Neighbours has a real life mother and son - the actress who plays Steph and the guy who plays Josh. Their characters are not connected at all however.

William Roaches sons played his son and grandson too didn't they? And I think Anne Haddys husband turned up in Neighbours at some point.

Lots of Coronation Street marriages ...

Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) was married to Alan Browning who played her screen husband Alan Howard.

Sue Nicholls (Audrey) is married to Mark Eden (Alan Bradley).

Anne Kirkbride met her husband David Beckett when he was cast as Deirdre's boyfriend, Dave Barton.

Jane Danson's husband Robert Beck appeared briefly as Jimmy Dockerson a number of years ago.

Also, Ellie Leach (Faye Windass) is Brooke Vincent's cousin.

I'm sure there are more.

Rebekah and Sebastian Elmaloglou were both in Home and Away. I think they're cousins in real life.

Siblings David Tom and Heather Tom were both on the Young and the Restless and strangely after they both left their characters Billy and Victoria were paired together so I guess neither of them can return, they also played siblings on One Life to Live.

On Days of Our Lives Deidre Hall's twin sister (whose name I forget) also played Marlena's twin in the 80's then later returned in the '00s as a Marlena look a like.

William Roache's sons have appeared in Corrie alongside him. Linus played Peter Barlow from 1973 to 1975 and later Ken's long lost son Lawrence Cunningham in 2010. Roache's other son James played his grandson by the same name in 2010 and 2011.

His second wife Sara played a Judge at Tracy's trial in 2007.
