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. |

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. |
