinsky - True Blood, Pacific Rim, Originally ment to be in the Hobbit.

Emmett Scanlan is doing fine recently, and deservedly so.

EastEnders - Tamzin Outhwaite and Daniela Denby-Ashe are both regularly on TV. Gemma Bissix, Gillian Taylforth and Michelle Collins went on to roles in other soaps. Lacey Turner seems to have done alright too.

Coronation Street: Suranne Jones and Sarah Lancashie are the main ones. Katherine Kelly has done well in the short time she's been out of Corrie.
