The thread title is as it suggests. I remember seeing Shirley Stelfox pop in the film '1984' as a prostitute. It was a minor role but I remember being quite shocked when she lifted her skirt to reveal she was going commando! I was young at the time and all I could think was "that's Edna from Emmerdale with no knickers on!"

Another one that surprised me was Patrick Mower (Rodney Blackstock) popping up- as either Edgar or Edmund- in a dodgy and cheap BBC version of 'King Lear.' We were studying it in school at the time and we watched it on VHS laughing at the floppy swords and shaky sets- memories!

Tonight I rewatched 'Red Riding 1983' and was surprised to see Corrie's Catherine Tyldesley pop up in a minor role as the girlfriend of a young man framed for the murder of a young girl. She was a brunette at the time so it didn't spring to my attention the first time I saw it.

You wish!

Connor Mcintyre aka Phelan from Coronation Street was in Wire In The Blood. He was a baddie in the detective drama.

A teenage Jake Wood (Max Branning) in Inspector Morse as a boy that worked for a driving school.

Jason Merrells in queer as folk his character also has a scene in an episode of queer as folk where his character says something about who the hell watchs emmerdale his character I watched it once had to switch it off 😂

Jake Wood (Max, EastEnders) as bad boy gun shot victim in Casualty who also happened to be in a secret gay relationship with his best friend!

I once spotted Tina in Corrie actually serving behind the bar and not loitering in the smoking area.

I swear I also saw Laurel in Emmy actually at work in the factory recently, although I might well have dreamt that one.

One time I came home to find Rachel Bright baking in my kitchen .

All she had on was a pair of slippers
An unexpected treat

I saw Sarah Platt from CS boarding a budget airline Jet2 plane one year...
Maybe it was going to Milan...

Im sure theres a really dodgy 80's advert doing the rounds of the internet with Jake Wood - with hair! - playing Patsy Palmers little brother.
Also Rudolph Walker in the very first episode of Mr Bean.

That episode was actually on ITV3 last night! Him and Owen Puleston Davies (Owen) also worked together on another TV drama years ago. Davies spoke about it lately by saying that back then it was late night pints, whereas now it's social lunches!

When I was a kid I saw Ricky Butcher(Sid Owen) going into my local M&S

I met Ian Reddington (Corrie's Vernon) in a bar in Edinburgh once. I also spotted Charlie Hardwick (ED's Val) crossing Lothian Road one day with some gal pals.

It was from 1992 and it was a BT Advert http://youtu.be/UkJ-AjHa9p4

Patsy was also in a late 80s Clearasil advert http://youtu.be/ukjxQ1JrrTw

Jake Wood in Only Fools and Horses!!

Sue Tully (Michelle Fowler) in the ladies at Highbury Stadium.

The woman who played Isobelle in Take The High Road (she was also in River City) was wandering around a nearby garden centre a few years ago. It was before she appeared in river city but I recognised her straight away.

I saw Marlon Dingle in Meadowhall.

My friend saw Liz McDonald in Selfridges in Manchester and she tried to shove in the queue quoting those immortal words "Don't you know who I am"?

My girlfriend saw Antony Cotton when she went to the opening of a spa. She was having her hair done and he came over to chat, and he was (she says) exactly like Shaun on Corrie.

My sister and I walked past Adam Woodyatt in Seaworld, Florida about 10 years ago. He was wearing a Liverpool shirt.

Think the girl who played Kirsty in ee is in The Bible now. Playing Delilah. On freeview ch 31. Odd.


Edit - yep, quick google search confirms it was indeed her. Sat watching it now and there's another familiar face. When some bloke off casuality pops up in a temple it makes Kirsty's appearance with Samson less peculiar.
