Soap stars in more than one soap
With the news today that former Coronation Street actress Tracy Brabin (I too young to remember who she played) is joining Emmerdale as Carole (Ashley's new lover), how many other actors/actresses have appeared in more than one soap?
How many can you name? My list: Tracy Brabin, Michelle Collins, Zoe Henry, Jason Merrells, Gaynor Faye, Chris Bisson, Sue Johnston, Catherine Tydesley, Ben Price, Vicky Binns, |

Jason Grimshaw off of Coronation Street is currently off of Emmerdale too. I find it incredibly implausible that he hasn't called Charlie Stubbs out on being dead yet.

Off the top of my head:
Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle, Emmerdale) appeared in Corrie as a copper and a pizza delivery boy in the early 90s. Eric Potts (Diggory Compton, Corrie) appeared in Emmerdale as B&B guest Mr Wilkie in 2012. |

Gillian Talyforth (EE, now HO), Nikki Sanderson (CS, now HO), Sheree Murphy (ED, HO, soon Neighbours)
Alex Carter played Lee Hunter in HO, then played Bob's son Jamie in ED, then left and went back to HO for a bit. Same with Gemma Bissix, she was Clare in EE, then Clare in HO, then went back to EE for a short stint, then went back to HO. Jeremy Sheffield had a part in CS as Becky's bloke who she went off with didn't he? Now he's in HO. Cindy HO had a minor part in CS as Jason's baby's mum (which actually turned out to be Charlie's kid). Leela in HO has played minor characters in both ED and CS. Looking through the current HO cast list I can see a total of 11 cast members that have been in other soaps! ED have 7, CS have 3, I can't see any on EE's list*. But then it depends if you've heard about it or not, I very recently discovered Nana McQueen in HO played Cindy Beale's mum in EE. * Actually just remembered Jamie Lomas has been in both EE and HO. |

Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby) also made an appearance in The Bill. Then there was Nancy HO who appeared in Crossroads. Further back an actor called Seb Castang was in Night & Day before appearing in Family Affairs... and talking of FA Kezia Pelka was in Brookside before appearing in that show, too. |

What may not help was that, at the time, I may have mixed up the name Kirsty Leigh Porter with newcomer at the time Georgia May Foote who plays Katy Armstrong! ![]() Also, Fraser was played by Jesse Birdsall, who played Marcus in Eldorado. He may have also been in EE but I have watched it rarely in recent years. |
