Which soap characters remind you of characters from other soaps? For me...

I think Mercedes [HO] is a mixture of Kat [EE] and Janine [EE]

Janine from EE and Cindy from HO

Lauren [EE] and Sinead [HO]

Poppy [EE] and Carmel [HO]

Bianca [EE] and Jacqui [HO]

Big MO [EE] and Nana [HO]

These are the ones I can think of. Which others?

Cocky, wideboy Danny Baldwin was brought into corrie on the back of the success and popularity of Alfie Moon on EE.

The McQueen sisters in Hollyoaks were admittedly based on the Slater sisters.

Previously nice and normal Tracy Barlow when brought back recast was turned into a bitch to rival eastenders Janine Butcher.

The McQueen sisters - The Slater sisters; Jacqui - Lynne (gobby - leader of the brood), Mercedes - Kat (gobby, slapper), Carmel and Tina - mixture of Little Mo (Carmel got her ditziness, Tina got her vunerableness) and Michaela - Zoe (youngest of the brood, possibly the gobbiest)

Katy Sudgen - Kat Slater - Mercedes McQueen (all slappers)

Tracy Barlow - Janine Butcher

Simon Barlow - Tom Osbourne

I agree with Poppy and Carmel. I see the similarities with Nana and Big Mo but not that much. I can kind of see where your coming from with Mercedes being like Kat and Janine but the rest no.

Janine and Cindy - Nope, Janine is worse.

Lauren and Sinead - Nope, Sinead is worse.

Bianca and Jaquie - Nope, Jacquie is hard as nails and will stick up for the right things. Bianca however is just a gobby cow!

Nana and Big Mo are both big, loud old women that get involved with dodgy deals for money

Mercedes is slutty like Kat and has the bitchiness of Janine. But she also has a soft side when she wants, like Kat and Janine.

Janine and Cindy are both money-grabbing, spiteful, middle-aged women that are very bitchy but love their daughters and can show sympathy

Lauren and Sinead are both as bad as each other. Lauren is/was a raging alcoholic that is very in-considerate but really trying to get better. Sinead is also in a desperate mess but is really trying to sort herself out for her daughter. And they are both in bad states of their life because of their father.

Bianca and Jacqui are both chavy, loud and feisty and fiercely protective of their family. They usually sacrifice themselves and get themselves in trouble for their family.

Janine is a lot more worse then Cindy. Cindy would stop at a certain point where as Janine would go thy extra mile.

Lauren and Sinead, Sinead has become a prostitute, clipper, gangster, theif and has covered for murder while Lauren is just a girl with problems who turned to alcohol.

Bianca and Jacqui - I can see where your coming from but Bianca hasn't for anything on Jacqui. I'd say Ronnie and Jacqui are not alike!

HO's Tony, EE's Ian and CS Ken. All the longest serving sole original characters with a long running reputation for failed marriages/relationships and a yearning to be seen as a cut above the rest. The former pair are both in the same industry and are/have been regarded as a bit of a joke by some of their neighbours.

Amy (ED) and Lola (EE) Both brought up through the care system, both wild childs who troubled their respective guardians and mellowed out thanks to their children who they both had at a very young age!

Cain (ED) and Phil (EE) Just a carbon copy of each other except Cain is apparently good looking where as Phil is just an overweight tomato!

I suppose Janine is more malicious than Cindy but they do have similarities.

Lauren and Sinead are both girls who have struggled from poor parenting. It isn't just alcohol Lauren turned to. She got kicked out of America for drugs, tried to run over [possibly kill] her own dad, laughed when her cousin died, was in a relationship with her own cousin and nearly ruined a rape victim's life by getting the police involved on her murder [I know there was more to it than that]. They've both quite rough young girls in bad states.

And I suppose, but Ronnie is more classy than Jacqui. Jacqui and Bianca are both chavs.

I can see where you're coming from, but Ian is a lot nastier than Tony and Ken. Tony and Ken are popular with their neighbors, the majority of Ian's can't stand him.
